A.

It is finished.

Did anyone object to it?

No, no one.

When did the inspector commence dealing with you - about what?

I am not sure. I must look at my book to know the date.

Mr. Thomson:

A.

When about was it? the first month, the second month or the seventh month?

I can't remember so much, I have got a great many accounts.
