In June 1894 the Honorable F. H. May, then Captain Superintendent of Police, acting on information, entered No. 3 East Street, Hing Kong, where he seized certain gaming implements, and money, jewellery, and books relating to gambling in a house in Wah Lane.
In consequence of this, the detectives arrested a Chinaman named Sham In who, on the evidence of two other gamblers, Love and ..., was convicted as a keeper of the house and sentenced to nine months imprisonment with hard labour.
One of the papers seized by Mr. May purported to be a list of numbers, designations, and names of persons in the Police Force and other government departments, as well as several private persons, in receipt of bribes paid by the gamblers.
After his conviction, Sham In was induced by Captain Superintendent May, who was also the Superintendent of the Gaol, to give an explanation of the list.
So far as I am concerned, Sham In alleged that number 443 on the list referred to me, as being one of the persons to whom (through others) he had paid bribes. This Sham In stated that he had paid money for me and for Sergeant McIver (then on leave in Scotland) to Detective P.C. 137 Han Hang who was then in London, on duty at the Diamond Jubilee celebrations, to Detective P.C. 319 Yeung ..., and subsequently to Detective P.C. 314 ...
