EVIDENCE OF JOSEPH REDMAN REVENUE OFFICER
SWORN
My name is Joseph Redman and I am a Revenue
GR
Officer. I am officer in charge of four units whose auty
is to search vessels clearing from the port for proni-
bited exports and unmanifested cargo. The preliminary
search would normally take place at about 2 3 hours
before the departure of a River Steamer. I visited tne
"Kwong Tung" for the first time x at about 3.30 P.M.
on Saturday the 31st January, 1948. I arranged for the
complete and detailed search of the "Kwong Tung" for
7.0 P.M. on the same day. When carrying out the examina-
tion of passengers baggage my duty is to use my own
opinion as to whether they have more than their personal
belongings and at the same time to look out for prohi-
bited exports. If during the course of my inspection,
I discovered any hazardous goods being carried as
passengers' baggage I would immediately order them to be
demoved on to the whart.
I did not visit the "Kwong Tung" at 7.0 P M., but
I detailed my Senior special grade Chinese Revenue
Officer for that purpose.
My visit at 3.30 P.M. was concerned with
passengers cabins and crews quarters.
The foregoing is a true
record of the evidence I have given.
