What was the result of that investigation ↑

The result was that the tenant of the house told one tale, and the ratcatcher told another, and I could not get to the bottom of it, and in Kr Lau Chu Pak's office, I pointed out to the tenant that he ought to prosecute. He promised to do so. I never heard anymore about it. His complaint was that the ratcatcher pushed the cook, and put the rat trap down and dared them to move it. The complaint also was that the ratcatcher said he 13.305 would prosecute them, if they moved it
