3. MR GRANT: I am going to tender this for what it is worth anyway. MR READ: It does not prove that the girl is a certain age. 24 Q Do you remember what month your daughter was born in, Jick Gom.?

  A  The twenty third year of the Emperor Bon Suey, that is the Chinese record, and about the twelfth day of the eleventh month.

QUESTIONS BY MR. READ:

5 Q  Have you ever wanted her to marry anybody in the past eighteen months.?
  A  I instructed her mother to ask her whether she would like to marry or not and she said no she will like to marry at the age of twenty.
6 Q  Is that all that has ever been said to the girl about being married.?
  A  No, that is all.
7 Q  How long is it since you tried to get the accused to lend you five hundred dollars.?
  A  I never tried to borrow any money from him, but he stole over a hundred dollars from me.
8 Q  Did Jim Young refuse to lend you five hundred dollars.?
  A  No, he has not got a penny, he has not got any money.
9 Q  Who hasn’t.?
  A  The accused. He still owes me over a hundred dollar sfor four or five months, rent and board.

30 Q How old is your other daughter.?

  A I have got her birth certificate, about fifteen.
1 Q Can Annie write her name?
  A No, they cannot write because they have not been well educated. They only attended school about three or four months.
