Friday on the charge of conspiring 40 issue a certificate falsely alleging him to be @ Brazilian citizen, the British Assessor (Mr. Martin) and Magistrate Kuan decided thay he fought to go to trial before the Brazilian and Swiss Assessors, The acting Registrar, fr. Wheeler, informed the bench that had received letters from the Brazilian and Swiss Consuls, who requested that the ease should go before their respective assessors.
Mr. Martin, who at the previous hearing, stated that the Brazilian' Consul could not claim jurisdiction, said that the Mixed Court had ruled that if a foreign interest be involved in a Chinese civil ease, preference should be given to the assesser of the nationality interested to watch the case. The Consul-General of the nationality concerned should be the sole person to determine whether a foreign interest were involved. On January 17, 1913, the Senior Consul and Consul General for Belgium, wrote to Magistrate Kuan stating that would be inadmissible that a completely different ruling should be adopted on the same matter in criminal eases, so much the less the foreign interests in such ca: were nearly always of a financial or civil nature.
He had therefore decided remand accused to come before Brazilian and Swiss Assessors, said Mr. Martin, and as he was not trying the case, he would not take any responsibility with regard to bail.
The prisoner was than remanded Mr. in custody.
