gone round, and has ordered peope to do things which

the Inspector has not ordered them to do ?

20.100

A.

Yea, I have,

And do you think that the interpreters have thereby 20 CD Fquessed the public?

A.

Yes, sure..

/57

Do you think that that is very largely done ?

20107

That I could not say.

02 Q.

Do you know, as a matter of fact, that those interpres tern are often absent from their duty, when they ought

to be there?

or late no, but previously yea.

20105

And would you put that line of demarcation as to time down at about the same as the other ?

A.

Yes.

A.

Did the Inspectors ever report their interpreters ? Lowb

In some cases, reported to the Senior, and in other

cases they do not.

And why do they not report ↑

A.

I could not say.

You have got a very good reason to suppore so,

-

20105 you

A.

have a good clue to the reason. You know it, a man of intelligence going about yourself, you can gather the

reason of that.

If a man does not report the interpreter, he must have

some reason himself, but I could not say his reason.
