As a matter of fæt, Mrs Lei A Tai, you know this man came about with the Inspector, and when he came and
said you would hear about it later on, as a matter of fact, you thought that, although $5 was a large sum, you had better pay it rather than that this man should make trouble? They frightened you into paying $5,
when you did not want to ?
I did not know what to do about it.
22 881
They frightened you, didnt they? They frightened you,
and you had to pay it ?
I did not know in my mind what to do. I did not wish
to give. I was not satisfied in my mind about it.
You thought they would make your business mora
troublesome for you ?

My father asked a few days about it, and then she

Alright, tell them I am very much obliged to them for coming, and am sorry to give the old lady so much trouble, and you explain to her, Mr Ball, that why we have asked them to come is that we want to help them
from being troubled by those Inspectors.
