His Worship said that thought there was a case to an- awer, although he agreed with Mr. Lo to a certain point. He in timated that the defence would have to explain where the eight buckets from the kong No. 6 had gone,

Mr. Lo pointed out that there had been no evidence to show that the use of eight buckets of mother mash was excessive.

On his Worship intimating that he would find there was a case te mawer, Mr. Lo put his client into the witness box.

The defendant said that he had had over 30 years experience in distilling Chinese wine. He had formerly assisted Mr. Taylor in his experiments.
