2 suppressing gambling. Pok-kop lottery gambling which had existed almost as long as the Colony was expressed in a few days. Li-z-fa, another gambling which for years had caused incalculable misery, because of women and children as well as men, being able to invest in it twice a day, was also after a few months totally suppressed. The thai-sing lottery, although not warrant against houses in which it was almost so, and nearly this kind of gambling was carried on, was taken, but by me, and fines amounting to thousands of dollars were imposed on the gamblers paid by the houses in which gambling for men and women was carried on at night. There, so far as I know, all were taken out by myself and European and Chinese detectives with a few assistants in plain clothes. Myself and the other detectives also took the most active part in suppressing all other kinds of gambling until there was little gambling to be found. In 1873, you told me you considered that much of the detectives' time was taken up arresting and assisting Inspectors in arresting gamblers, that you did not wish me to occupy myself in that way, and that I was to tell all the detectives your wishes. I told them this, and at the same time placed in the Detectives' Office at the district of each Inspector a notice regarding gambling.
