I have a good mind to send him to gaol for 7746 three months. (To witness) Well, look at this account. Well, I will explain this to you. There is so much received, and so much paid out.

But still, that money is received from the inner account Tell this man, Mr Ball, that his evidence is very unsatisfactory. He is not frank with us at all. Now, he must go back with this detective and he must give him all his books • the books that Mr Lau has explained he has not got here, they are all to be brought up here, with his accountant. I will give him one more chance, and if he does not explain satisfactorily the things in his book, it will be very serious indeed for him.
What is the name of your accountant ? Wong sik.
Is he cautioned, Mr Ball ↑
