Abstract
On October 1, 1868 three Chinese men
appeared before His Honour, Judge
Forbes at the Castlemaine County Court in
Victoria. One Goon Cheum was the
plaintiff in ‘an action to recover the value
of Chinese Temple taken down by the defendants’,
namely Hoa Ah Pang and Laong
Oun Hung ... What I will present takes the form
of microhistory, but perhaps cases such as
this enable us to ground our conclusions
about cross-cultural encounters in the
minutiae of quotidian experience and historical
specificity.
