Mr molten Hespert-

You told him he need net.

That is the whole point.

There is the crux of it. The aux of it is that the

Chairman of the Commission cannot rule a question of a

brother Commissioner out of order.

I did not rule your question out of order. The

question was put, and appears in the netes.

But for another Commissioner to tell a witness that he

need not answer it, - of course, but how could I

enforce it, in faqe of your decision.

Then I will go to see the Colonial Begretary, I will

go and see him tomorrow.

The other point is with regard to your question at

last Meeting, and there is a matter of opinion. Now,

when Dr Pearce was examined, it is that question. (page 1606, midway down the page). I maintain that I

did not use the word Chlorodina. I said Sulphate

Dioxide, and the answer to that would have been 32. When we were going through that, you objected to that

being altered.

I said put it in the next motes, but it has not

appeared in-the next notes following.

I put it to the Attorney General, and he said "certainly, if a witness says he did not say such a thing, or if a Commissioner says he did not use these words, and the answer does not agree with the words or

reputed words rather,

Why not put it now ?

Why not out it out ?

When you are talking quiokly, you may have had som8-

thing else in your mind. Han åt not happened to you ?
