The following is a resume of the evidence for the prosecution given at the Police Court, which was not in any way controverted by the defence. After my examination, the finding of the time-box, etc., in which no mention of the incriminatory papers was made (and it is worth noting that the defence did not cross-examine me, evidently to judge by the whispered consultations in Court between Solicitor Hannell and his client, in fear lest some damaging disclosures might be made), I was questioned as to the other contents of the box.

This seemed to a competent witness to be a test of the authenticity of the statement more coming from I-see Leung, who gave evidence to the following effect. He had been employed for the past 4 years by Sam Chai, the uncle of Sam Zui. He was a watchman at one of the entrances to Wah Kee, his pay was $15 a month. There were altogether 44 persons regularly employed by the Gambling Meeting in connection with the gambling in Wah Kee. There were two men for counting the beads at fantan, two employed as bankers, and 40 croupiers. The remainder were principally engaged as watchmen.
