3. Declaration of Pun Kong.
I, PUN KONG, of Victoria, in the Colony of Hongkong, Assistant Preventive Officer, do hereby solemnly and sincerely declare :—
1. That I am employed by the Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Company, Limited, to prevent smuggling of Opium and Saltpetre on board the Company's steamers.
2. That I know the face of A. HING, one of the Assistants of the Min Un Opium shop No. 30, Hillier Street. He used to ship Opium on the Canton steamers.
3. That about one o'clock P.M. on the 12th September instant I saw him talking with my fellow watchman FUNG A SHING. I went near them and heard him ask A SHING not to watch him so closely, and he would pay him Two dollars a voyage. Thereupon I said "No can." while you are engaged by the Company to prevent smugglers." FUNG A SHING then refused him. As A HING was leaving the steamer, he said the things would come that night. I suspected him and reported the circumstance to Mr. LOGAN, who replied "if so, we will go and catch them." About 7.30 o'clock P.M. that evening, I saw Mr. LOGAN and some others find Opium in the steam-winch room, and the Captain took charge of it.
64
And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true and by virtue of the Provisions of an Act made and passed in the Sixth year of the reign of His late Majesty King WILLIAM the Fourth entitled "An Act to repeal an Act of the (then) present Session of Parliament entitled An Act "for the more effectual Abolition of Oaths and Affirmations taken and made in "various Departments of the State and to substitute Declarations in lieu thereof "and for the more entire suppression of voluntary and extra-judicial Oaths and "Affidavits' and to make other provisions for the Abolition of unnecessary Oaths."
Declared at No. 35, Queen's Road Victoria in the Colony of Hongkong this 23rd day of September 1889.

4. Declaration of Fung A Shing.
I, FUNG A SHING, of Victoria, in the Colony of Hongkong, Assistant Preventive Officer, do hereby solemnly and sincerely declare :----
1. That I am in the employment of the Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Company, Limited, as Assistant Preventive Officer, to watch the Company's steamers and prevent people from smuggling Opium and Saltpetre.
2. That about 3 o'clock in the morning of the Eleventh September instant, I went to the steamer Honam. About 3.30 o'clock A.M., I saw a boat come along the port side of the steamer, but the people in the boat also saw me and rowed away towards the West and stopped when they got near the Anchorage of Chinese Junks. They waited there for about half an hour and then came alongside the Honam again on the port bow. When they got near the steamer, they saw me again and again rowed away from the steamer. They did this two or three times. The boat did not finally go away until about 5.30 o'clock A.M. Thereupon, I went ashore and followed it. It came ashore at West Point, and I saw four large parcels taken ashore by a man who twice carried two parcels into the house No. 223, Praya West, where the Opium is boiled by the Opium Farmer. I reported what had happened to the Head Preventive Officer, Mr. LOGAN.
3. That about 10 o'clock A.M. on the following day, the Twelfth September instant, I went on board the Powan. About 1 o'clock P.M., a man called A HING came on board the Powan and talked with me. He asked me not to watch him so closely, and he would pay me Two dollars a voyage. Then Pun Kong, my fellow watchman, came and heard what passed between us, and A. Hing requested me not to keep my eyes on him. Pun Kong, hearing this, said to me "No can. How could you take the smuggler's money when you were engaged by the Company to prevent them from smuggling?" so I replied to A Hing "No can," and he went away. I reported the matter to Mr. LOGAN.
4. That at about 7 o'clock P.M. that same day, I was on board the Honam and saw a boat coming towards the ship. At the same time, A HENG came up to me and said that the things were coming. I replied "No can. If you are smuggling, I must try to seize the goods." Almost immediately, I saw that the boat was leaving the Honam and going Westward. I reported the matter to Mr. LOGAN, and accompanied him in his search when we found four parcels of Opium in the steam-winch room. The Captain took charge of this Opium.
And I make this solemn Declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true and by virtue of the provisions of an Act made and passed in the Sixth Year of the Reign of His late Majesty King WILLIAM the Fourth entitled "An Act to repeal an Act of the (then) present Session of Parliament" entitled An Act for "the more effectual Abolition of Oaths and Affirmations taken and made in various Departments of the State and to substitute Declarations in lieu thereof and for the more entire suppression of voluntary and extra-judicial Oaths and Affidavits' and to make other provisions for the Abolition of unnecessary Oaths."
