Cannon, who appeared to give evidence on behalf of the defence. said that ho could not identify the defendant as the man he had examined in the gaol, unless he had his clothes off

In order to meet this unlooked for contingency, the Magistrate ordered the man to go to the room adjoining the Court and there to disrobe so that the Doctor. might see him.

When Doctor Cannon' returned from his inspection, he said that he recognised the man, but he had grown stouter since. the last time he saw him.

Do you think the bruises could have been self-inflicted 7--No.

Can you give some idea as to what weapon was used?-It would certainly be a bluntish weapon. The bruises on the leg would bo caused by a bluntish and hard weapon probably a big round ruler.

Would the bruises on the chest be caused by the same object?— No, they would be caused by some- thing softer, such as a flat.
