    Que Po Lay was found in possession of foreign exchange, including dollar checks and money orders totaling around $3,000, but failed to sell them to the Central Bank through its agents within one day of receiving them as required by Circular No. 10. However, Circular No. 10 was issued in 1949 but not published until November 1951. Que Po Lay was convicted three months before the circular was published. The Supreme Court held that for a circular to be effective, it must be published first before it can be enforced. People cannot be punished for violating a circular before it is made public. Therefore, Que Po Lay's violation under the said circular was void.
