Mr. Fitzroy said, in opening, the case, that cases of this na ture were fortunately very rare in the Colony. This case was serious in that the child wus practically baby. The evid- ence was purely circumstantial, us nobody saw what happened. and it was only from the state of the child that any conclusion could be drawn, and there was. further, a direct statement made by the defendant.

Some argument ensued at this point in regard to the statement, which, his Lordship said, even if the reading of it was clear it would not be admissible.

When they returned the child was crying and complained she was hurt. She was taken to the doctor and examined. The suggestion put forward by the Crown was that the injury was done by defendant and on this point the jury must be satisfied, without any reason- able doubt.

Evidence was then called. The girl's mother, Chlu Lee-ying, said that when she discovered her child's injury, in the presence of defer- dant, he went away. Under cross- examination by Mr. Lo, witness said defendant was in the habit of taking the girl out,

Mr. Lo: Did your child ever come back before and cry? No,

never.

Mr. Lo: Will you agree now that you made a report to the Police, because someone had ad- vised you to do so?-A suggestion to make a report to the Police was made by my husband.
