Another report states:

Inspector Ogg prosecuted and Mr. Leo d'Àlmada, jaṛ. (instructed by Mr. Leo d'Almada, snr.) appear-

ed for the defence.

According to the evidence of the prosecution the two drivers had a dispute over the parking of their cars at the Star Ferry and during a struggle the complainant received a severe stab wound to his left thigh. An Indian sergeant gave evidence of having seen the defen- dant produce a knife and inflict the injury but the complainant himself was unable to say who had been res- ponsible for the wound.

A watchman belonging to the Automobile Association was alleged by the Police to have a different statement to the Court, when he said that he did not see the stab bing, to that which he had given to the Police previously.
