I had no inducement sent to my return. from Fraser-Smith to return. I heard from Capt. Crafg that the defendant and Ward were imprisoned. I think I sent a message to the defendant by Capt. Williams. I saw Capt. Craig some tima in July last, as far as I know I believe I wrote to the defendant after I saw Capt. Craig: In the letter before referred to I told the defendant about the evidence I was in passes slon of. I didn't come with Capt. Craig because of pecuniary embarrassments. By the time I came with the defendant I had mayed some money. My Chinese clerk was not present when I handed over my office property to the defendant, I said the other day that I thought van Epps bad stolen my private diary, because he had a key, I had none. I believe the safe was removed key of the safe-the Chinese clark had another
my key of the safe. In 1888 I borrowed $330 to the defendant's house. Van Epps, stack to from Goulbourn, but I don't think I knew it was Minblaneti's money. I think the first loan from Mlahlanett was in July, 1888, I remember repaying a sum of $600 to the plaintiff, I don't remember on what account it was paid. He used to come in and say "I want some money," and I would give him money, perhaps $100. OF $500 or $600 at a time. I think the sum of $600 was paid on account of that note because the plain- tiff came to me and said he wanted me to pay something on account. I paid it specifically on Fraser-Smith's account. My ledger does not contal accounts of my Indebtedcess to the defendant. When I handed over all my books &c. to the defendant I thought I owed the defendant about $1,000 besides my liability of $1,500-my share on the promissory note, I overdrew my account at the bank, med borrowed to cover it. I am quite certain that Tsang King's note for $5,000 was not paid on the first occasion of going to the bank for an overdraft. In taking over about
A seal was produced at this point and identified by the witness as the seal in question.
Continuing-That is theseaf. It bears thetame crest as a lot of jewellery that is in the plaintiff possession. I gave you (defendani) the seal in Australia. The little girl I saw that night, appeared abolit 6 or 7 years of age. She was apparently used as a servant, She disappeared scon afer that. That was the only little girl I have seen in the plaintiff's house. Minhinnett told me that the girl Emily was entitled to some money and he had to look after it as her guardian. I visited the plaintiffs house while Emily was there; particularly in ble present residence No. 3. Arsenal Street. I understood that Emily was living with the plaintiff as his kept woman, I don't remember seeing the mather there. I rather think he paid girl Emily ran away from him once. The plaintiff for her (mother) to live down in Wanchal The
said Emily had run away and left him. He was came in to my room in the Club one night and then drunk. I don't remember him saying any thing more than that. I remember plaintiff saying to Emily onre-here is your jewellery don't you every enter my house again. The plaintiff told me he had settled the matter about the girl." He said he had paid for her to be sent to Tonkin, I know very well that between this woman (A Ngan) and Mrs. Goulbourn there were always disputes about the selling of children, I heard that the child had died from Mrs. Goulbourn or A Ngan. Mrs, Goulbourn and & Ngan come to my house and A Ngan, through Mrs. Goulbourn, asked me abou taking steps against Minhinnett for having outraged the child and for having caused the death of the child. I replied, "Owing to my friendly relations with the plaintiff I don't wish to take steps-you'd better go to another salicher." I was under pecuniary obligations to plaintiff that was why I did not like to procred against him, I don't know what the women did after that. I introduced you (deferd in) to Minhlaneth. I don't remem ber your (left) meeting the plaintiff more than ance or twice at my house. I brought the plain- tiff to defendant's office three or four times only. Beyond the mere fact of borrowing money I don't think you were friendly with plaintif I was In the Muonio. Club one night when the plaint ff ffered to loan you (defendant) $30,000. Plaintiff said I'm worth over $100 000. Any time you want it I can let you have $25,0:0 or $30,000. Defendant did not accept that offer. I thongst the offer of the loan was to be ass consideration to make bim (plaintiff) a Mason. Plaintiff said "you are a Passed Master and can do it easily."I was to second him. Defendant did not propose

The plain if knew, I think, that I was leaving the Colony in June, 1890, owing to financial embarrassments, He never gave me bint that he wruld take rction against me if I left the colony. I was declared a bankrupt in this Court, after I went in Australis. When I left the

