Q:63
I also lent $1,500 in June, $1,600 in August. They repaid the $3,000 and asked for another loan of the same amount next day. They have had about $7,000 in all. The whole
of my life's savings.
I had no security. They were to pay 5% interest. How did you come to lend so large a sum? There was the "Ling Nam" lying there and I thought it was all straight. I wanted to help Hodge. I depended on Wong Fung Sek. If I had realized that they owed the Court so much I should never have lent it. I
had no idea till recently.
Hodge appears to have given cheques in your favour for $767.25 on 18.3.25, $102.25 on 4.12.25 and $186026+ $739.25 on 13.4.26. What explanation?
All except the $102.25 would be "Ling Nạm" disbursements. Of the $102.25 I know nothing.
(This is borne out by entries in "Ling Nam" statement as to wages paid.)
Were cheques for payment into Court ever
made out to you?
This was sometimes done by Solicitors. The cheques would always be paid into Court.
Do you know whether the shroff, So Yuet Tai, had any connection with the Auctioneering & Brokering
Co. Ltd.?
