Witness: I don't know of any
punishment that can be meted out for Chinese marrying in the ordin- Sheary way if they are not Christiana. Counsel: But surely a marriage gone through in the proper way is recognised in a Court of law here. Would you say that if two Chinese were married like that it would be invalid?
