$15 means that on the 1st day of this year I paid to Sham Ngaw $15.00 to be handed to Wan Shing the sum of $15.00. Tram Ngaw whose quarters are near End Temple is the head district watchman.
At the same rate I have been paying Wan Shing from the time the house was opened, that is for the last four or five years.
