Mt. Tumer: Are you a member of the Phoenix Club?

Mr. d'Almada objected that this did not concern the case.

Mr. Turner said that he had looked up the point carefully, and he was quite entitled in cres-esarining to ask what questions he chose.

The Magistrate: You are going to question him as to his character?

Mr. Turner Tes, I am entitled to.

Replying to the Magistrate the

witness said that he had been a mem ber of the Club bat l-ft it about four months ago.

Mr. Turner: "Why?"

Mr. d'Almada: He was asked to resign after an altercation with A- other member if that is what my friend wants to know.

Mr. d'Almada again "raised an objection.

The Magistrate allowed the quese tion but said that he would pay no attention to it as evidence.

The Magistrate: Had Captain Bentley got a stick?

Inspector Moore: No, your Wor- ship. I asked him where the site was and he sail he dropped it in the struggle and had not picked it up.

Mr. D'Almada: The Captain ad- uits that he had a stick, but had not time to use it.

Inspector Moore added that Capt. Bentley wished to make a charge, and the defendant was given $50 bail.

The Magistrate: What was the defendant's condition?

The Inspector: He was quite

sober: he was excited.

He told very much the same story as he has told in Court to- day? Yes, the same.

Mr. Turner objected to the ad-| mission of statements made in the Station as the speakers were Bot cautioned and their words were not taken down. Addressing the Magis tate, Mr. Turner suggested that
