Station is watched all round while play going on; watchmen are placed at certain points along Hollywood Road, Queen's Road, Lower Lascar Row, and Possession Street so that it is very difficult to make a successful raid and whenever I go out, I am watched and it is known that the owner of the gambling house is stopped.
Failing that, the play is stopped. I most respectfully beg to report with a view to taking action.
Central Station, 287 January 16th, 1897
I have the honor to report for your information respecting the reported gambling houses you gave on the 15th instant. The numbers on Chung King Street, Nos: 2, 4, 6 are all family houses.
No 2 is occupied by families on the ground, 1st & 3rd floors; the 2nd floor is vacant.
No 3: the 1st, 2nd, 3rd floors are occupied by families; there is no gambling.
I also beg to submit the names of the gambling masters whom I think would be fit people for banishment.
