But the complaint is against Inspector Conolly for assault, and the sentence is "severely reprimanded and

station changed".

Inspector Conolly.

Apparently a wrong entry has been made in this book, 14927 and you have not seen it. It was left to the Chinese clerk to record this, and he has been, and recorded it against the complainant instead of the defendant.

It was the foreman.

I should like to see the papers in connection with the

matter. I dont remember the incident well.

What I want to get at, is whether a Chinese clerk can 14929 enter what he likes in that book. That is the point.

A.

No, it was the foreman.

I cant remember the papers in connection with it.
