À DIFFICULT STRUGGLE. Mr. C. Robertson, who was chatting with soine friends at the top of Fedder Street on the night in question, said his attention was called to the Cafe Parision by reason of a police whistle being blown.

At the bottom of Wyndham Street witness went to the officer's assistance, helped to put Mr. Taylor into a chair, and also helped to hold him in the chair on the way to the Central Police Station.

THE BAND. Questioned as regarded the ordering of the band for playing at tilkins, Mr. Taylor denied that he failed to order the band and that it was late in turning up. After they first played at the Cafe he suggested to Mr. Durand that they should play daily and he ordered them to come every day.
Mr. Hugh Jones: If the leader of the band, the pianist, comes and any he was tou by you not come it would be wrong:
Mr. Taylor: Yes..
Mr. Lindsell: If he came and said this you would deny it --Witnesa : Yen.
Mr. Lindseli had occasion to reprimand Mr. Taylor and told him he did not de himself any good by becoming excited.
