I was not present myself. Tang Chu Shan made a search in Ha Tsun for Tang Cheung,
(sd) Tang Chek Ting.
Tai Po 11 May 1899.
Tang Chekring. States
Tang Po Lung is a man of good character. Tang Po Shan is also a teacher. As I have stated. They kept the account in the books 21 and 22. They were employed by the eldest of Ha Tsun. They had nothing to do with the resistance offered to the British. As to my son, A Ngai, people say he was at the Meeting House at Un Long when Tang Cheung was murdered.
I did not see Tang Chu Shan looking for Tang Cheung. The villagers said he was looking for his.
The wife of the murdered man also told me. The ringleader in Ping Shan were Tang I Yau and Tang Fong Hing; at Un Long, Ng Ki Cheung and Ng Fung Cheung; at Kam Tin, Tang Kok Lan and Tang Chuk San; in Pat Heung, Tang Fung; in Lung Kwet Tau, Tang Chuk Shek; in Cha Hang, Man Cham Tsun.
