Question of Profit.

Mr. Hugh-Jones: If the owner of a distillery and wine shop was able and successfully changed the labels and used them again, would it be profitable, to him?

Witness: Yes. He would make $2.10 on every jar.

And if he were frustrated would it pay him to get rid of the op- position party?--Yes. ·

That having closed the case for the prosecution, Mr. Hugh-Jones opened his case by calling Chief Preventive Officer Clarke.

Examined by Mr. Hugh-Jones, Mr. Clarke said that the defendant was one of his Chinese, offices. He at no time, made a report to witness. concerning the Lee On wine shop or the Wong Woo Sung distillery, but a senior Chinese Revenue Officer had made a re- port in connection with both these places.. No instructions were issued direct to the defendant but if he were the man who had in- formed the senior B.C., he would have received the instructions Indirectly.

Answering questions from the Bench, Mr. Clarke said that it would be the defendant's duty to report immediately if he had made arrangements the previous evening to accept a bribe. He was quite justified to stay in the restaurant for some time before reporting if he had been given a bribe without any previous arrangements. The report could be made later.

Re-examined by Mr. Hugh-Jones witness said that should a senior' officer have entered the teahouse after accepting a bribe, he (wit ness) would have acted in the same way as the defendant had done and produced the note at
