According to Inspector Marks, who prosecuted the assailant be- fore Mr. T. S: Whyte Smith at the Kowloon Magistracy this mornings the complainant was at fault in the first place for calling at the girl's house against the father's wishes at 2 o'clock in the morning
It was further evealed that the complainant was a married man and was followed to the defen- dant's house by his wife..
His Worship remarked to the complainant that he seemed to be a bad man, the complainant reply- ing that the girl's mother was with them all the time.
