Sam Yin states: - I am at present a prisoner in Victoria Gaol undergoing a sentence of months imprisonment with hard labour for keeping a common gaming house at No. 2 Wa Lane.

I recognise the paper produced; it is a list of the persons to whom I gave bribes as hush money for the gambling house which I kept in No. 2 Wa Lane. I wrote the list myself.

I know the Inspector present. He is No. 6 Inspector. I have seen him passing in the street and my foki have told me that he was No. 6. I have never spoken to him.

It is the entry "6, collar, Fat", that means that one collar a day was paid to Yeung Fat to be given to No. 6 Inspector.

Yeung Fat came to me after the Great Plague, and
