Mr Bannister was over at my place, and he spoke about
my house. He asked me how it was built. I had not
originally much money. There was a plan draw ~fterwards
and the contractor when he made the window made it
five inches shorter than the plan. The man from the

the overseer, and asked the Architect, whether it woula do to have it five inches shorter, and the two said it
would do. The light was sufficient. The Sanitary Board

give $25 to the man who drew the plan for me. He said,
ha did not want it, but I could not let it pass.

Well, the house was low, This (witness illustrating with his hands) is the kitchen here. One side had fallen down, but the other
day he put some tiles on to cover it, and at the side he put some hoards like a wall, and cooked there. Then the police issued a paper to him, saying that the boards was a breaking of the law. Then, he was told to come over, and have the case tried, and then, when the case
