house with which Sam Yin was connected?
O Mi Cheung made no detailed statement.He
merely denied all knowledge of Sam Yin and the gambling house
with which he was connected.
Finally there are the confessions of the De-
tectives Au Hing (Enclosure V of my report) and Hau Hang,
both of whom gave evidence against Stanton, Quincey and Baker,
I enclose a copy of the statement made to me
by P.C.Hau Hang the day he arrived in the Colony from England
whither he had been to take part in the Jubilee.
He was taken off the steamer the morning of
his arrival here before she had any communication with the
shore, and conveyed straight to my office in the Gaol by Chief
Detective Inspector Hanson, so that he had not had an opportu -
nity of learning what had taken place during his absence.
He admitted that he received the very sum in
bribes that is set down in List H against his name.
I do not think that anything more is required
to satisfy any reasonable person that each and every one of
the signatories of the Petition received bribes from the gam
bling masters of the Wa Lane gambling house to neglect their
duty to report the gambling house. Such duty is clearly laid
down in the Chinese Regulation book (in the English & Chinese
languages) issued to each member of the Chinese Force, in the
same terms as in the Regulation book for European Constables
viz.-*A Constable is to report if he has reason to suspect
the existence of a public gaming house."
