Pakistani housing landlord Muhammed Aslam is accused of demanding money with menaces from a number of illegal immigrants from Pakistan, who have found their way to Fulchester across Europe by train and boat. Mr Aslam insists that he was merely demanding his fees for arranging the immigrant's journey and for housing rent.

Fisherman Thomas Wheeler tells, the court, how Mohammed Aslam asked him to bring in eight illegal immigrants. The price was £150 but Mr. Aslam never paid. So on the boat, Agha Ali negotiated, a deal, for the journey for £40.

Mohammed Aslam is forced to explain a two year jail sentence he served in Pakistan. Marcus Golding asks why he waited three years to do anything about the debt owed by Agha Ali. He admits that any money owed to Mr. Wheeler was for damages.
