Mr. Davies asked the Court to dismize the charge as being absolutely unfounded. The prosecu. tion had failed to show in the first place any agreement between the complaining witness and Lopes. Not even the first clements of an embezzlement had been proved. Until the compradore agreement expired complainants had no right fo return of the money. If that money were not returned they could have recourse to civil action.
Mr, Chen submitted that evidence thad been given in the form of a promissory note and a letter which had not been mentioned by Mr. Davies. Thie evidence substan. ated the fact that the $3,000 was appropriated by Mr, Lopes.
Accused was committed for trial and bail of G.81,000 was allowed.
