His Worship might think that that had nothing to do with the charges as the Hotel did not figure na com- plainants, but the evidence was to show that. it all formed part of a system.

The Crown Solicitor then quoted his Worship authorities to show that such evidence was admissible.

It was interesting to see what in fact he did do that day. In his statement to the Police after he was arrested he said he had taken boat for Maulla and other places. He said that he decided at the very last moment to board the steamer for Canton and abandon the trip to Macao.
