Hat Ashar had been injured by Le Mong.
After this I went to the shop of a barber, surnamed Tang #, and while he was shaving me I said, "Have you heard the business of my friend Le Pashing? The barber grew very angry, and was indignant against "foreigners." "No man", said he, "should go to Victoria to do business. If a man is apprehended there by another, whoever he is, he is held to be the thief of that other; if he wishes him to live, he lives; if he wishes him to die, he dies. There is no regard to Heavenly principles. If a man stands security for him, he cannot get it!
His barber also said that all who had been apprehended were accused, but that only a few of them were really guilty.
After this I came to He Chung, and had my supper at 3 o'clock, in the shop of a curd seller, Tang Chung #. After speaking to Wong H-chung about the robbery, I said, "There was a friend of mine, Le Pashor, who removed his family last year to Hongkong. Do you hear that?" He replied, "Yes." "When was it?" I asked. "In the eleventh month last year. I do not remember the day!"
I asked, "Have you heard of the robbery, and other things?" He said, "I have heard people say that he was bribed by the Firm Shop to injure a man, a trader in salt, and a boat-builder, and was concerned in the burglary.
