ISS : do you have any trouble ?

He-hee, not much. You have not had any trouble ?

I mean no. No.

Mas-He made presents in this connection or how is it you haven't had trouble? That was the only occasion I had trouble.

And that was the only occasion he ever made presents ?

About limewashing ? Yes.

Have you, has he ever given presents about other work ? Yes.

What sort of work ? About putting up chimneys and about blocking up rat holes.

And to whom did he give the presents ? To Lambeth.

Lambeth was the inspector on the particular occasion ? Yes.

Did he give many presents ? Some.

His Excellency : Are there any other questions you wish to ask ? (then to Conolly) Yes, sir.

You have already told the Council you have visited my house. Where do I live? - About the corner house near the Sailors' Home.

You say "Lambell came with you"? Yes.

Is that so ? Yes.

You have also told the Council you have paid me $20 in bank notes in an envelope ? Yes.

The entry I have here is $25. Only $20.

Now, gentlemen, I must ask you to consider it. This man has told you I received $20 and I am charged with having received $25, which is a deliberate falsehood.

Hon. Mr May: The $25 on the charge appears to be a clerical error.
