Mr. Davidson said he admitted that his olient did at one time keep an opiam divan, but when this became an offence against the law he had converted his and at the present time they premises into a lodging house

were only used for that purpose, He allowed the coolies to smoke opium there but he never got any profit from that. He also allowed them to use the pipes, which were his property. He (Mr. Davidson) was told by his client that the pipes in Court were not those which had been taken from his house. Those in Court were very much inferior to those which were his property.

The defendant stated that he did not make any profit from the 1smoking of opium in his house, and most of the men who were arrested there were men who had come to see him with regard to a abeoription they were getting up for the relatives of a dead friend.
