Note.

I remember the 29th, day of the 5th. Chinese

moon (28th, June). I saw the Inspector on that day at 9.50

2. M.

I saw him in his office at the Central Station. I had a

Supt. of Police's Office, and spoke about the jewellery that

had been pledged. I did not speak about anything else on tha

occasion. When I was in the Captain Supt. of Police's Office

Inspector Stanton acted as Interpreter.

the morning of the 29th. of the 5th.moon, when I had the con-

fairs that I was not to speak about his receiving money.
