PRISONER UNMOVED BY SENTENCE

In the words of the well-known formula, the Chief Justice (Sir Joseph Kemp) this morning pronounced sentence of death on Cheng Kwok-yau for procuring the murder of George Fung in Village Road on March 24th.

As he stood to receive sentence, Cheng smiled. At the conclusion he bowed and left the dock, still smiling.

Nearly 2,000 people were crammed into the Court and adjoining corridors. Another 500 stood outside, waiting anxiously to hear the sentence. A sound sug- body gesting that it had come as a shock rose from the of the Court as sentence was pronounced.
