there by noon, and I should not report them. That is the reason of my visiting the place. That is the reason of my visiting the firm, but I did not receive any money from them. I think it is a case of embezzlement.
The party that has the money in the firm, he does nothing, and he relies on these other men to do the work for him. And that Mr Leung came up to my house once or twice on the same errand, and he denied being there, and when the boat was not at the station, at the right time, he has been up to speak to me about it. The second witness said that he paid the money to Mr Leung.
Mr Leung said he did not know who paid the money to me. And the same on 22nd December. With regard to entries Nos 5, 6, 7, and 8 "Paid to No 5 District" there are three Inspectors in the District. No names are given there. It might mean anything.
Anything to add, any further remarks to make?
On the second Chung Kwong entry, I have visited the place, and asked him if he had a plan for the alterations. He said that he had none. He said that he had, but he could not produce it then. The second time I visited, he had one, and he showed it. I told him he was not allowed to make any alterations not on the plan. I did not make any remarks about the hole being illegal, because it was not open to the outer air, it opened to the kitchen. And I know nothing about a godown in his shop. That is all.
Anything more to add? Have you any witnesses to call?
My interpreter.
