Yesterday afternoon information reached the Opium Farm to the effect that a basket of opium was about to be taken into the Yuen Fung Yuen bank qut 8 o'clock that evening and, if excise officers were not at hand in time the
drug would be distributed or removed before their arrival. Who gave this information nobody seems to know, but it is conjectured the party who contemplated that it was getting the bank into trouble by the pre- sence of illicit opium on the premises. Before the time, mentioned by the informer for the arrival of the drug, Chiel Excise Officer Bloggarth with a party of excisemen were in hiding outside the main entrance to the bank, unknown to the bank people. A few minutes before the time stated, a coolie carrying a basket over his shoulder rapped at the bank's door and, stating that he had some- thing for them, was allowed admittance.
