For the first 2 days when I appeared in Court my heart was palpitating all the time but today I feel better.

How is it your unfamiliarity with Court procedure caused you to tell a lie?

I did not understand. I misheard the question so I gave

the wrong answer.

It was not unfamiliarity with Court procedure but deafness that caused you to tell this lic?

I did not quite understand.

What connection does that have with Court procedure?

Jurely telling a lie indicates unfamiliarity with truth or falsehood and not with Court procedure?

Correct.

This lie had no connection with unfamiliarity with Court procedure?

A.

Yes.

Why did you tell this lie

By

one reason you gave was

unfamiliarity with Court procedure?

I did not lie.

of the time, at

When I was asked question as what I did most

first I did not remember my other duties

when I was questioned I remembered.

It was the question put to you by my learned friend which confused you?

Not so.

Or was it the form of his question which led to this apparent

lie?

I don't quite understand your question. I don't know how to

answer.

If my learned friend asked you "were your only duties in Kowloon City answering telephone" and you answored ves" that would be a lie but if he asked you if your duties were mainly answering telephone and your answer is "yes" that

would not be a lie?

I still do not understand what is considered right and what is considered wrong.
