Inspector H. J. Knight states as follows:-

On this Sunday at 1 p.m. on passing the

complainants' shop, I first met the male complainant and then

the female complainant. This was in the street. I asked them

why they had not been to see me lately and suggested that the

lady should take my chair and that I and her husband should walk.

We all went up to my house, and went on to the verandah. They

stayed some time and went away. I called at their house in the

evening. When she was up in my house she promised to get me a

girl who was to come up to my house that evening.When I went

into No. 40 she was not there. She came from the house opposite.

She went back again and I went after her. I did not chase her

into No. 45 as she suggests. I went back to her house but did

not upset anything. I did not put out the light as suggested. I

went to No. 40 East Street because I have known the two com-

-Plainants between 5 and 6 years. I do not know whether the

female complainant went out by the back door of No.
