so came up and sail be was on spacial duty, shares. and LEO at the credit of roservo lund he and he demanded ten cents. (Witness here re-disposed of as follows:113,33.78 to be written off
ferred to a note book in whicks he took notes at the time he was watching.)
Mr. Wabbor olaited to have the whole entry wed, nad it was read, and thon the book was handed to Mr. Wabbor for inspection.
Mr. Webber said the entry of ten conts was not against No. 304 at all, axl it was simply an attempt to deceive,
Inspector Methiomon wished his Worship to take a note of the last observation.
Mr. Wobber-I repeat it.
His Worship-That is a matter for argument. There was 8001 farther argument about the production of this book, and his Worship ro- marked that the witness was the only interpre- tee of his own notca.
Witness went on to give the nambars of other constabies, and the times they came up. Nothing was sald after the one last referred to, however, until 11.3, when No. 226 came up. Someone said to him-"You have been beating us." He samed snrprised and said Younpay me money, why should I beat you." There had been a lia turbance just before this with the lokangs No. 280 struck the boy who họ came up, and had a quarrel with the petitioner Che Alik. On three occasions I thought I should have to come down because thero would ta a rist. They were speaking of getting their friends to come up and fight. Just then people kept looking ap at the book loft, and I thought I would be discovered, and I went down for a time.
Cross-examined by Mr. Webber-The lokanga charged are stationed all over the colony. I have known Che Alik momo ponry, but of my own knowledge I do not know he has ever boon con- ricted of any offence. I cannot say be is a man of good chorooter. He was enou charged with an offence before the Supreme Court, and I conducted the caeaagainst him. The case failed. I am not aware that I have a repo- tation for being partoularly shrewd at identity. fog people. The Chinese call me "Blind Boy," but that from no defective vision. It is because when I first came to the Colony, when I was quite young, I had wore syes. Thaen very good sight. I did not know the numbers of the constables whan they came up in plain clothes, but the interpreter gave me the numbers.
Mt. Webbor-hen, Mr. Mathiason, you havo
all this time beez swearing to what you don't
know of your own knowledge.
Witness-I have not.
