NO CASE

This concluded, the case for the prosecution, al Mr. D'Almada then submitted there was no case to go to the jury against any of the recuse. He argued that there was no evidence on which the Cours could say there was common design not merely, to effect the robbery but to ennalt L with violence. There was nis no evidence as to who committed the smurder, and counsel quoted authori ties to support his contention that if there was no common design to commit a robbery with violence, the aegused should be acquitteet.

Williams replied by quoting a local case, in 1906, in which the then

Chief

Justice

Lice held that if several men went to commit a robbery with the in- tention of accomplishing it in spite of what resistance then all of them show might meet,

ใหญ่

held re sponsible for the conse

consequence. His Lordship remarked that as far

the

case against the first accused, Wong Wing, was concerned there was nothing in the evidence apart from his own statement, in which he said he stood outside and watched. This, however, could not lafer that he had

AS

common design with the others to commit the robbery with violence, He accordingly ordered the ease to be withdrawn against the accused, hut in regard to the others he held they had case to answer because they themselves had admitted having bee inside the premises.

The case is proceeding.
