326.
on 22nd November 1880. The daylight, defendants and the women and children had been in our home all the night previous. My home is a large house, there are 10 rooms in it. I knew all the defendants, they are relations of mine. Their names are Young Jung, Young Oi, Young Jee, Young Tak, Young Foo, Young King, Young Cheung, Young Hing Dai and the others. The others were known to our house. Young King Foo was living opposite to my house, when we saw them coming we closed the front door first and then they went to the back as they could not break down the front door. None of our party had any weapons nor did they try to defend themselves. I do not know how Young Sing Dai came by his injury.
I never heard how he met with Young Yam and Young Tan.
I have lived over 40 years in the village of Sheung Shing. The ceremony in our house lasted the whole night, we were all taking part in it. The defendants did not leave my house before Young Sing Dai's death. When I came to Hongkong after his death. My husband Yeung Wing Hong alias Yeung You did not kill him. When we ran out of the house we all ran to Hongkong together as we were afraid.
