Replying to the jury, witness Haid that there never had been a whistle in the shop.

An interpreter gave evidence as to reading a charge to the prisoner at the Police Station, in reply to which he stated he was asked by two dismissed fokis to open the door and let them into the shop, but this he refused to do.

Evidence was given by Sub- Inspector Rozeskwy to the effect that when Lai Chak arrived at the Police Station he had various cords tied round him and a pair of trousers tied round his neck, but there was nothing that would have prevented him from taking them off himself. There was, he said, some confusion behind the counter.. Witness had, not Meen the pair of socks that Lal Chak had spoken of,
