He let the Inspector have them check. There is no evidence of corrupt motive on Kell's part.

Change &.

All the improper conversation alleged had passed though an interpreter who cannot be found at the trial.

I disagree and the evidence have been tampered with. Sir.

The witness was led by leading questions, and the answers were put into the witness's mouth. If you read the answers without the questions, they consist of "It's yes" "I did".

Mr. Jacombe Smith ought to have known better. I regard this charge as not proved.

In my opinion, a light punishment may be awarded for the goods unpaid for - viz. we make him pay for all the goods he received & reprimand him. Or we do nothing.

I am sorry to differ from Sir C. Fiddes. There is much complaint, no doubt, the Chinese are unwilling witnesses, but we must not do what is improper from a judicial point of view because of the difficulty of proof.

HBC 28/1

Sir J. Hayford 7

Mr. Churchill

I do not add to the minutes the case has been thoroughly examined. CP.d 29

A Case of Generally which justifies suspicion.

We are wanting in Appeal obliged to.

Conduct must have proofs.

In the case of Jeumo DALK, advantage of seeing.

Acting badly.

Land was Cabossed.

Cat Cam Lim properly tells.

Complaining in a casual way.

As far as I would radio Kin.

Witnesses have to bring heaps.

I do not propose to work on the fashions.

As applying cursorily to Cases of the kind. I gather from the pattern with training dissemination & to Fiddes' minute, and I therefore feel a natural reluctance to attach a severe criticism.
