The defendant's mother, Mrs. Lizzie Lai Chal Chiu," said that when abe saw her son on the ground with the sergeant kneeling on him, she asked "What's the matter?" The Borgeant told her to "shut up." On explaining that the assaulted person was her son, she was told to get out or she would be arrested for interfering. She described how the defendant was marched to the station with his handa twisted behind his back.

Continuing, Mr. Brutton drew the Magistrate's attention to the sergeant's evidence where he said "I made my report at the station and they drew up the charge." His Worship had heard that the man was suspected of something quite apart from arms und therefore should not read into that evidence more than what was in it.

Mr. Brutton added that the same thing happened to his client. It was impossible to believe that the Sergeant suspected a man in a short jacket to be running about with arms in his pos Mr. Brutton than addressed the

He added that arme never crossed the officer's mind and that had a cross- summons not been taken out against the Sergeant he would charge his client immediately after the Sergeant had said, when being cross-examined, that he had suspected the defendant of theft of clothing. Mr. Brutton added then a man stood arraigned only on the charge brought against him. His client had been charged with Teslsting search under the Arms Ordinance, and as the Sergeant when he stopped the defendant only suspected him of stealing clothing, the defendant was entitled to be discharged for resisting 1 search for arms. There was no such thought in the Sergeant's mind and the charge was unquestionably an after-complainant in the box, after hav- thought.

Contradictory Stories.

The two material points in the Sergeant's, evidence were contra- dicted by the lukong, who stated that the defendant did not strug- gle on the way to the station but walked quietly. The second point was that the Sergeant stated that the people were pulling and tug- ging at him and that the lukong went to his assistance, but this the lukong himself denied.

Mr. Brutton continued that the
