Mr. J. Whyatt, Crown Counsel, said that in cases of receiving, the prosecution had to prove first that the articles were stolen, secondly that the articles were in defendant's possession, and thirdly that defen dant knew they were stolen. There was no difficulty here In proving

that the articles in the case were stolen for first and second defendants had pleaded guilty to the theft.

Men Enter Flat

д

The facts of the case, continued Counsel, were that on the morning of May 7 the three women, L1 San, the mother, Ng Met and Ng Ho, the daughters, were on the third floor of 37, Lion Rock Road. At 10 a.m. knock had been heard on the door. and Ng Mei had opened it to two men who said that they had come to look over the rooms that were for rent. Soon afterwards, another knock was heard and two more men entered. Then all four had entered, one of the men threatened Ng Mei with a knife and hustled all three women into the bathroom. From there they were later taken, and bound and gagged. From Ng Mel's neck they cut a gold chain with knife and from Li San took several rings.
