to 2 directors who looked it over. I can't remember what

time this was. It would have taken more than hour to do

translating and typing. After showing copy to directors

I meant to show it to Mr. Brewer or Mrs. Brewer because 4th

witness had crossed out 2 top lines (Issued Capital & ) and

(Allotment Reserve) included the 2 items in Paid up capital. They were not in,

I went to Mr. Brewer's room. I then sent Ex.G to printing

shop by messenger perhaps with a chit book, perhaps not. I

gaw no one else then. I sent Ex.G to printers after 12 noon.

On Saturdays we close bank at 1 p.m. When I sent Ex.G I sent

request for proof. I received a proof and showed it to Mrs.

Brewer. I don't remember when I first received proof, perhaps

1 or 2 days later. I would be in Bank most Sundays, though

Bank was closed. I received at first one proof only. It was

similar to Ex.E. I made corrections in Chinese in first

proof. Ex.H is the first proof on which I made correttions, corrections in Chinese characters are in my handwriting. 3

names of directors written in Ex.H are actual signatures;

I saw them written.

When Ex.H was returned auditor's signa-

ture was not on. Ex.H is lat and only proof I received. When

Ex.H came back I gave it to Mrs. Brewer who sent for me and

asked about the alterations. I said it was 4th witness

business. I 'phoned 4th witness on Mrs. Brewer's instructions

He came at once and he went to Mrs. Brewer. When I gave Ex.H

to Mrs. Brewer 4th witness's signature was not on.

Mrs.

Brewer handed Ex.H back to me and 4th witness's signature was

After that I asked 3 directors who happened to be in

my office to sign. They signed in my presence. I pointed out to them that Ex.H was balance sheet audited by 4th witness.

I can't remember what I did next with Ex.H. I can't remember

whether I returned it to Mrs. Brewer, kept it, or took it to

printing shop myself. I have often been to printing shop.
