A Promise
In anewer to Mr. Lloyd, witness aaid he remembered seeing Mr. Lloyd after the summonses were Issued and he also recalled toll- ang Mr. Lloyd Lhit in future he would conflue his fermentation to five days. He explained to the Court that this promise was given in view of the fact that it was hot weather now and that it was possible to complete the fermenta. tion in five days.
Arising out of the answer given by the defendant that he had no time to produce the 130 gallons at- tributed to him, witness explained that he had five stills in the dis- tillery, but that only three or four were worked every day. Working eight hours, one still would be able to turn out 10 jars, which was about 300 calics. The 130 gal lons amounted to 900 catties, which would take three
stilla eight hours each to produce. Wit ness, explained that the charges were that the extru 130 gallons were produced between June 3 and 5. He said that June 3. was Sunday and was therefore a holiday on which no work was dong. On Juce 4 he produced 340 catties, which were" properly en- tered, as was the amount pro- duced on June 5.
Witness said that he started work at seven in the morning and contended that he had no time to distill 130 gallons between that time, and the time the Revenus Officer arrived, which was usually before nuon.
Mr. Lloyd pointed out that ha had two days, to do it in.
Witness in answer to further questions said that he slept on the premises of the distillery, which never worked at night.
