You hold the detectives that then either of them, on raiding a gambling house, he could inform the Inspector direct or inform me. Whichever he pleased. Since then, in deference to your instructions, I have been in the Colony. I have taken no action against gambling houses other than when I have had information of gambling to inform the Inspector in charge of the district. It was the duty since then, up to the present, you have never said or done anything to lead me to suppose you wished me to pay particular attention to gambling.

You did, on one or two occasions, inquire about raids in which gambling was alleged to be carried on. You told me you were not so much concerned about people arrested for gambling but that you would like to get some of the big bosses. I left it however to you.

When you were there, I took out several warrants against gambling houses. Some of these I executed and some I sent Sergeant McIver to execute in various places, including Ha Hong Kong Brewing, Hing Street, Lower Lawer Row, and Kei Lan Lane. Some of these warrants, in consequence of the then Superintendent's being out of office, I obtained direct from the Magistrate without applying to them. In 1895, with Sergeant McIver and ten Chinese detectives, we raided about 2 a.m.
