money $15".

Q.

Who made that entry?

A.

My foki.

Q.

And is No 6 District, Inspector Kelly's District?

A.

Well, I don't know whether it is or not. It was put into an envelope and sent by a foki.

Q.

Now, those last two entries you remember, of the 22nd November and 5th December, the sum dropped to $15 on both occasions. Will you explain that?

A.

It used always to be $20 then to him, but when it was fixed at $15, it was Leung In that talked to him about it.

Q.

Why was it fixed at $15 these two months?

A.

I don't know how. They talked about it.

Q.

Was there any talk about business being bad, and your not being able to offer so much?

A.

I don't know how Leung In spoke to him about it.

Q.

And it did not pass through your hands, because you were not a partner, is that it?

A.

Yes.

Q.

Will you look at the next entry, please. 27th December. 12th moon, 2nd day.

A.

Yes. "Paid 6 District for engaging odd job labour, notes: making good former (The Interpreter:- Payments, I suppose it is) $10".

Q.

Whose writing is that in?

A.

It is my foki's.

Q.

Is that $10 to make up the deficiency of the $5 on each of the preceding payments?

A.

My master told me to enclose $10, to be taken up to him.

Q.

Now, did you yourself personally, at any time, make payments to Kelly?

A.

Yes, I have, but I don't remember the dates.

Q.

You don't remember the occasions?
