On September 11 the company in Hongkong received" information that a lady was arriving from Shanghai with printed matter for the local branch. As was usual the complainant, together with various fokls, went to meet the steamer and this lady in particular. When the lady was mct she handed over the literature to the complainant who in turn handed it to one of the fokis and the party went down on to the wharf.
In accordance with what might be called a general practice or custom the things were placed alongside the wharf for examination before they were transferred to a junk or boat to be taken to Hongkong.
Continuing, Mr. Lo said that the party was followed by Revenue Officer No. 73, who was the defen dant in the case and he asked the complainant for some tea money, The complainant said that he saw no reason. why he should give the defendant any money and refused to do so. He told the defendant that he could search the luggage, which was done.
