described himself as an import and export agent between China and Foreign countries and stated that he had spent many years in Liverpool. There was a small business sign in the name of
W # Sun Fat Jah in Chinese exhibited on the praises with a similar sign exhibited at the street entrance to the premises.
The rear cubicle of the flat was occupied by this man
and served the combined purpose of an office and living room.
An inspection of the safe and locked drawers in the cubicle revealed a very large collection of account books and correspondence in English and Chinese, dating back several years; there were also large sums of money in Hong Kong, English and American currencies, viz:- Hong Kong $2150.00, £103. 10., Gold
$553.50.
The documents revealed the existence of a skeleton
business between the Sun Fat Wah company and firms in England, France, America and Manila.
There were a number of Chinese passports issued
in England by the Chinese Consul-General.
The Chinese documents established the existence of
a conspiracy to smuggle Chinese into ingland, Holland, France, and the United States of America with agencies in these countries, and also showed that large sums of money wore
used for this purpose.
Though trafficking in Chinese to Foreign Countries fram Chim is evident from the documents examined, there was nothing to indicate recent activities by the syndicate.
