The application, continued Mr. Lo, was based on fraudulent conspiracy und fraud. The whole of the report as he read it alleged concert and conspiracy. The law made no die- tinction between men, but one of his two clients was a Chinese Justice of the Peace and had been honoured by his pubile works with the M.B.E. by His Majesty the King. His other client was also well-known in com- mercial circles.
