ACCUSED'S DENIALS

Woo Jui-ling was called and denied all knowledge of the affair, but later admitted that he paid the wharf tally clerk $660 of the 8720 which he had received on the sale of the goods. The remaining $60 was his commission. He really did not know the goods were stolen, Bang having told him that he had*bought them from auction.

Dzung Tsz-wha told the Court that, during the course of a conversation at a tea shop with Woo, whose acquaintance he had made, the latter had told him that he had two cases of cloth for sale on behalf of a customer aid asked witness if he could dispose of them for him. Witness asked for samples and_ prices, and replied that the cloth was 86 per roll and told him to go to the Kiukiang Road Jetty on June 25, between 6 and 7 p.m. where he could see the goods. This he did, with the result that the two cases of cloth were moved\to his home. He later sold the goods and handed the money to Woo.
