ROBERT HENRY CRAIG states.-I am Assistant Superintendent at Victoria Gaol.

I visited the Gaol about 10.15 p.m. on the night of the 28th June, 1901.

I was wearing soft slippers. On entering the subway on the way to the temporary Hospital I heard a commotion in the ward of the temporary Hospital. I hurried up the steps.

I saw a Prisoner going towards his bed. He threw himself on his bed.

Warder Peak went to the end of the ward and took his boots from under a table and put them on.

I then called him to a window, and I saw then that he was under the influence of drink.

I saw that he was unsteady in his gait and he smelt strongly of liquor.

I then sent for the Orderly Officer, Principal Warder McLeod.

Before sending for McLeod I asked Peak if the hospital was all correct and why there was such irregular conduct as a prisoner running about in front of him.

Peak made no distinct reply but merely mumbled the number of prisoners whom he had in hospital.
