Li Slu-ping told the Court that the two accused lived on the floor and she went there to buy a male child. The female accused spoke to her and told her that they had a male child but it was being kept elsewhere and it could be shown to her another time. The four year old girl was then offered to

Mr. Andrewes said that it was a case of one person's word against another's and he could call Shun Mui to prove that she was there.

Mr. d'Almada retorted that it was too late now,, the case for the pro- secution having closed.

Mr. Hamilton, producing the six "deeds of presentation" found in the accused's box, asked "What about

these, do they refer to a part of your

Asked by Mr. d'Almada why she wanted to adopt another, wit-last year on behalf of a friend. ness said that she did not intend to adopt any. Some time ago her small boy was kidnapped and when she heard from the Un-long man that the accused sold chil- dren, she decided to do some spy- ing in the hope of recovering her

own son.*

The woman in the witness box also said that Li Siu-ping went to their house only once and that was on the date of their arrest. She did not know what Li Slu-ping came for because she did not speak to her. She (accused) certainly never offer ed to sell the girl to LI Stu-ping.
