I bad previously heard that Mrs Lam and the defendant were at Shau-ki-wan and that the former wanted a husband, and as was on the look out for a wife I went in to have a look at her. I knew that the defendant was a relation of Mr Lam's, so I asked her how much Mrs Lam would require to accept me as her husband. The defendant asid $22 to pay her debts, and house rent. Mra Lam joined in and sald she wanted the money to pay her debts. I then asked Mrs Lam if she was willing to marry me, and aho agreed. The defendant asked $24, but agreed to take $22 after some bargaining. I bargained with the defendant because I know she was a seller of me. By this I mean a go-between.
