Li Hung and accused were formerly fokis together in an opium business which was apparently illicit because it was raided at the beginning of this year. The two men remained acquainted however, after

their business relations ceased. Accused, his wife, and small boy who was related to them, lived in a front eubicle at 8,: Gilman's Bazaar, and on April 21, the husband returned by the night boat from Macno where ho had pent somo days. Ho visited friends on his arrival in Hongkong and It was not until 3 a.m. that he returned home.

Li Hung would seek to give an innocent explanation of his presence there and would say that the woman had sent for him because he was going back to the country and she wanted him to take

her mother.

Without doubt, Lam Kan was jealous of his wife and suspected her and his account of what followed was probably an honest account. He would say that heard his wife telling Li Hung that her husband had not returned from the country, and that she added rather a. disparaging nick-
