Lane gambling house was on the same scale.
The two houses were not conducted in secrecy,
They had been opened so long that most people in Hong-Kong
knew of them. The Cheung Hing Street House which Lan Chi
kept was open during the same hours at the house that I ma-
naged in Wa Lane.
I was able to keep my house in Wa Lane open
because I bribed the Police,
I kept a list of the bribes I paid and the
names of the persons I paid them to.
The list produced (List H.) is the list of
persons to whom I paid bribes.
I know the Inspector present. It is Inspector
Quincey. He is an Inspector in the Police. I do not know in
what capacity he acts. He is called by some Chinese M: Chữ
tsai (Little black pig) and by others Quincey.
His name is on the list. It is the item on
page 1 of H "Kwan 3". This means that on the 1st. 2na, &3rd.
days of the 1st.moon of the Chinese New Year I paid $3 each
day to P. S. (190) Tang Chung to be paid to Quincey. P. S. Tang
Chung was in the Hong-Kong Police.
This item under the heading "Mo Tsing" (No
grace) means that the recipient did not forego his bribe on
the 1st. three days of the Chinese New Year like most of the
Chinese did.
On the page 4 of H is another entry referrin
