Your name has been before the Commission, Mr Hudson, and consequently I have got to give you an opportimity of hearing what we know about you. In the summer of 1906, there was a good deal of difficulty in the Tai Hang village, and I understand you are Inspector of

that District ?

Have you any knowledge that there was something of

that sort ?

A.

Mr Shelton Hooper said something. I read the report

in the papers.

A.

I am not referring to that. I am talking of nomɑ 2313 5` trouble which took place generally about the condition of the village, that it was your duty to see that the Place was properly clean, and the whole village

- net

one or two of the villagers, but practically the whole village have complained to the Commission about the arbitrary mannar in which you cleaned the village. Now,

I want to know your version. Was there any trouble

about cleaning the village ?

Then I went in May, I was told to get the village -lean and remove all the things that were not isgal, and I did it in a straight forward manner. I never had

a ccmplaint against myself as far as I know,
