"C"); I saw it and examined it carefully in my capacity of Secretary at a meeting of the Chinese Benevolent Society in April last; it contains the accounts of a vegetable garden worked by five partners; their names are given in another book produced, exhibit "D;" namely Mon Kee, i. e. Foung Due, Fun Que, Sine Sing, Chin Hong and Fun Quie; (this last not on the books); Foung Due told me at the Society meeting that he was Mon Kee in the book; the pages of exhibit "C" now produced to me were admitted at the Society meeting by Foung Due to have been written by him. (First two pages)
