Mr Shelton dccper:-

Well, we call him labourer, but I dont know how it

would be entered in the books, 85.

Х

If you want my opinion, I can tell you, you are a liar,

I should say so too. You are just trifling with this 5407

Commission, and you are telling lies. Do you understand

sufficient English ?

No, no I dont think.

The way he is behaving is insulting.

His manner here is insulting, to the Commission.

(To the witness) Now, you shut up, now.

He ought not to be so insolent in his manner. He is

1 aughing and jeering in such a manner, that if he had a

Mandarin in the Chair here, in China, he would not dare

to so insult him.

I beg you to excuse me. I do not understand the customs.

5408 We will excuse the custome, if you will tell the truth,

because you have not been telling the truth.
