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. Taylor: 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 Yes.

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.
