This second man, whose name is Lam King, was the man who complained of having been the victim of unnecessary force from Sergeant Whelan, the detective of- ficer in charge of the case. Vari- ous Police witnesses, including two Chinese interpretera who were present at the interrogation of Lam King by Sergeant Whelan were criled to give evidence re- garding the alleged incident.

Cheung Kwok-yan interpreter at the Central Police Station, was called and he said that he was present at the interview between Sergeant Whelan and the two de- fendants but was not in the room the whole time, having been called in but two or three times to in- terpret. The first prisoner told the Police that he had been given the box by the second defendant, Lam King, who made no reply to the statement.

Saw no Violence. His Worship: Did you at any time see any violence used to wards this man? Did you see him strack by anybody or shaken by anybody or seized by the neck or anything of that sort? No. I did not.

Why did you hesitate in making that answer?--I wanted to make sure.

After the first prisoner had made this allegation against him (Lam King) was any preasure brought to bear on the latter in any way? No.

Mr. M. K.

Now did you see anything of that or not?-No, I did not.

Now, I put it to you that when this man in the dock (first de fendant) accused Lam King having received the arms him, Lam King denied it; only once but several times? didn't hear that,

I want to repeat this to make it quite clear that there should be no loophole. You say that nothing occurred in the room to have made the defendant suffer from the injuries to the chest or scratches on his neck?-No.

Witness agreed that it could have been caused if when carry- ing the box, the corner should come into sudden contact with the man's body.

In answer to his Worship, Dr. Bunje agreed that the marks could have been self-inflicted. The in- jarles were definitely older than 24 hours: further than that he could not go.
