His Worship-The object being f Mr. Godge-The object is pretty obvious, The identifications have been found fault with, and are said to be of no use. I shall have certain comments to make regarding the conduct of the police in this matter, and as regards these identifications I shall sub mit. to your Worship that the prosecution have been wholly misled by the polion in this matter. I have some very strong remarks to make as to how an identification should be con dusted.
His Worship-I don't see that that will make any difference to the Identifications,
Mr. Godge Your Worship the police have strict instructions and it le laid down in the police regulations, that certain formalition shall be observed in identifications, and I want to know why these formalities were not observed.

His Worship-It will be for you on this point, Mr. Gedge. I refuse permission
Mr. Gedge contended that he was entitled to have discovery of this document just as much as he was entitled to have discovery of documents in a civil action.
Mr. Shenton pointed out that the document was a privileged document.
Mr. Godge samhitted that no avidance given

His Worship-I don't think it will affect the value of the identifications one way or the other if you recall the witness."

Mr. Gedge--It will affect my case materially. -You will see when I have the honour to addrese your Worship where it will affect me.
His Worship-I am prepared to let you call him, but I don't see where it will be of any The Identifleation is good to my mind. ̈ ̈
Mr. Gedge--I have some comments to make on the way in which it was conducted..
Mr. P. P. J. Wodehouse, Assistant Deputy Superintendent of Police, was recalled, and war questioned as to regulations governing the discipline of the police force, especially relating to identification.
Was the identification of thenomen in sasordanes with the regulations No.
Why didn't you act in accordance with regulations F-It was not a police identification. The Captain Superintendent of Police told you off to conduct that identification --He told me to attend the identification. I did not consider I was in charge of it.
And that is your only excuse ?--That is my
reason.
The Captain Superintendent thought it no cossary that a police offer should be in
attendance? -You.
Why did you appeal to me to know whether I wisked ether people mixed with the excise offers ?--I considered you were in charge of
the identification.
His Worship The identification was merely watched by the police!
Witams--Yes.
Mr. Gedge-Don't you now think on mature
identification, that as it affected men who were more or less policemen, it would have been better if you had conducted it in the srdinary manner in accordance with police regulations ?
Wituase-Yes,

Mr. Godge Why didn't you do so? Witness--Because I was not in pharge. Mr. Godge - You thought the solicitor for the defence was in charge. That is the most novel excuse I have heard in this Court
Questioned by his Worship, witness said he could not remember an identification which had not led to a prosecution. Witness was sure there was no reason given him by the Captain Superintendent of Police when he was orttored to attend the identification. His instructions were conveyed on a slip of paper.
Mr. Sherton-Did you push him naide ? Witness No. Continuing, he said that while he was standing on the gangway a European arrived and questioned the captain as to what had happoned.

Did you ask him where the captain was?—I maked him where the chief officer was, and he took me to the officer's room, but the chief offer was not there.
Where did you find him ?—I did not find him till the fight took place in the tallymen's quarters.
Did you see an excise officer arrest a man on the deck P-No,
Do you know if such a thing took place No..
