Mr Shakespeare recalled 31 March 1881. The prisoner Ah Jim interfered several times during the time I was taking the Inventory. When I wanted to go to put the goods we were seizing he would lay hold of the things and take them away. He appeared to be the ringleader . He took a tent from where I had placed it and put it back from where I had taken it. This he repeated several times When I was endeavoring to take a clock he interfered said it belonged to another man and he pushed me on one side. He also interfered with blankets & bedding by stating that they belonged to other man and he moved them back after I had taken them away. Lewis had tents and satchel and when he was about to take them to the waggon Ah Jim and some other chinamen pressed against him and would not let him pass. I told him to put the things down and to go and get a policeman . When a policeman came I told him to arrest Ah Jim for interfering with me whilst in the discharge of my duty. Noah Shakespeare A.F.
