| Jury | ||
| There were two types of jurors in Hong Kong at the time, namely: special jurors and common jurors. Provisions in article 4 of the Ordinance #7 of 1845, “An Ordinance for the Regulation of Jurors and Juries”, described the qualifications of a special juror: "... who shall be an esquire or person of higher degree, or who shall carry on the trade or business of a banker or merchant..." Put simply, special jurors were eminent residents, and the common jurors were by and large their employees. A special jury only became available if at least one side of the court case made an application to the court and accordingly paid for the expenses of the special jury. In the Witchill case, I believe, the prosecution applied and paid for the special jury. The jurors are listed according to the order written in the story titled “The Police Scandal” published in the August 4, 1897 issue of the Hong Kong Telegraph. Whether or not the order in which the names were written has any significance is unknown. | ||

IV. Sarasota Herald-Tribune, February 14, 1944, p.4, Charlie Chaplin To Surrender On Mann Act
Charlie Chaplin, who once shuffled into the hearts of moviegoers on flapping feet and springy cane, is scheduled to surrender to the United States marshal today to be fingerprinted and booked on Mann act and conspiracy charges. The comedian's attorney, Jerry Giesler, announced that Chaplin would appear in response to the indictments voted last week by the federal grand jury which investigated complaints of Joan Berry, 24, who accuses him of fathering her 4-month-old daughter. Also expected to surrender were several of the six other defendants accused with the 54-years-old actor of conspiring to deprive the young film aspirant of her constitutional rights after her arrest on a vagrancy charge in nearby Beverly Hills a year ago last month. Alleged Intimidation. It is alleged that she was intimidated into leaving California through suspension of a police court sentence.
The Man act allegation – connected with the asserted conspiracy – contend that Chaplin transported Miss Berry to New York in October, 1942, with intent to have her “engaged in illicit sex relations with him,” and that he later return her here.
Co-defendants with Chaplin in the conspiracy indictments are City Judge Charles Griffin of Beverly Hills; Capt. W.W. White, Lt. Claude Marple and Matron Jessie Billie Reno, of the Beverly Hills police department; Robert Arden, radio commentator, and Thomas Wells Durrant, at various times an employee of film studios.

VI. Hong Kong Daily Press, January 18, 1933, p.12, Dealings with Moneylenders, R.G. Witchell in Bankruptcy, Yesterday's Public Examination
The Chief Justice, Sir Joseph Kemp, sitting in Bankruptcy proceedings at the Supreme Court yesterday, declared the public examination closed of Mr. Robert George Witchell, a Government clerk, residing at the Airlie Hotel. The question of installments to be paid by the debtors was put back for further consideration.... Wife's Liabilities In December 1930, he went to Shanghai to be married. He borrowed $400 from Mahan Singh, for which he signed for $800, for fares to Shanghai and marriage expenses. Prior to that date he had borrowed $150 to send to his fiancee in Shanghai. He returned to the Colony and in anticipation of his wife joining him rented a house in Kowloon Tong at $100 a month. For furnishings he borrowed $160. His wife had incurred certain liabilities in Shanghai and stated that she could not come down to Hong Kong until they were settled. He borrowed another $700 of which he sent $600 to Shanghai and kept the other $100 for expenses. His wife came to the Colony in March and they lived together in Kowloon Tong until about August, 1931. His expenses in Kowloon Tong were more than he could meet and his general scale of living was beyond his means. He moved then to a boarding house.
Since 1931, debtor has lived in several boarding houses paying $250 in one place and $180 in another. At present he was paying $175 for his wife and himself at the Airlie Hotel. Mr. Witchell further said that he was obtaining a separation from his wife and he would have to pay her $100 a month and he would require $120 a month for his own expenses. Extravagance Debtor said that since leaving his house in Kowloon Tong he borrowed further monies from Mahan Singh and Amrik Singh.
The Official Receiver: The reason of your bankruptcy is that you incurred these debts to meet your wife's debts and that you have rather extravagant in living on a scale which was not justified? Debtor: Not exactly that. My salary is not big and all the time I have been paying rather interest. But your house in Kowloon Tong was rather expensive? - It was, under the circumstance. What would estimate your monthly expenses besides your board and lodging? About $30 a month. That leaves you $140 a month? - Yes. Witness said his next increment would be in April and it would be £15. Alleged Tale to a Money-lender. Mr. M.A. Silva, for Mahan Singh, a creditor: When you obtained these loans didn't you get them on the representations that you wanted to put them into certain property in Macao? - Debtor: No. Didn't you tell Mahan Singh that you wanted the money to set up a brewery in Macao? - I do not remember that. If Mahan Singh can prove that this money was got for this purpose, you have got the money on misrepresentation – I told him it was for the expenses of my marriage in Shanghai. I have no brewery in Macao. Answering another Indian money-lender credit, Witchell stated that the $500 was borrowed from him in respect of a small distillery of his wife's in Macao. The loan was for setting up the concern.
