Q He has already told us that two or three times; after that time tell us what took place after that ? A Mann Quann say Nam Yuen accused him of telling a lie. He asked him If that was true what he tell or not— do you understand the question ? Q Yes, that is alright. Now after that ask him what took place  ? A Mann Quann told him I did not tell a lie, you are the one that is lying. MR TAYL0R: I object to this; it cannot be used as evidence against the accused. COURT: He is only describing the events that took place in the room at this particular time. MR TAYLOR: That is not evidence against the accused, I take that objection at any rate. Q You say Nam Yuen he had some talk with Mann Quann ? A Yea. Q Tell him to go on and tell us what took place ? A Mann Yuen say he did not say so, and Mann Quann asked him to take an oath before the Joss. Q Where was the Joss ? A It is outside of Mann Quann's room. Q Well, what happened then ? A Mann Quann asked Nam Yuen to take an oath before the Joss, and said You must do it. MR. TAYLOR: I suppose the one objection I have made applies to the whole of this evidence. COURT: I understand this is simply leading up; it has no bearing so far on the subject; it is simply leading up to the subject of what did occur-— Q What happened then ? A Nam Yuen cursed Mann Quann and all at once struck him a blow.
