own claws or to the watchman of his own village. The Magistrate came the same day, looked at the body of Kwan Shap Yat and went away.
10. That was the only report he made to any Chinese Official or Justice of the Peace. In respect of the robbery, the Suntate Magistrate did not examine witnesses and Kwan Shap Yat says that he did not speak to the Magistrate; afterwards he said that the only words he spoke to the Magistrate were "Your Worship, redress wrongs: petition." He did not send any complaint to any Mandarin.

12. The Justices sent for him on the 20th June. They did not tell him that they had heard from Li Joi in Hongkong with witnesses. He had not spoken to the Justices with reference to this robbery before the 20th June, and that he wanted to see them.
13. With respect to Ng Mi-fin's evidence, it is strange to say the least that his brother should have taken him to the Justices to be reprimanded for his misdeeds. He says, "I am not a member of the band now." The Justices "reprimanded my brother, and my brother came down upon me last year. He took me to the Justices, and they compelled me to be a good man." He says he saw the Justice My Lenny Ming that day, nor on the 21st June, that he had never spoken to him before, nor had Ng Keying Ming spoken to him. He says "The Justice told me that Ching Sam had been arrested in Hongkong and that I was to come down and identify him. The Justice knew I was a robber, and that my head ought to be cut off."
The question may be fairly asked, how did the Magistrate know that Ng Mi-fing could identify Ching Sam?
