Defendant: I kept paying the money back in instalments. I asked if that was all D owed him for poultry and everything up to date. He said "Yes" and he gave me a receipt and that was all about it. When he lent the money to me he has put it down in the book. I admit borrowing the money from the man as he has been my compradore but all the money has been returned to him on the instalment plan.

Defendant: Yes, and it has been returned. He says it has never been returned and he gave us to understand that he did not expect it to be returned as he gave it for a plan.

Defendant: I have a witness. He was my Interpreter when I paid the money - a man in the Cheong Lee furniture shop.

His Excellency: He says he does not consider that $25 due because it was for a plan.

Defendant (to witness): Did I not give you a promissory note for the $25?

A. There is no promissory note.

A. Where is that promissory note I gave you written on foolscap paper.

Defendant: There was no promissory note written for me.

Mr. May: Inspector Amy, you say you have been dealing with this shop since 1904?

Defendant: Yes, sir.

Q. Is that the only receipt you have got?

A. That is the only one I have got now. I have been dealing with him and paying him up monthly and the other receipts I did not bother about.

Sir Paul Chater: That receipt does not say the $25 has been paid back?

A. We have kept "lingering" it down until it has come down to $5. I have got receipts for some of them but I can't find...
