During that six years, have you ever been called upon

by your master to alter the books in the same way as

you have been called upon to make these alterations ? No. If there were any, they ware errors. He only told me to alter these.

When he asked you to make these alterations, did you not ask him why he wanted you to make them ?

I did. There were three or four accountants. I waE number four. Fut it was because Chan Vai was not there this year that I was told to do it. I was sitting at

the counter, and he told me to do it.
