Fialatiff did tell Mrs Goulbourn that I sold girls. I was not angry. I did not sell girls, so had no cause to be angry. I told Mrs. Goulbourn because he had behaved badly to the girl and I did not like it and had to reward him. He first said I sold the girl, and then I said that If he had not said it, I would not have sald what I did to Mrs. Goalboure. I told Mrs. Goulboum several shonths after the affair. don't know how many. At the Police Court I said what happened was done by Minhinnett in the 4th or 5th moon, three years before. 1 went by the Chinese reckoning in giving the time from when the child was given back to the mother.

But that has nothing to do with this case, I did produce a pair of drawers In that case to the doctor-Doctor Jordan. But it has sathing to do with this case at all. I don't remember being sued by the "boy" at that time for $13. I was not in the Police Court when Dr. Jordan ave his evidence. That case has nothing to do with this case.

Re-examined-I don't remember soother ledger. When I went to the office I had charge of the ledger produced. There may have been other ledgers.

To his Lordship—I can't say whether there was another ledger kept prior to November, 1888.

At this point the defendant called for Wong A Ngan. "The announcement of this woman's. name caused quite a sensation in Court,

Wang A Ngan was then declared.

I came back here with the last voyage of the Fallas. I don't remember the date. I know the plaintiff. I lived-with-him-six years formerly, as "kept evidence at the Police Court. On that occasion woman." In September of last year I gave I stated the truth.

I didn't go out at 8 o'clock in the morning, it was about tiffin time. I did not take a pair of blood-stained trousers to show them. I did not go to Mr. Webker's office. . I don't know where Mr. Webber's office is.

To his lordship-I did not go to any lawyer's office and see a statement written out.

Continuing I know Mr. Webber by sight. 1 waw him in the Witness Room lo tais Court,

To his lordship I did not go to Webber's office at all. It is only falsely accusing.

Continuing Minhinnett did not bring Mr. Webber to my house in St. Francis Street "at, night. He never brought him there at night. He came there once or twice during the day,

To his Lordship-It is not correct that Min- hinnett took out jewellery and gave me ll at night la Webber's presence. There was no such giving of jewellery, or visit of Webber, or child dragged out by her hair,

Asked by his Lordship if she was speaking the truth from her heart, apart from anything which she might have been told to say, witness | said—"I am telling the truth,"

Continuing I went to Amoy of my own free will last year. I went because aabamed of the Police Court affair. I was not in hiding before I left. I was then living at Mr. Rauch's. I left my Wanchai residence, because I didn't want it any more after the case. My waiting woman- went to Amoy first. I lived at Rauch's place after leaving Wanchal I lived on the first Bloor of Mr. Rauch's house. When I went on the Namoa I did not intend to go away. I did not go on shore because the police were looking for me. (Handed a stal). The seal produced is Minhinnett's. It was not given to Mr. Webber In my presence. I have seen other jewellery bearing the same crest as this seal. Some people gave plaintiff a pawn-ticket to go and redeem it. I don't know when it was redeamed. The shop was in the centre of the city.

Re-examined-I sald just now that I had no intention of going in the Nanda. I did not take my baggage on board. Only took the letter on board

of all he knew. I have that statement. He has Ilved with me ever since his return. The felter of 3rd April never left my hands from the time I received it. The article of 3rd August 1800 was written by Mr. Waid. With reference to the conspiracy case I took no trouble to call witnesses. Mr. Ward called Mrs. Goulbourn. I only called Mr. Rodyk and that was because he could swear to the paper banded to the Registrar General. He was sitting next to me la Court and said......*** "Don't call me. There's no gase." I believe that's all he said at the time. I came back from Shanghai only three days before the trial.

Continuing have never had an unkind word with Minhinnett in my life. I have no malico or ill-will towards Minhinnett. After Mr. Wabber left the colony there was an amount due plaintiff-$5,000 was mine, $1,300 was Webber's. The $5,000 was paid by me before the article was published. It was stated by Mr. Francis in opening that I wrote the article to drive plaintiff out of the colony. That is not so. I went to Amay for the express purpose of getting the woman ANgan down for this trial, but she had been got down by the other side about two days before. Mr. Rauch went up to Amoy for her. He was, I believe, sent up by the other side. I was told by one of the Douglas captains that to the best of his belief A Fat is still in Amoy.

After the mid-day adjournment, Mr. Fraser-Smith said that with reference to the faint promissory note the first application was made by Mesure, Dennys and Mossop on behalf of Teang King. They threatened legal proceedings. I wrote back that I had nothing to do with it. The note was then re-transferred from Tuang King to Minhinnett. When Mr. Webber left the colony the plafatif_institated legal proceedings against mei

Mr. Francis How did you allow Webber to make such statements as he did de dene esse?

Defendant-I did allow it. His statements seemed to me to be essentially correct. There were some discrepancies in the detalls,

To his lordship-My Intelligence may have failed to recognise that the statements were essentially different. That is my fault if I falled to do so. I am in a very weak state of health, and I should not be here at all by rights.

His Lordship-You understand you are entitled to my protection and that is why I ask you for any explanation you wish to make.

Witness-Thank you, my lord. When I examined Mr. Webber, I did not think that there was any essential difference between Mr. Webber's evidence de bent erre and the stató-, ment made on board the steamer.**
