Sam Yin states:- Before I was admitted to

Victoria Gaol I was engaged in keeping a gambling house. The

gambling house I kept was at Wa Lane, Taipingshan. The number

of the house was No.2. Sometimes the gambling was moved to

No.5 Wa Lane, and sometimes it was carried on at No.2 Ng

Kwai Fong. I had been keeping the gambling house in question

for about 5 years. It was not open the whole of the time. It

was closed at intervals and opened again.

It was not closed from the 1st.of the Chi-

nese New Year up to the 19th.of the 5th. Moon (the 18th, of

June).

It was closed on the 18th, of June because

Stanton sent word to stop the gambling. He sent Kwai Tau Hoi

to tell Lam Chi. Lam Chi was the master of Cheung Hing

Street gambling house. He also had a share in the Wa Lane

House with which I was connected.La Chi came and told me

to stop gambling.

Gambling commenced at No. 2 Wa Lane at 6 a..

and was continued to midnight. I had over 50 employees. The

gambling house was conducted on a large scale.
