gamblers to watch the Police. On my going on patrol the words would be nothing unusual appeared in the street.
As to knowing where the lodgers were living and who they were I had not the slightest idea.
The regular duty Suspectors have very little opportunity to watch our houses and unless information is given to them, it is almost impossible for them to know where a gambling house is. I do not remember receiving any information from any one of the Chinese detectives of gambling in Wa Haw or Leung King Street recently although I have enquired of them through Inspector Stanton and the answer was "nothing doing."
No report of gambling in Wa Haw or Leung King Street was made to me after I broke up Wa Lau on the 26th of January last till the Honourable Captain Superintendent of Police spoke to me on or about the 17th of June. I was then of opinion that there was gambling there. Reports were received about houses in other parts of the district, and warrants taken out.
The first witness that made a statement against the house in Leung King Street says that when the Police took out a warrant they received information; this could not be given by the Police or through the Police; for I would actually know when I took out a warrant, what house it was for; except the Honourable Captain Superintendent of Police, Mr. Arthur and others might know that I had taken out a warrant, and what house it was for, from other sources.
He also states that certain reasons were given to them not to arrest or interfere with the houses. I most explicitly deny having made this statement or receiving any money from anyone representing them.
The characters paid for watching are at present in prison for promoting gambling. The second is a professional watchman to gamblers.
"Trusting my case will meet with His Excellency the Governor's favourable consideration.
