Sercombe Smith:-
It is very complicated that.

Kelly:-
But didn't he say when he was talking to you (Mr. Ball) that "I was told to say so"?
He did not say he was told to say so, but what he said was that one of his friends had said he had done so.

Kelly, have you any questions to ask this witness? Do you remember the 10th June, the time you are supposed to have paid me this money?
A.
I don't remember the date.
Q.
Did he pay it to me in the house, or in the street, where?
A.
You came up and I remember a bit that it was in the kitchen.
Mr. Thomson:-
Don't you remember the thing properly?
A.
I have got a great deal of business to attend to, I remember a bit about it.
Q.
That is all, sir.
