behalf of the defence.
FOUR POINTS "The charge in this enac is an unusual one. The crime alleged is being un accessory before the fact of murder. To establish that charge, the Crown have to prove four things:
1. That a murder was committed.
They have done that.
2. That the murder was.committed by Wong and Toui.
Whatever opinion you may have formed of Tsul's evidence, I think you will probably be satisiled that the fatal shot was fired by Wong and that Tsai was present at the time.
the
That the two men who rom- mitted the murder were procured by Lau as the agent for othebody else. -There may be Home question about that point.
4. That the nerused was the man who employed Lan to organise this murder.
That is the great point in the whole, trial.
The Chief Justice then turned to the "reasonable doubt" point.
"Suspicion, and even grave suspicion", he said, is not enough to bring in a verdict of guilty. The guilt must be established be.) yond all reasonable doubt.

Of course that did not mean fantastic or fanciful doubt, but such a doubt as would make the jury pause in some serious affair in their own lives on which they i could not take a chance.
They could not, of course, take a chance against the prisoner.
He thought he ought to say before coming to the case a few words on the conditional pardon procedure provided by law.
PARDONS EXPLAINED. The scheme of the conditional pardon was as follows:
"A" is arrested on suspicion of. let them say, robbery. He makes a statement implicating himself and "B." The Crown feel they have not suflicient material for a conviction of ""A" or "B" and not suficient material for a conviction
of "B" without the assistance of "A". They say to "A" we shall obtain for you a full pardon if you will repent on oath what you have told us about "B" and what we believe to be true,"
Continuing, the Chief Justice said that on the trial "A" would not be given a full pardim because the Crown did not trust him as he might go back on them and refuse to tell the truth.
