Terence McDermott went back to Hongkew Police station and was told that his brother could not be released without word from Mr. Hearne. Accordingly, Terence went to Hearne's residence in Sinza Road. Hearne held a sort of in quiry about the matter. He quos-. tioned Terence, on the pros and cons of Denis's treatment of his wife, and wound up by saying that Dems was only detained until the morning, when he would be taken before Mr. King privately. Eventually, he agreed to communicate with Hongkew Police Station providing Terence would guarantee his _brother's appearance before Mr. King on the following morning. The guarantee was readily given, and Hearne then telephoned to Honzkew. "Let this fellow McDermott go," he said, over the phone, "his brother hag guaranteed his appeatance before King. I am giving 1 letter to let him go, which he wil hand to you" The letter was handed in and' plaintiff was at once released, at about a quarter to twelve.
Counsel then read correspondence which passed between himself as piacats representative and the missioner of Police and the Municipal Council, the Council's position being that plaintiff had) been detained at the request of the British authorities, and released on the same authority.
