nese Detectives received bribes. There were two Inspectors

on the Detective Staff and two Sergeants. When I heard that

the two Inspectors Stanton & Quincey and the two Sergeants

No.43 & No. 3 received bribes I believed it to be true. I

also heard and believed it to be true that No.10 Inspector

received bribes.

It would have been impossible for these two

gambling houses to have been kept open if the Inspectors

Stanton & Quincey had not been bribed.

By Inspector Quincey: -I was never sent out

to enquire regarding gambling houses. If I had a report to

make I made it to Stanton & to you. Sometimes I reported to

Stanton and sometimes to you. I do not know whose district

Wa Lane & Cheung Hing Lane are in. I have heard that they

ae-in, I have heard that they are in No.10's district.

I did not report these two gambling houses

because I had received bribes and Tang Chung ordered me not

to do so and said that all the Inspectors were bribed. I

have made enquiries for you. I have gone out with you to

make enquiries. I have gone to break gambling houses with

you. I do not know of any gambling houses in your district.
