of CID Shaukivan sub-division approached 24 and offered him month upon terms that protected establishments were not interfere with or that information of intended action against such establishments be leaked in advance. Lau said he in fact later handed $10,000 to Mr. Thompson. Your Honour has the evidence of r. Donnelly and Ir. Blackburn of service records of the various police officers involved and information as to dates of postings of these officers. That evidence corroborates fact that 2A arrived in Bay View in June 1971 that he was followed by 14 in July and that a little later the same month Detective: Station sergeant Chiu Tak assumed duty in Bay View.

Mr. Blackburn referred to 1 as Cecil James Cunningham in police record. rir. Chiu of Treasury has records showing payments made to 1A as .J. Cunningham 14 joint bank account. F72 is operated with Jecil James Cunningham and/or Mavis Cunningham. C.J.and/or irs. . Cunningham. aria Avan of Registration of Persons Office stated нrs. ravis Cunningham had given as her husband Cecil James Cunningham, a police officer. o on this it would appear 1A appears to have abandoned use of his third initial for all
