The validity of a Chineso marrlage certificate was questioned by Mr. H. R. Butters at the Central Magis- tracy yesterday, when the hearing of a stimmons against Yeung Shlu-ylck, charged with persistent crucity to hla wife. Leung Sou-yin, was heard. Mr. Alfred S. K, Lau was present for the complainant, and said that Mr. Peter Sin would not be appearing for the defendant as no further Instructions had been received.

The partica were married December 20, 1034, according to Chinese custom, at the South China Athletic Association, said Mr. Lat. They lived together happily until about a year ago, when it is stated the defendant, who is a well-known football player, became attracted by a number of girls. This was resents ed by the wife, and from then on, relations became rather strained.

On November 11 complainant moved Warren Street, and stayed with defendant's family until June 16. An argument in the house on June 14 resulted in complainant being struck and driven from the house, causing injuries to her hand and body. The next morning, com- plainant went to see a doctor, and later reported the molter to the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs.

Continuing, Mr. Lau said the com- plainant had always been prepared to agree to an amicable settlement, and on Wednesday afternoon had a meeting where certain terms for a settlement had been made by defendant's solleltor. These terms were later denied by defen- dant.

After complainant's sister given evidence, the validity of the marriage certificate was questioned by the Magistrate, who said it was an important point in the case, and it would be necessary for it to be proved by an expert on Chinese law and customs.