Colony I owed you some money. The day before I left the colony for Canton (an a Sunday) 1 banded over to defendant a number of law books and everything that was in my office. I told him to take all that was in my place. I think they were all moved on the Sunday. I gave defendant a power of attorney to look after affairs. It-id Mis Goulburn and also told John Pitman about Minhinnert's affairs, in relation to the women. I did not tell the defendant about the affir-bout what Minhisnett had told me of his trouble with the gils I gave the defen- dant to and read that I had sufficient influence to prevent the pixieciff bringing any action on the P.note, Deferdant told me previously he was prepared to pay his part of the promisory note, I told Minbinnett about defendant's willingness to pay
but he always said, "let it go on never mind it," 1 went to Australia
from here. The first I heard of the conspiracy case was in a piper in Melbourne. The do fendant was then sentencrd. Capt. Williama of the Changsha told me the defendant bad been sentenced to six months-1 ld from what I know, had all the "evidence been before the Court, there would have been a different verdict." I told Capt. Craig in Melbourne that, bid I heen in Hongkong should have sworn that Mishinnall told me he did actually try to get into This little girl. I met Craig in Burke Street, Melbourne, and I said, it is a shame ! Captain Craig told me in Mel bourne, that he had instructions to bring me back to Hongkong if I wished to: come. That was on board his ship. I had a letter from Mr. Pitman asking me to come back and give evidence in this case, I don't think Williams Bald be bad instractions to bring me back, voks
A letter was then handed in, but withdrawn, from. Webber to defendant...
Continuing--I was employed by the municipal Council in Melbourne. The defendant and Capt Craige camelotomy private quarter in the Council buildings. . The defendant, said he wanted me to go back with him to Hongkong to give evid. Ence. I agreed. Came here and gave eridonco de bene esse. I'm now out on ball; having been charged with perjury. The defendant paid my paisage back to Hongkong. The sole object of zay visit to this colony was to give evidence in defendant's behalf. The defendant said to me in Melbourne."'if you know these things it is your duty to come back and give evidence.”. I came. Cross-examined arrived here in December, 1886, from London. Atterleaving Club Chambers I went to Stanley Street. All I know about an application to have me struck off the Rolls was what I heard from Mr. Francis himself,
R
the death of Mr. Pitman I recollected that I had
told him about the "Chop Dollar" and little girl affair. I may have stated in my de bene essa examination that I told Mrs. Goulbura and Mr. Goulburn about the scandal. I only know the name of the person from whom the seal (already produced) was obtained from hearsay. I may have the letter I received from the defendant while I was in Australia. will endeavour to find it. The letter produced to-day (ny letter) I saw yesterday. I don't remember what is to it.
His Lordship-I think we had better have the letter preduced.
Mr. Francis-Mr. Fraser-Smith is absent. (Defendant had gone out during the cross examination, and was seat for at once.)
Witness The letter will show for itself. Pressed as to the substance of the letter wit ness cald be thought it stated he would be able to give evidence against Minblenett.
At this point the afflaviin filed by the defen- dent in respect to the postponement of the suits connected with the promissory note were read out.
His Lordship Did the letter refer to the criminal prosecution or the civil sult for recovery of money?
Whiess-Italok It refers to the criminal care. At His Lordship's request witness tried to get the letter out of Mr. Frater-Smith's despatch box. But it being locked it was decided to produce the letter to-m©ZIOW,

This race elicited almost the greatest excle- ment shown during the day. The Kornõiums got away with light advantage, Kennedy setting a fast and strong stroke. The Thistis hung on tight, and the "field" was well up. After a quarter of a mile of wet had been left bebind, Master forged ahead and kept there, having a far stronger reserve than Kennedy's braves. Jackson in the Thistle threw up the sponge after about a mile, and the Lick might as well have done the same, for though her crew struggled marfully she passed the flagship Kiutfang about six lengths behind the winner.

Continuing, witness srid-I think it is per fectly correct that I told Capt, Craig that I thought it was hard on the defendant to be punished for charging rape upon the plaintiff. It don't think Capt. Craig offered to bring me up in order that I might give evidence In the $6 500 suit. Mr. Frater-Smith kept my certificates ar a solicitor and has them still, I think, ha got them for me while I was in Singaporr. When I went down to Minhinnett's house that night in February, 1888, and saw the woman with her beir down ber back, the trouble might have been about personal ill-treatment to the woman herself. But when the woman A Ngan and Mrs. Goulburn came to my office it was about the little girl. It was not in respect to any violence to the old woman. I often had business transactions with Mr. Goulburn
