Ward:-
On the 10th December 1905, he says he paid me, or at least he gave me $10 for employing coolies. I was then on No 9 District, and there was another Inspector in No 10 District.
The Chairman:-
Why it was, I suppose the question you want to put is, written down No 10 District when at that time you were on No 9 District.
Ward:-
The man who makes the entries in the book is not the man who pays the money, and he may have made a mistake. On the 4th February, Sir, he also says he gave me $10 on 10 District, when I was in No 9 District. I was then in No 9 District, Sir.
The Chairman:-
Ask him about that.
Mr Chatham:-
We go by what Leung In says. He says to put down what District, and it is put down in that District. Any more questions, Mr Ward?
Ward:-
No.
Mr Thomson:-
Did this man, Leung In, ever produce anything in the shape of a receipt that they had actually paid over this money?
The Chairman:-
There were no receipts.
Mr Thomson:-
Did you ever see the money actually paid over yourself?
Ward:-
He paid on the 3rd September himself.
Witness retires.
