The CHAIRMAN Wked the Attorney-General if he had seen a book produced in evidence in the Supreme Court the other day from which it appeared that men had been actually sold.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL-Ye; there is anothing like that, but I don't think from my experience there is any extensive kidnapping in the real sense of people being taken against their ill. There are, of course, a great many people who go and thon wish they had not.
The CHAIRMAN said he had no sympathy with people who had voluntarily agreed to go and taken their advance, but there were cases of real hardship. Another matter was that it had

The Governor had taken this into consideration, and when Nr. Hooper's present agreement was at an end, the additional salary would come into force.
