I was on duty, at D'Aguilar Street, had instructions to stop the beating of gongs and drums and other musical instruments at 11 pm. I had special instructions with regard to the time before 11 o'clock, but I understood them to mean that before 11 o'clock I was to allow them to go on. I did allow them to go on until 11 o'clock. At 11 o'clock I went up to the shed where they were carrying on the music and told them it was 11 o'clock, I stood in front of the shed for about 5 minutes and the people began to disperse. They were very indignant at having to stop and expressed dissatisfaction. They said that the Man Mo Temple went on all night long, why shouldn't they. They were very noisy. They did not threaten me.
As they would not stop I went to the head man and asked him to come and tell them to stop. The head man went back with me, and told them to stop and then they stopped. I was in uniform on duty. They none of them offered any violence. The affair stopped at 11.20pm, and the greater part dispersed. The coolies living in the neighbourhood skried over.
