(Witness aside) Haw Fat Chung: having been duly called as witness on behalf of the Prosecution -
Court: All the witnesses should be put in one room. Now regarding this witness we should find out first which is the most solemn oath for these witnesses. It may be that one witness would consider the bible the most solemn and another the breaking of the saucer and perhaps the Chicken oath.
Mr. Taylor: We are entitled to have the roost binding form of oath, and in fact we might be entitled to have both administered.
Court: On the other hand Mr. Taylor if the witnesses states one form of oath is the most binding it might be that another form would be a mere mockery to him, and something which would have no particular meaning. I want to take the form that is the most binding.
Mr. Taylor: That is quite true. The court always do but suppose a witness tells a lie about that - then I say -
