Captain Superintendent of Police and Supt of the Hong Kong
Gaol, while undergoing a sentence of six months hard
labour for personating a Constable, on the 30th August, 1897, This was in the interval between your Petitioner's trial
by Captain May, on the 24th August, and his dismissal on
the 2nd September.
His statement is to the effect that he saw in the hands
of one Pang On, a former Chief Excise officer, a list of names of members of the Police in receipt of hush money from the Opium Farmer, and that your Petitioner's name
was amongst them.
Although the statement contains allegations against Ex-Chief Inspector Corcoran and others who have since
received their full pensions, and others who are still members of the Hong Kong Police Force, it has been used only against myself and ex-inspector Quincey.
4.- The man Cheng On alleged that he actually paid much money to one Yeung Fat for your Petitioner, Mr Quincey and others, and to one O. Micheung for Mr Corcoran and
others.
He declared that the money was not paid by the Opium Farmer, but by Sungglors, and that he received it from one Wong Yen, whom he particularly described. He also gave a detailed account of conversations with him relating
to the payments of these bribes.
In rebuttal your Petitioner was able to show that
Wong Yau never existed, and therefore the statement
that he paid money was a wilful fabrication.
Further your Petitioner has reason to believe that the Captain Superintendent of Police actually knew this at
the time the statutory Declaration was taken.
Your Petitioner further pointed to certain facts
which shewed that Cheng On was evidently under obligations
to Captain May and consequently made such statements
as would please him.
