ILL-FEELING Another brother, Yung Wing, 44, the eldest brother, also lives in the same village in a hut nearly op- posit Nos. 3 and 4 and only a short distance away. He la Dot DA friendly terms with the other mem- bers of the family. He gives his reason for this that they are al- ways asking him to lend money.. Another and 'probably stronger reason for ill-feeling is that the two accused are anxious to divide the family property but Yung Wing will not give his consent: They have occasional quartels but no- thing more serious had occurred. Yung Wing is on friendly terms with the Ip family and the latter, in turn, are on bad terms with the two accused. The Ip family alleged that the accused steal their chickens and that second accused is a pickpocket.
