Fatracts from Statements of Tang Chik Ting.

Taipo, 6.5.99.

All the men whose names appear in the letter shown to me invited the men to come from Tung Kun. (The letter referred to is one of the letters found in the Meeting House at Un Long and is marked "BA"; a translation was forwarded by me on the 24th April. The letter is signed Tang I Yau, Tang Chak Shui, Tang Pong Hing, Tang Chik Ting. J.H.S.L.)

I joined in the invitation. They were asked to come to keep and protect the country. They were asked to come to our country to join in resisting the British. We wanted to resist the British on account of the building of Police Station, the establishment of a Sanitary Board, and because women would not be allowed to close their doors at night, because also Fung Shui would be injuriously affected and taxes would be increased on land and houses, and cutting of trees would be prohibited. We were afraid and determined to assist. I took part in organising resistance. My clan paid over 100 taels subscription. The Kung Yau Pong is our ancestral temple. We paid the money out of the public funds. The chief ringleaders on Ha Tsun were Tang Wai Lung, Tang I Shik, Tang Chak Shui, Tang Po Wan, Tang Tsing; 32 is my brother.

(sd.) Tang Chik Ting
