Sercombe Smith:-

It is very complicated that.

Mr. Atkinson:-

Well, first of all, did he say that he made this entry, before the Commission?

A.

Well, what I said was that I gave him $10, but I don't remember when it was.

Q.

No, but before the Commission, I want.

Well, I was asked at the Commission, and I said I gave him $10.

Kelly:-

But didn't he say when he was talking to you (Mr. Ball) that "I was told to say so"?

He did not say he was told to say so, but what he said was that one of his friends had said he had done so.

Would it not be better to ask the reporter to read his reply, in which he said something about having made a statement before the Commission, to that effect.

(Evidence read over).

Kelly, have you any questions to ask this witness? Do you remember the 10th June, the time you are supposed to have paid me this money?

A.

I don't remember the date.

Q.

Did he pay it to me in the house, or in the street, where?

A.

You came up and I remember a bit that it was in the kitchen.

Mr. Thomson:-

Don't you remember the thing properly?

I have got a great deal of business to attend to, I remember a bit about it.

Q.

That is all, sir.
