My folks said that No.1 probably wanted money, and that Tang Lo Sam knew him. I myself went to look for Tang Lo Sam. Tang Lo Sam was a gambler and a loafer. He used to be a carpenter, but latterly he did nothing. I don't know where he lived. When I went to look for him I could not find him. I sent someone to look for him, and he came to No.5 East Street.

I told him that No.1 had disturbed the place for several days, and I asked him to ascertain whether No.1 wanted money, and if so, how much, not to disturb the place. Tang Lo Sam said very well, I am on good terms with him, that can be done.

Next day Tang Lo Sam came and said that he wanted $1. I refused to pay $1 but offered 70 cents. Tang Lo Sam went away and returned next day and said that No.1 agreed for 70 cents.

I said that if No.1 did not come to trouble the place for three days I would pay him. No.1 did not come for 3 days so I began to pay Tang Lo Sam 70 cents a day. I paid Tang Lo Sam every 5 days.

After I began the payments No.1 did not come again to trouble the lane. I paid this 70 cents a day for about 7 months.
