Rather Lucky.

The female defendant Lo Look kwu, i turned out, is a concubine of the girl's father, and whom she is accustomed to regard' #3 her mother, although her natural mother is still living.

Mr. Hin-shing Lo who is appear- ing for this woman, yesterday in cross-examination put it to tho principal witness that he knew that she and her people had gone to the trouble of looking up hita antece- dents and family connexions after receiving his proposal of marriage.

Leung replied that he was not aware of such inquiries, but had told them that he was a marriad man with a kit-fat wife, and two children.

Leung further said that he was aware of the Chinese custom which gave the parents-in-law control of the girl even after she had been widowed, and explained that the reason why he had not gone to the parents-in-law in this case was that he was assured by Lo Look-kwu that she had special powers.

Mr. Wynno-Jones: Did you really believe that? Here is a girl, quite good-looking, a widow, coming from Foochow, with thousands of dollars, under the control of some woman who says she is her own, for you to keep as a concubine, free, and all you have to do la to buy her a little gift of $200. You really thought it all right?

Witness, after some hesitation, repiled that he rather thought he was lucky.

His Worship: Well, I would have thought you would be lucky.

Girl's Evidence.

Chan Yuk-chan, the girl in ques- Lian, who was called by the Police as one of their witnessce, told the Court that she was 21 years of age and unmarried. Sho identified the defendant Man Foo as a man she got to know through her step- mother, and anw on subsequent oc- casious when she went to hand him monies she received from Leung.

Leung was introduced to her un one of these occasions as a suitor for her hand in marriage, and she had been given to under- stand that the proposal was in the nature of a kit-fat union.

Replying to his Worship, she ad- mitted that she was rather happy over the fact of having been be trothed and did not raise any objection to landing the various sums to Man Foo upon his request. She had, however thought it rather atrange that the last sum of $290 was not given to her step-mother. Explaining the purpose of this $200, she said she had been in- structed by the defendants to say that it was required for the wor- ship of the spirit of "her husband in a former existence".

Asked how she could have bellev- ed in such an idea, she said she

His Worship: Strikes me 'overy body in this case has been reading novels.

Indicating the complainant, his Worship asked the girl if she was still prepared to marry him.

She replied in the affirmative, and in reply, to another question said that even now she was still prepared to marry him.

His Worship, to Leung: There is your chance. (Laughter),
