The witness continued: There were a lot of people in the office and I gave it to the inspector in a sealed envelope addressed to Senior Inspector Conolly. A few nights later I saw Ho Choy and told him I had given the money to the inspector, and a few weeks later he told me the inspector troubled him again, and next time I saw Inspector Conolly I asked him if he had forgotten the tea house, and he asked me which tea house, and I told him the number, and he told me he would see into it. That is all I know about it.

His Excellency: Apart from this transaction, has the inspector ever borrowed money from you? He has never.

Hon. Dr Atkinson: Was it in the Sanitary Board office that you handed this money over? In the inner office where I worked.

Were there any persons in the office? Five or six were there.

His Excellency: Did anyone see you hand it to him? I cannot say, as I was generally very busy as I had a lot of work to do.

Defendant: He said I never borrowed money at any time, I wanted to ask him if he had lent me any money at any time? No.

There is nothing I can ask him then. Defendant was to address the Council when His Excellency said: Reserve your statement till afterwards.

Ho Choy, the next witness, was called and was examined through the interpreter. He said: My name is Ho Choy and I am master of the Kin Shan roast meat shop, of 45, Queen's Road West, and partner in the Yat Heung tea house of 451, Queen's Road West.

Hon. Mr Pay: Was there any trouble with the Yat Heung? The accountant of the Yat Heung tea house told me that the...
