A. Yes.
Q. Was he alone ?
A. Yes.
Q. What did he say to you ?
A. He said "You are only telling lies. You promised to give, and you have not paid".
Have you any questions to ask this witness, Mr Kelly ?
He said it was a Thursday. He mentioned a Thursday. If he could remember that day, Thursday, surely to goodness he could remember somewhere about the date in May.
I don't remember the date. I remember going that day, Thursday.

Q. Are you a sub-contractor for limewashing ?

Towards the end of the 4th moon, that is about the middle of May, or a little later perhaps.
Q. Does he keep any books in regard to this limewashing ?
A. No.
Q. Does he know when the limewashing was finished ? Is it Western Street ?
A. New West Street.
The Interpreter:-
I think it is Western Street.
It must be. Has he got any entries, or anything to show where that was limewashed ?
