ATTACK ON SOLICITORS.

DEFENCE OBJECTS TO QUESTIONS IN WING ON CASE.

JUDGE “CANNOT STOP IT.

Mr. F. C. Jenkin was interrupted in bis oross-examination this morning of the second defendant in the case at the Criminal Sessions, in which Au Kim-lui and Lam Fook-chu are charged with conspiracy to defraud. Mr. Alabaster objected to the line taken by Mr. Jenkin in regard to the account books, pointing out that the books were brought from Canton by second defendant's solicitors, and the only suggestion which could be inferred from the cross-examination involved not only the defendant but his legal advisers.

"It is developing from an attack on defendant," he added. "to an attuck on his solicitors."
