Mr.

Schofield discharged ali four accused, remarking that he was not at all satisfied with the complainant's evidence, and that complainant made himself out to be a very foolish person.

The defendants were Chan Fat, Li Fu-lam. Lo Yiu. coolles, and the first defendant's wife, Wong Mui,

Lalehikok Road, He telephoned Shamshulpo Police Station, and asked them to send a detective to 113, Lalchikok Rond to and out what was the matter. Later in the evening, a Chinese woman, wife of the com-" plainant in the case, escorted by a detective, came to No. 7 Station. where she reported her husband was being detained.

Seemed Dejected.

About 8.30 p.m., the same even- ing, in company with the woman and two detectives, Sergeant O'Donovan went to the fat in Western Street, and in the front eublele found the complainant chair. seated in 2

The first. second and third defendants were present. Complainant appeared to be in a very dejceted mood. He told the Police he had gone to the floor between 10 and 11 o'clock that morning, and the defendants would not allow him to leave. A woman (fourth defendant), who' claimed to be the first defendant's wife, was standing in the passage. The complainant alleged that in the morning she had gone, over to his house and told him that the first defendant wanted to see him regarding the return of loan for $500. Complainant admitted this loan.

He went with

the woman to Western Street, and there he re- mained. The woman went to Lai- chikok Rond with a note written by the complainant, and in conse- quence his wife sent her son over to see him. The son suggested getting Police aid, but the father said it would be better to refer the matter to the mother.

When the complainant's wife went to the Police Station, she was very much frightened

and ap- pealed for help.

Owed Money. Complainant, in evidence, said he had known the first and fourth defendants for the past three years. He borrowed the $500 two years ago.

Cross-examined by Mr. Lo, the witness denied that he had trump- ed up the charge in an endeavour to evade payment. He did not owe the first defendant any money, hut the company did,

Mr. Lo-Did you ever write a promissory note in his favour?

Witness-Yes, he forced me to write it. I signed the note, but the body of it is not my writing.

Pressed further, witness admit- ted the entire note was written by himself. He denied he had over left Hongkong during the past three years. He also admitted having gone to No. 16, Western Street, second floor, of his own free will. He could have left the premises if he wanted, but he was afraid to do so. He denied ob- coolies. taining "squeeze" from Ho admitted borrowing. $400 from a froman in 1931, but said he was not aware of the fact that that fireman hnd Inld a report to the police against him later.
