The Hon. the Attorney General (Mr. E. H. Sharp, KC..) briefly opened the case, and called Sergeant Fan Ching who said that on the utnu in day in question he was stationed at the New Territory. On that date he was at Antung where there was a temple known as Fak Tai. He saw a man running out of the temple, and followed and caught. He found the man was carrying three boxes of opium and a pair of scales. He arrested him and proceeded to take him in the palice station, having to pass the temple to do so.

Whilst

on the way, he attacked from behind by the three prisoners who demanded the release of the prisoner. He refused, whereupon they set about him and pulled him to the ground and struck him many times. They stopped up his mouth with earth and grass, after he had blown his whistle, and then they took away his whistle and revolver. He was then stabbed many! times in the face, ears and hands. He became unconscious, and when he came to he was in the Police Station, and afterwards removed to the Government Civil Hospital. He had known all the prisoners before.

Sergeant Perkins deposed to being on patrol duty on the night in question, when he heard groans from the roadside. He went in the firection from whence the sounds proceeded and found the prosecutor lying in a small pit about two feet deep surrounded by prickly bushes. He took him to the police station, where he was attended to. The following morning he made an examination of the scene, and found the sergeant's whistle and the holster of his revolver. There were signs of a very severe struggle, and marks in the road where they had dragged the body about. In the temple he found the sergeant's umbrella.
