To Mr. Crease:

I do the ironing; I went into the tan house about half past 1; I went in alone; the game was then going on; I stayed over 10 minutes; I have not been working now for the last 2 months; I stay at Mee Wah's; I have been working there but not for the past 2 months; Mee Wah is a relation and charges me nothing for my board; I gamble once in a while; you enter a door from the street, go down the passage and turn to the left to get into the tan room in question; besides the last two witnesses I know two others who were there; Hock Nye asked me to come up as a witness; there were three tables in the room; I bet a dollar; I went in there to play; other people were running the other tables; I have had no trouble with the accused.

To the Court:

I have been many times in the tan house at No 43; I was there twice on the 28th; I saw the accused both times handling the tan; every time I went into the tan house this year I saw the accused there; when I went in there last year I did not see him; when I saw him in the tan house this year he was always handling the tan; I never saw him bring money bags into the room; I saw him carry the money bags out of the room twice I think; I have seen no other person carry the money bags out of the room.
