Jeremiah McCarthy being duly sworn on oath deposeth and saith:
Yesterday the mother of the child, Mary Gowian, complained that a Chinaman had assaulted her, Mary Gowian. I arrested the prisoner Ah Gah and in his presence the child told me, he Ah Gah had made her [hurt?]. after I arrested the prisoner he said "I want to get my hat" and asked me to let go his tail and he would come quickly or words to that effect.
