xxd. Court.
I had one other Police officer with me. In the police Court I said I went with one man only. I never mentioned "officers" in the plural. I handcuffed accused because I was afraid he would resist. I did not instruct the handcuffing of the other two.
xd. Chen.
When arresting a man I tell him the crime of which he is suspected, telling him the place. I would tell him the person if I knew the person. I did not know the name of the injured man at that time. The informer did not tell me the name of the injured man. I did not get my information from the station but from the informer. I know that a man was wanted for wounding in Chinese St. I did not mention any name to accused when I charged him.
Close of case for Crown.
Accused having had alternatives explained to him elects to give evidence on oath.
