"I know nothing about it." I then said, "Your honour, give me permission to send to my house for something to eat, I have not eaten anything for several days." He replied," I will not give you permission," and in English "I don't care if yon die." I asked also permission to be allowed to see my wife, and he refused.
In the afternoon I was taken out again before Mr. May and Mr. Ewens, solicitor. Mr. Ewens said he was employed by my wife to inquire why I was arrested. Mr. Ewen's inter- preter, Sin Tak-fau, said "If you know anything about Mr. Corcoran receiving bribes, speak out and the Governor may let you off, if not, you will be banished." I said to Mr. Ewens "Then banish me soon, for I have nothing but prison fare to eat here. I have not eaten anything for days."
I was detained in Gaol six days, 15th to 21st July, and during that time was shown no banishment order. On the 21st July I was banished. I afterwards went to reside at Sham Shui Po in Chinese territory on the borders of British Kowloon. On or about the 10th of August, Mr. May visited me there. He said "You know about Mr. Corcoran receiving bribes and also Inspector Stanton and others. If you will tell me what you know, I will allow you to return to Hongkong and reinstate you in the Police." I said, "I do not know anything about it." He said "If you will not tell me, I will write to the Kowloon Mandarin and request him not to allow you to reside here." I said "I do not know, how can I tell ?" He said, "Think the matter over, I will come to see you again." I replied, "If it is about gambling matters you need not come. I know nothing about it." He said, "You are a Chinaman and they are foreign devils. Why is it you protect them? You are truly a fool." He then left, and I left Sham Shui Po next day,
