was in no way to be considered a partner with the said John

Tatam in the said business, nor was I to be concerned with any

debts or liabilities he might contract therein.

4.

Had it occurred to me at that time that there might

be any objection to my making the said investment I should,

before doing so, have consulted the head of my Department, the

Registrar of the Supreme Court, who, as hereinafter appears, Was

subsequently made aware of the fact, but did not suggest to me

that I had acted incorrectly.

5.

At the time of my making him the said advance John

Tatam was living in the same house with me; and, at his request,

I frequently assisted him in making up his books and accounts,

but I did so only at times when I believed myself to be entitled

to employ myself as I pleased, and when the proper performance

of my duties as a Gévernment servant was not thereby interfer-

-ed with in the slightest degree.

6.

In addition to the said sum of $1,500 I made further

advances to the said John Tatam to enable him to carry on the

said business, but at the end of the year 1895, three months

after the said business had been commenced, it was found that

the same had been carried on by the said John Tatam at a loss,

and thereupon such business was let to one Yuen Cheong, who

continued to carry it on, without any assistance from, or in-

-terference by, me } until the year 1897, when the said busijoss

was transferred to one Tang Kee, who, I believe, still carries

it but in whom, and in which business, I have no interest

on,

whatsoever.

7.

With the exception of the said period of three months,

from September to December fourteen years ago, I have at no

time rendered assistance of any kind in the carrying on of a

trade or business in this Colony or elsewhere; and I have the

honour to submit that the assistance so as aforesaid rendered

by me during the said period was not such as to come within

the meaning of the prohibition in the Colonial Regulations.

8.

During the whole course of my long service with the

Government
