In answer to the charge the first defendant admitted possession and said that he knew the coins were counterfelt but claimed he had in tangled to sell them meroly as scrap metal and not na a monetary unit.

Detective Inspector Rozcakwy informed his Worship that the only evidence against the defendants on the conspiracy charge was that the second defendant took the first de- fendant to a house in Wanchai and there introduced him to a rickaha coolle who, however, being shown the coins, refused to have anything to do with them. The Police heard of the intended transaction and the defendants were arrested on leaving the pre- mises.

His Worship remarked that there used to be a shop which purchased counterfeit coina solely as scrap and asked if there was any such shop in existence now.
