Wanchai Station, January 4, 1869

Police Department

Sir,

I beg to report having raided the public gambling houses during the past week as follows:

Date Address Name Time December 29, 1868 100 Queens Road East For Kee 7:20 pm - 3 pm, 7:26 pm - 3 pm, 5 pm December 30, 1868 5:35 pm - 2:46 pm December 31, 1868 140 Hollywood Road Wing Kee 3:30 pm - 3:45 pm January 1, 1869 23 Hillier Street Yung Man Lau, Tye Kee 3:40 pm - 4 pm January 2, 1869 Wing On Lau, Hong Kee 3:50 pm - 4 pm January 2, 1869 10 Gilman Street Ching Kee 4 pm 225 Queens Road Central Shers Kee 11:30 am, 11:20 am, 11:25 pm, 12 noon, 10:30 pm, 11:50 pm, 10:35 pm, 11:40 am, 10:40 pm, 11:35 am 4:30 pm, 11:25 am 253 Queens Road West Ming Kee 45 Wong Kee, Wye Kee

I found the houses were well conducted, with very few exceptions, and the betting very low. The gamblers were of the lowest class, and there were no valuables whatever stated.

I think there was a decided decrease in the number of gamblers, and a large quantity of females were present.

About the manner of the increase of gambling among boatmen, chair coolies, etc., as usual.
