Three years ago, Chu Isai Kam came to me and said that there was gambling going on in Wa Lane and that all the Detectives were getting money. If I wanted some, I could go with him to Sam Yin and he would arrange it. I went with Chu Isai Kam to see Sam Yin. I went to No. 5 Bast Street. He arranged to pay 80 cents a day to Chu Tsai Kam for me. Since that time, Chu Isai Kam has been receiving money for me at the rate of 80 cents a day and paying it to me at intervals of a few days or a week. He paid me up to the time I left for England. Sometimes the gambling was stopped and then I got no money.

I know that previous to the beginning of this year, P.C.319 Yeung Fat used to receive bribes for P.S.No.3 Molver and P.S.No.43 Holt. Yeung Fat used to receive $1.50 a day for Holt. He only paid Holt $1 a day. I do not know how much he received for and paid to Molver.

At the beginning of this year, Holt altered the...
