Four females had the Court in a dilemma at Kowloon Magistracy yesterday when Fung Siu-chi (40) and her daughter, Siu Ngor (24) appeared before Mr. Latimer on a charge of maliciously damaging a jacket belonging to 15- year-old Ng Yin,
Both defendants, their counsel Mr. Hon said, would swear be fore the "Goddess of Mercy" that they did not cut the jacket,
Witness Lee Mo.fan and her maidservant, complainant, look up Mr. Hon'a challenge to swear together with defendants that they did cut the jocket.
It is only a test of verneity, sir, and we would not carry it out." Mr. Hon said, adding that Ince witnesses was prepared to swear he would also be prepar id to accept that.
It all started with second de fandant "throwing"! dirty water on Ng Yin's trousers while the latter was washing kitchen utensils.
Ng reported the matter to Police, who told them not to cause any more trouble, Later Ng rip ried again that defen- dants had

Ng said that when they got back from the Police station fter she reported about the first Incident, Fung refused to let her hang her clothes in the corridor, threatening to cut them if Ng tld so.
Fung was then alleged to hav cut her jacket with scissors and Neor was alleged to have anid: "That is not encugh. Cut them more."

Ng added that defendants and mistress are not on good terms. Lee said that defendants were trying to evict her. They had been frequently quarrelling with her maid in the kitchen.
This nonsense has got to be st ̈pped. Principal tenants are not entitled to evict her sub- tenants, nor to collect more, And they are not entitled to make life unpleasant to sub.tenants,' Mr. Lailmer said when he bound
