Now, Chan A Chi, you came before us some time ago, and 22887

you gave evidence which was not at all satisfactory, and I told you to come back at next Meeting. What did you mean by not coming up, when I told you to come

back?

I dont care what business you had. Your business is here. What did you mean by going away, when I told you

to come here ?

I gave directions to the foki to come up.

That has nothing to do with it at all. You came here, 22 570

and I told you to come up here at our next Meeting, and

you had the impudence to go away from the colony. What

do you mean by it - by going away for a month?

1

No, it was not a month, it was only 12 days.

I dont care whether it was 12 days or a month. It was 127,

the best part of a month. What did you mean by going

away,

when I told you to come before the Commission • Well, I had some matter to go home to.

Your matter was here. I ordered you to come up here, 22852

and you did not come. Now, do you know that I can send

you to gaol for three months for that, for contempt of the Commission ? We had three meetings in the interval, and I told you to appear at our next Nesting, threa days after the time you appeared before us, and instead

of that, you went up country, and have been away for a

month.

A.

It was only 12 days.
