Up at our firm.
And where were those payments made by you?
In which portion of the Kung Si did you pay the money?
Why did you make those payments in the kitchen?
Kelly went in. He walked in there, and told me to give it to him.
Yes, but why did you not pay the money in the ordinary room, where you make all the payments?
My master told me not to let anyone see it.
And so you paid it in the kitchen, because there was nobody about?
Yes.
Ordinarily, I presume you make your payments where you sit, in the inner office, any money owing by your firm to anybody?
A.
Well, we sometimes take it out beyond the counter.
Why did you make entries in your book "labour, engaging coolies, odd jobs" against those entries? What is the meaning of that?
Because the master thought that giving this money to the Inspectors, it was like not to be in accordance with the law.
And so you made the entries in that particular way, for what purpose?
He directed me, my master, that is, - to make the entries in that way.
There is one more reference to books, I would like to make. I want him to corroborate this. 10th June, this year, please. Internalary 4th moon, 19th day.
