could not read so he asked me to reckon up the sum total of the bribes for him. I saw Stanton's & Quincey's names on the list; the characters used were **某**; each was $45 a month.

The sum set against their names was $90. Formerly Pang On used to pay this money. Now Cheng On pays it. There were also the names of various Chinese Detectives. I can remember those of Chu Tsoi, Leung Kwai Chung, Chu Fung, Cheng Mau, Hui Hing, Mi Cheung, Leung Shing, Tang Chung, Yeung Fat. Also a Water Policeman called Lo Cheung who went to England.

Mi Cheung had $25 a month. Chu Fung had $20. Lo Cheung had $15. Tang Chung $20. Yeung Fat $20. Cheng Mau $5. Hui Hing $5. Leung Kwai Chung $5. Leung Shing $15. Chu Tsoi $10.

There were no other Europeans on the list at that time. But I know that formerly European Constable No.9 got money. He got money because he made some seizures. He got $20 a month.

Lo Chun Man, who is now an Interpreter to the Detectives, came to me and said that all the Detectives had been banished. He asked me to ask Ho Fook to give him $25 a month not to seize opium that was being smuggled. I told him that he had better speak for himself. He said, "How is it you get $10 a month?" Then, because I refused to assist him in the matter, he therefore told Chan Tat Sang to prefer the false charge against me on which I was convicted.
