A.

The Chairman:-

心

I am sorry to ask you to come again, but it is a

question with regard to the last Meating you were

here.

20914

At that weeting, ur Chatham, I was asking you some

questions in regard to section 175 of the Ordinance,

- a suppositious case, and I put a case to you, still, at the same time a case that may happen

any day, almost, and you are reported by the reporter

as having given no answer. Now, my impression was

་

that at first you gave no answer, and then subseq- nently on being, pressed, you said "It might amount to that". Wow, I will quote to you exactly what the question was. (question quoted from evidence). You are reported here as having given no answer. wy impression is that you hesitated a little, and said "It might amount to that".

I cannot recollect.

20915

As a matter of fact I think, Mr Chatham, you did make

that answer. Mr Humphreys did speak to me about it,

and I think the best way would be for Mr Humphreys to

repeat the question now, and ask you what you think

you did say.

Mr Humphreys repeats question.

A.

On the face of the case stated, the effect, would be tha'

the man had lost his $20,000.

Yr Shelton Hooper:-

If these figures are correct.
