Usually would go there once in every 2 or 3 days. The amount varies.

I went there once every 2 or 3 days. When there was a Saturday or Sunday

and when there was greyhound races and horse races the money would be

more. Ah Lau would hand me $10,000 to $20,000 on one occasion. I did

not go on Saturdays and Sundays I would only go on following Monday

and amount would be $30,000. Ah Lau and Hung Chei would collect money

from gambling stalls and opium divans. I knew how much individually

each stall would pay. I knew because Ma Hak Shing told me.

Mr. Sceats: Submit that this evidence is admissible as Ma Hak Shing is a named co-conspirator.)

Court: Evidence admissible.

their stalls have been raided too often and they would ask for

reduction. Sometimes Tai Kau Lau would go and make investigations

and sometimes I would go and listen. The stall at Tong Shui Road was opeated by Chan Ming alias Uncle Ming.
