I paid it to Tang Lo Lam for European Police Sergeant who was formerly on the Canton Wharf. Tang Lo Lam told me so. No, I have not. It was some time past. I was there. The watchman gave the alarm & then Tang Lo Lam, who said he knew him.

3 or 4 arranged with him not to disturb the gambling. After receiving the hush money, he never came to warn us that they had received the money.

X X I see item on page 4 of H "New 43 $2". This means that I paid $2 to Tang Cheong to be paid to the English detective No 43. Tang Cheong, I believe, arranged this payment with me with Ram Chi 3 years ago - no, it may have been arranged over 3 years ago.

X I see next item on page 4 of H "No 3 $12.0". This means that I paid Tang Cheong for a European constable to search houses. He used it at the time of the Plague. Two or three months after the Plague (in 1894), I began to pay this money. At the time he left Hong Kong, I think this was about '70. I stopped paying him for that reason.

(257 410) I see next item on page 4 of H "Kwan. 3.". This means that I paid to a ti who was sent by Tang Cheong to turn off $3 each day, paid daily for Inspector Quincey. Quincey was paid.

I see item on p. 4 of H. "Paid $810 plus $10". This means that I paid to a si for Tang Cheong $10 for the Lum of #9 for every day. I believe his share was $3. I don't know who the others were.

I paid Tang Cheong daily $16, made up as follows: For new 43 $1.90, For No 3 $3.00, For Quincey $3.00, additional $10.

$16.30 $10 # I see item on p. 4 of H "189 $/ Tang". I paid $110 to Ayi for Tang Cheong, for European Constable No 89. I don't know whether he is Inspector or Sergeant. He was at the Central Station. He has been paid for 3 or 4 years. I think the payment was going on up to the time I was arrested. I think I have heard that he has gone home. I think he has not gone.
