but it was on the morning of 22nd July 12 that to supervise
codlies work in the rough weather I went out on duty at 2 a.m.
and after completing my work at 7.30 a.m. Magazine Gap road
near the Firs, where the Hill district ends and wonce the
abmy
Town is abast 20 minutes walk, and when all the coolies
finished their work and returned to Victoria, I came down
to town, (a) to buy some th food steff from the market as
there is nothing to be obtainable on the Peak, as Sir you
know very well, (B) to ask Inspector Fisher for a new diary
as my old diary was going to finish, and for which I asked
him on the 17th July 1912, to which he replied came for it
the day before it will finish and I met him near diary fart
at about 7.50a.m. and asked him for the diary and he replied
+ bether last year old diary till wednesday the 24th July 12,
then I will give you new one and so he did, and no work has
suffered on this date.
"Therefore I beg to ask your kindness as to dismiss the
the 1st charge on the ground, that on the 23/7/12, I have
performed my duties actually, and you are misinformed, which
I think always these Inspectors do.
Further I am very sorry, that instead of taking in to view my
hard work in this district and the longer hours of my duty
which I am always performing and when visiting this district
he Inspector Fisher has caused me to perform, as he asked ne
→
to come on duty 2 or 3 hours early to accompany and point him
out the complained places he has only taken in-to view that
I finished my work few minutes early and had complained to
you while anyhow I was right in doing so,
and as he Inspector Fisher visited the Peak district on
the a following dates, I have preformed my duties follow-on
these dates, and for which he never gans gave me any time
off for the over hours work.
4th January 1912 from 3a.m. to 8 a.m., and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
19th.
