The Judge:The procedure of this court is based on the Amer- ican and British laws.

Mr. Martin:In no court in England would such a question be allowed to be put to the accus- ed by counsel.

Mr. Tuang:-I know that it is not allowed in British and Amer- ican courts, but it is allowed here. I am engaged by the Court and not by the accused.

Mr. Martin: I quite appre- ciate that, but you should not create a defence. You asked the accused if he made the statement| because he was beaten..

Counsel-But I had no idea to create this evidence. It is just a free question which the accused replied to.

Accused: When I was taken from this court to the police sta- tion, a detective told me that I had better help them and then they would give me good food during the period of remand otherwise they would torture me by electricity and beat me with whips. They told me that part of deceased's clothes were found in my house. I was asked to Eign a statement, but I could not of the hold my hand while I wrote. He write and sò a detective had to
