Wong Koon Ying, recalled:
404
On the day that the $10 was paid, was he in the shop?
The Chairman: Yes, Sir.
Did you see Inspector Lee come to the shop?
A. No, Sir.
Did he see him come to the shop?
A. That day I did not see.
Mr Sercombe Smith: Were you upstairs?
A. I went out occasionally.
Mr Hewett: The question put to you was: Were you in the shop when the Inspector arrived.
Mr Sercombe Smith: What particular work have you got to do in the shop? Do you stop in the shop during the day, or do as your work take you outside?
A. I am salesman. "I go out and sell goods".
Mr Gompertz: Do you sell things in the shop or do you take things outside to sell?
A. To buy goods in.
Mr Hewett: You are the buyer, not the salesman?
A. Yes.
Mr Hewett: (To the Interpreter). You said just now this witness said he was the salesman.
The Interpreter: It was a mistranslation. Salesman is one thing, and buyer is another.
Mr Hewett: I mean the buyer.
And as a buyer, would his business take him a good deal away from the shop during the day, or would he be in the shop a great part of the day?
A. My time is most occupied in the street.
Q. And where does your accountant sit and write up the books, upstairs or on the ground floor?
A. On the first floor.
Above the shop?
