Docks knew I should have to pay a large amount Hagkawy. on March 3th
You gave a specimen of your signs ture on that occasion at the International Bank. Was that the only interview you had there I believe it was.
You had not the remotest idea that you' were using the Company's resources for your own necessities I had no idea on March 24th:
Why on March 25th did you transfer a large number of securities from the Char. tered Bank into the International Bank -I did so for safe keeping.
Were there deposited on March 28th, the following scrip: 5 Hongkong banks, 100 Humphrey's estates, 900 Hongkong trams,-Yes
1
And had these not been handed to the Company by one of the compradore's guaruntors In other words were they not the Company's scrip Yes.
Can you explain why, when they were in the name of Getz Brea, you took them out of the Chartered Bank
Accused gave a long explanation, and said he took them out for the purpose of delivering some of them to Mr. Wong, the compradore's guarantor, who would give scrip in exchange. From time to time Mr. Wong used to make exchanges of this nature, and as the International "round the corner" from Bank was only the office, he (Atherley placed them there, for safe keeping. Prior to taking them from the Chartered Bank he had some dificulty in making exchanges for Mr. Wong. The documents were deposited in this bank prior to his coming to Hongkong and he had instructions from the bend office in San Francisco to withdraw them They were then deposited in the Bank of Asia, and when that closed they wero re-transfered to the Chartered Bank. The International Bank would not take thear without an account, and after be had opened one, he traneferred the scrip. Mr. Jenkin: And you transfered that block of shares on March 25th 1-Yes, so that I might exchange some with Mr. Wong-
Was it necessary to put them into your bank for that purpose, or do you suggest that it was because the International Bank was just round the corner-No.
Were they safer in the International Bank that in the Chartered Bank -No.
Replying to His Lordship, accused said that he handed them over to Mr. Wong without having them replaced at once. "He further stated that he handed all the receipts for the securities to Mr. Kelly on October 21st.
Mr. Jenkin: If a guarantor wanted to exchange one set of shares for another, do you, as a man well versed in commer- cial business, state that it was a neces- nity to change them into another bank -
No.
Accused agreed that they were in his name for many months, and said that when he changed banks he might have had to make other exchanges with Mr. Wong.
Counsel: It was an unnecessary pro- cess-It was not necessary but I had power of attorney to deposit them in any bank I liked. Had I deposited them for loans, I would have deposited them

Questioned with regard to the $1,000 which he had borrowed from a Mr. Mau Fung, he agreed that Mr. Mau was in- debted to the Company, but denied that for that reason he had given him the loan. Mr. Jenkin You put all these shares in the International Bank for the purpose. of strengthening your credit in the book! -I deny it.
His Lordship: But that would surely strengthen your credit-No, Siz.
Mr. Jenkin: Could you not overdraw on the strength of these shares in your same-Not unless I had deposited them for that reason.
His Lordship: Supposing you had over. drawn, would you have been aurprised if they took some of the shares in lieu of money-Yes, I should.
