Chan was his assistant, and Chan Sau, ( a brother of the defendant) one' of the staff, and also several others whom Counsel named, and who were occupying other positions ranging from clerk to messenger coolie.

As to the contract mentioned above, Counsel stated that its value in the Wing On Company in the first year was to the ture of $17,000. In 1926 that sum rose to $19,000. To the end of July of the present year, which might be regarded as a bumper year, or it was to have been a bumper year until the defendant willed it other- wise, the amount had further in- creased to $130,000, or roughly, at an average of $20,000 per mengum. From a study of these figures, Mr. Jänkin said that it was obvious what the bencfit would be to the defendant to get the contract for himself by such means as he had- worked out.

Contract Time Unlimited,.

The contract with the Dollar Line started in 1924, under which the Dollar Line, as disclosed in copies of letters which Counsel produced, the Wing On Company was assured of continued custom from the Dollar Company so long as the quality and price was what was expected, combined with good service. That service was tinued with the Dollar Line up to the end of July, of this year...
