He was a widower with 10 children.
The charges against him were:
(a) Receiving bribes amounting to $100 or thereabouts paid on two or three occasions by Chinese for their friends to whom he granted Certificates. He alleged, however, that such payments were presents from friends, not bribes beyond the proper fees.
(b) Receiving money to which he was not entitled, specifically with regard to Certificates granted to Chinese enabling them to land at St. Francis.
(c) Offering Ip Ian Than (a Chinese Writer in Osmund's office and a witness who alleged he paid bribes to Osmund) $50 and advising him to bolt.
By Osmund's admission when questioned, he acknowledged the offer of $50 to enable Ip Ian Than to bolt.
The Council was satisfied with Ip Jak Shan's statement regarding the offer. There seemed some divergence of opinion as to whether Ip Jak Shan's evidence regarding the gaming house bribes could be accepted in the face of Osmund's denial.
