the of

at 35, Lower Lacear Road and am the late first clerk in the

Senitary Department. I know the man sitting down, he is

inspector Conolly. I know Ho Choy. About ten months ago I called at his shop one night and he told me he had a tea house in Queen's Road West, and that the senior inspector gave him a lot of trouble by requiring the tea house to be

cleansed at noon every Saturday. He asked me if I knew the

inspector and asked me to get permission to cleanse the place

in the evening. I told him that I knew the inspector and

that I would speak to him. The next day I saw Inspector con-

olly in my office and I asked him whether he was the inspec-

to le clianıd ter who required the tea house in Queen's Road West, and I

ave him the address of the tea house. He said 'yes'end I

then told him it was kept hy my friend and that if he would

be lenient to him my friend would give him a cursha, and he

said 'all ritht if it is your friend? That evening I went to

see No Choy and told him I had seen Inspector Conolly and he

had Treed to be lenient to him. He then asked what should

he give to the inspector and I said "give what you like. He

said will ten dollars do and I said what you like and he told

me to sit in his shop and he would go and get the money.

He returned in about half an hour and gave me one $10 bill and

asked me to give it to the inspecter. I kept the money in

my rocket for a few days and cave it to the inspector the

first time I saw him.
