second defendants were outside people and they were alleged to have conspired in making illegal exactions from hawkers, The

policy adopted in the Colony in regard to hawkers was that a limited number of licences were granted to people with the view to limiting the number of hawkers. In this way, it was impossible for some people who were desirous of obtaining a living in that way, to tin so. After one had obtained a licence to hawk, one must adhere to one line of trade, that is if one took a licence to sell fruit, one must keep to selling fruit. One was not allowed to shift from one line to another.

This being the present policy. said Mr. Fitzroy there were many people who wanted to earn a living by hawking but were unable to do

Kwan Shiu-yoe, the son of Dr. Kwan, was represented by Mr. M. K. Lo while two other youths, Chun Yat-ho and Chan Fan were represented by Mr. F. H. Loaoby and were also charged in con- nexton with the alleged fraud,

Before his Worship gave his de- chalon in the case of Kwan Shiu- yee, Mr. Lo intimated that he wished made clear that although he did not cross-examine Mr. W. M. Thomson on the point at the inst hearing, Dr. Kwan did not admit he told the S.C.A. official that his xon knew the first two defendants. Mr. Lo remarked that he had not received any instructions on that | paint at the time but he was Bab- aaquently informed that no such statement was made by Dr. Kwan. One Defendant Discharged. Mr. Lo also pointed

out that even according to Mr. Thomson the statement was made at the first Interview at which the third defendant was not present and, in

absence.

what statement might have been made was not ad. | pussible in evidence. If he (Mr. Lo) did not submit it at the time he submitted then that the state ment was inadmissible.

Giving his decision bis Worship said that he had come to the con- clusion that the case against the third defendant had to be dismiss ed. There was no evidence that ho had been seen with the other two defendants at or about the time of the alleged fraud. There was also no evidence that the cer- tified extract of the third defen- dant's birth certifiente was ever In his possession.
