I have no means of knowing that.
Q.
23836.
Put it another way. Did you ever find out how many
pounds of beef it took you to catch one rat?
A.
No
I'am afraid not.
A.
A.
I think it well to say thật they
had a great deal more beef than they were able to us®,
usually, because it was obtained from the Slaughter
House.
23.3
But it was paid for, and you night as well reduce
the supply.
It was not paid for from the slaughter House, so far
as I know.
They got so much, and when it was not enough, a 238 38
considerable aum was spent every year at Au Sui
Shang's in getting more, so that that shews that it
was actually insufficient what they got from the
Slaughter House.
I dont think so.

We have seen the bills, they have been before the
Commission. Quantities of beef were got not regularly,
but so many months a year from Au Sui Shang, because
the bills were brought before the Commission.
