CRIMINAL SESSIONS.
THE STORY OF A VILLAGE FEUD.
GIRL'S PATHETIC APPEAL.
They killed my father; is not this Court going to redress his grievances ↑ " said the young daughter of the man killed at Taikiu Village, New Territories, bursting into soba under the cross-examina- Bon of Counsel, when the manslaughter charge against three Chinese was" con- tinued at the Criminal Sessions, yester- day before Mr. Justice Wood.
Witness was cross-examined during the morning bearing by Mr. C. G. Alabaster, K.C., who is defending the three pri
soners.
Witness vigorously denied that hoc inther had led some men of the Village in an attack on the prisoners when he met his death. Counsel suggested that what happened was that two men from Wong Chan pursued three women who had been gathering pig, Todder from a adi field; that deceased and a number of other men from Taikin went out and attacked them, and has one of the pri soners had then seized the spear that the decensed held and had laid about him in self-defence.
This the witness denied, and said that there was a considerable body of man from Wong Chau, all of whom were armed. Four of them attacked her father when he remonstrated with them for chasing the women.
In reply to further questions, witness denied that the spear was one her father kept as a relic of the days before the establishing of police stations in the New Territories and when villagers had to defend themselves. Her father was not armed at the time he was attacked.
Mr. Alabaster I put it to you that, because they bave killed your father, you want someone from Wong Chau villag to suffer,
Witness burst into tears and between sebs said: They have killed my father, but is not the Court going to redress his grievances ?
The dead man's wife was the next to give evidence and told the same story as her daughter. She denied that her husband had the spear in his possession.
Some men from the village of Taikiu also gave evidence, and this closed the case for the prosecution,
After briefy outlining the defence, Mr. Alabaster called the first prisoner who said that on the day in question, he and the second prisoner were employed in their fields when they saw some wonen from the village of Taikic picking grass in the fields and they chased them. The third prisoner was not with them. On reaching the Taikin village, witness and his fellow-villager were met by the deceased, armed with a spear, at the head of about terr men. Witness and his friend fled, and the Taikiu villagers followed them. Eventually they gave up the chase, but the deceased continued to follow them, and catching them up, he tried to stab one of them A struggle ensued, in the course of which he received his death wound.
At this stagé, the hearing was adjourn. ed until to-day.
