The defendant was cross-examined at great length by Mr. C. G. Alabaster, K.C. who with Mr Sheldon appears for the plaintiff.

Mr. Lee Hrsan said, in answer to Mr. Alabaster that the first time he saw a share receipt of the Yau "Sing Company was when he got Fung's letter. The receipt said nothing about the opium monopoly. Witness agreed that he got some information from the compradore of the Mercantile Bank.

Questioned as to why he retained sixteen lawyers in Hueso, witness said that that had been his prac tice for the last eight years. Mr. Lee Hysan said that it to have them They all come to ask for it," he added. These legal practitioners were receiving their retainers from the Yue Sing No. and not from him personally,

Mr, Alabaster: Is the reason you give the retainers that, if all the lawyers are acting for you, it! is difficult for other people to have legal trouble with you!

Defendant: No, there are still others available.

Mr. Alabaster The fact that you were not consulted when the Government took over the nono- poly made you angry you were disappointed, I suppose! Yes, was disappointed, because I still had a stock of opium, and I con- sider that I should have been con- sulted, and given longer notice in order to get rid of it.

Mr. Alabaster then pointed out that defendant's former manager Mr. Lu Kin But was consulted by the Macao Government about the new scheme. Mr. Lee replied that he was also annoyed with Mr. Lu on the ground that being his manager, he had failed to "report the consultation to him.

In the course of further replies, witness said that he was not de sirous of continuing the opiam monopoly, as it was not profitable. Mr. Alabaster asked how witness 83,000,000 capital to subscribers in could have paid 25 per cent on the second term of his monopoly and on his own investment of business was not profitable.

Witness was also asked how he could have voluntarily increased the monthly payment to the Macso Government by months after the beginning of the second term of his monopoly, if he did not make very good profits. Mr. Lee said that sum was given in exchange for better facilities.
