Yawn a Ching, Contractor of Building. I carried out the Contract of putting a New roof to the Supreme Court. The contract was for $8000. The whole work cost about $18,000. Mr. Buckle was the Engineer for the roof. I did not lose as regards the roof, but in building the Latrine at the back I lost $2,000. It was the fault of my foreman. I was paid about 3 months after I had finished the work. I was owed at the completion of the work about $8,000.
