When the case resumed before Mr. Schofield at the Central Court yesterday concerning Chan-Sik-ain, well-known Hongkong merchant and pawnbroker, charged with unlawfully seizing a business and misappropriating funds and other property amounting to over a lakh, a demand was made by the prosecu- tion for the production by the do fence of a power-of-attorney, said to have been forged and in the possession of the accused and by means of which he is alleged to have been able to carry out a "colossal fraud."

On behalf of the accused, Mr. F. X.

The view of the Magistrato was that Mr. D'Almada could not be compelled to show the document, although non-production might bring on consequences.

On

Secondary Evidence. Argument was further continued the question of "accondary evidence" on which the prosecution now relled in default of the power- of-attorney, and the point was still left in abeyance when the Court adjourned, until Wednesday after-

noon.

In the course of un extensive opening on the case for the pro- secution on Wednesday, Counsel alleged that the accused procured three men to Impersonate partners of the King Fook Wo firm, and with their assistance to forge power-of-attorney conferring on. himself the sole control and direc- tion of the business both in Hong- kong and in Indo-China. Having ousted the managing partner pre- viously in charge of the Indo-China business, it is alleged, he had hile wife Chan Cheung-shi, to similarly seize the Hongkong office, and that when the manager

Chan Han-po resisted, she had him arrested on a false declaration of fraud. but oventually bailed him out with the firms's money and induced him, by enlarging on the gravity of his legal position, to jump bail and go Into hiding. Haying thus secured full control of the business, the accused is alleged to have operated it as he willed, to the detriment of the other partners who were effec- tively allenced by a threat of being anddled with the firm's debts.

Partners Took Action.

The situation continued

for a number of years, said Counsel, until recently, when the partners

Mr. Brooką explained that In 1929 he had appeared for the com- plainant against Chan Hang-po before the latter disappeared. "I am instructed now again by the com- plainant, and my instructions are to apply for an increase of the bail granted to Chan Hang-po,” said Mr. Brooks.

Mr. Sin opposed, emphasizing the fact that Chan Hang-po, although he could have stayed away with perfect safety, had thought fit to surrender himself expressly for. the purpose of giving evidence against Chan Sik-nin and in that way clearing himself of the charge. Mr. Sin was desirous of knowing the name of Mr. Brooks's client, and Mr. Brooks revealed

that it was none other than Chan Cheung- shi, previously named by Mr. Lo TSANG FOOK PIANO

na being the wife of Chan Sik- nin.

Mr. Brooks, however, stated that the information which led to the arrest warrant executed in 1029 ngainat Chan Hang-po was by "some-one else".

Mr. Sin pressed for the dis closure of the informer's name, but this was not sustained by the Magistrate, who, on the other hand, indicated that he would like to have the address so as to complete hie, records Dr the front charge sheets.

No. 55, Bonham Strand East, was then given by Mr. Brooks as the address of the firm, and a sensation was provided by Mr. Sin declaring that the firm was no longer to be found there, and that he had made

search for without avail.

The Magistrate noted Mr. Sin's application for the informer's name, and informed Mr. Brooks that at that stage he saw no reason for increasing the ball.

The proceedings in the case were adjourned at this point, and the Court resumed hearing of the case against Chan Sik-nin.
