Later, the witness was freely questioned by the jury with regard to the tardiness of his appearance in the case, and he explained that he had reported the matter to Mr. Black much

Mr. Black was recalled and questioned by the jury, and he. said the matter escaped his recollection until yesterday, when Mr. Hazlerigg was making enquiries. Mr. Moosa had spoken to him some time ago. He took notes, and these were found locked in a drawer at the Treasury yesterday.
