Mr. Murphy said that the firms were import and export shopa which took in boarders who had re- turned from foreign lands. These places had licences from the Secre tariat for Chinese Affairs and in consequence were not classified as boarding houses although they car ried on the trade.
The case before the Court bad revealed an organisation created by water front searchers for collecting money in lieu of searching baggage. A number of people returned from foreign parts, particularly Singa pore and the Southern Straits Settlements and on arrival went to these import and export firms. In this case there were about 20 pás. sengers were 60 or 70 articlos ef luggage and there existed. what appeared to be an understanding between certain hoarding houses' and certain searchers whereby the luggage was left alone.
