1. The applicant had pleaded not guilty before His Honour Deputy Judge Tallentire to a charge of being a member of the crew of a ship which entered Hong Kong with unauthorised entrants on board. After the prosecution witnesses and the applicant had given evidence at the trial, his counsel conceded in his final submission that, in the light of the evidence of the prosecution witness who kept observation on the applicant's sampan, the applicant was technically guilty of the offence charged.
