Two of the three charges in the alleged attempted Wing Lok Street arson case were withdrawn yester day at the Criminal Sessions by Mr. Justice. Wood, following submissions by Mr. F. C.

The first and third counts allege that prisoners attempted to com- mit arson by setting fire to No. 77, Wing Lok Street, or a camp bed at that address, while the second count is one of conspiracy to coln

mit arson.

After the case for the Crown had closed yesterday morning, Mr. Jonkin aubmitted that there was

With regard to the first charge, he said that to prove the act alleged here there must be evidence constituting an actual attempt to set fire to the house, and there was no evidence at all, of any kind or description, which showed that either the first or second prisonera wore a party to the act of setting fire to the building. The charge con- spiracy had let in a great amount of evidence, about 6 per cent, which was not relevant to the first and third charges at all.

As regards the third count, there might be a great deal of matter which would arouse suspleion, but there was no actual evidence to.con- neet either of the first and second prisoners with the net of setting are to the premises. The first and third counts were so closely allied that they were one and the same.

He explained that Connaught Road West, where ho the vessel originally belonged to was sleeping, and told him about was scized by pickets ini, saying that the partners had him but the 1025 strike, went into the hands been losing money by gambling and of the Canton authorities and was that was why they had set the place. on fire.

On the evidence, could any, Tri- bunal say that their nets could be construed as being for any criminal purpose at all? There was not a single instance which they could pick upon and say that it was in- dicative of only one thing, Д criminal act.

In reply, Mr. Somerset Fitzroy, for the Crown, reviewed sections of the evidence and quoted authori ties which, he said, were as near to the point as he could find, as it was impossible to get a parallel caso concerning arson.

Two Counts Withdrawn.

His Lordship explained the counta to the jury, saying that the first and second prisoners, were not on the scene at the time of the fro, and the first and third counts would be withdrawn. It was up to the jury to satisfy themselves as to the remaining count, as to whether the prisoners had conspired.
