I went up to the inspector's house. I sat down and I asked the inspector what it was, what the matter was. He spoke in English and I did not understand him particularly. He pointed to the stairs. I said "There is no plan" and he nodded his head. I said there was no plan and no permission granted and I asked him to instruct me what to do. Then he spoke in English and I did not know what he said. Then he took his hands and he put out two fingers and five on top of that and I said to him "Want $25 for making the plan, eh?" He nodded his head. Then I went back. Then a few days after I took $25 up to him. When I had given it to him, I returned.
Mr. May:
Where did you give it to him?
In his house.
Where was his house?
In High Street.
Was there anyone present?
There was no one present.
When did you give him this money?
His Excellency:
Somewhere about 15th of the 8th moon the year before last -- after that day.
(13th September 1885.)
And did you get the plan?
No.
Did you hear anything more about the staircase?
I heard nothing.
Was the inspector dealing with you at that time?
No.
And he was not dealing with you at Christmas time?
No.
Why did you give him the present of fowls at Christmas?
I gave them to him because I wanted the plan made and it had not been done, and I wanted it to be hurried up.
Did you say anything about the plan when you gave him the present of the fowls?
