man of his tribe. for the recovery of $6O,

in behalf of the defendent, Tor passage
for hersolf and two companions from Ma
rysville to San Francisco. During the
nrogress of the trial it was proposed that
,be test of the Chinese oath be brought
into requisition. The idea is as follows:
Two live roosters are presented, and the
parties each take the oath, and at the
same time cut off the head of the fowl be-
fore them. The one who hesitates is ac-
knowledged to be in fault This manner
of oath is considered to be most sacred,
and a Chinaman would slave cut his
own throat. as that OF fowl; that is, II
, guilty. If, under these circumstances, ht
swears falsely, he is cut off from his en-
, tire tribe. The roosters were brought IN
a to court, and the girl.took the knife
: The room was crowded with Chinese
: and as she stood over the fowl, they a
s stared at her with as much interest as
e she was about to be guillotined. In
o oath was being administered, and asf
e struck. Several of her friends spran
!. forward to prevent her, as they evident
er thought her guilty and about to swe,,
ii falsely, but they were TOO late, as =
