I suggest that it is possible for a Chinaman to bring his 1634
book to a Government office and a Chinese clerk might write
up the Bill from that book direct ?

Q: You said you did not think it possible because you were
moving about constantly and you would see if it was done?
A: Yes, but we are not always moving back and forwards and it
is possible it might be done.

That contradicts what you said. It is possible ?

A: Yes, it is possible but I don't think it is probable. That
is what I should have said.
16498- Well, in the event of a Chinese clerk translating the Bills 1642

from Chinese to English would the Chinese originals be
attached to the translation ?
th
I always see the Bills in English, and Chinese. The bill
is
not attached. If I want to see the Bill at any time I would
of course get it.
Will you accept a Chinese translation even if you know it is 1643
made out by one of your clerks ?
I frequently have done so. To the Bills there is attached
the order which has been signed by the Inspector saying that
30 many articles have been received. The account is checked
by a clerk named Mr Lo Nan Kai.
164898-
He is your senior clerk ?
1644
A: Yes, senior Chinese clerk, and Mr Bowen Rowlands to see they coincide with the contract price. Having got from the Inspec -tor practically a certificate saying that so many articles have been received and the price of each article has been checked by Mr Lo Man Kai and Hr Bowen Rowlands 1 accept the Bill as being correct.
