impropriety on Mr. Alim Khan's part.

Early in December I left office.

Cross-examined by lir. Alim Khan.

The woman's case was very poor. The case was a poor one. I never said you could give them a receipt: I may have said they should have had a receipt; but I meant a receipt from the shroff.

I don't know if you gave receipts. I did not know you were in the habit of taking fees in advance. I must say you were very good and very obliging.

Mr. Alia Khan now states.

Mr. Niabet had knowledge of the practice that I was putting through these pauper cases and receiving fees in advance; he had full knowledge of the fact that I was handling cash monies in the Registry not only in small amounts but up even to 31,200. He knew of the difficulty of completing these poor cases so far as security! was concerned and he knew many were outstanding for a long time for want of security; he always acquiesced in leaving these cases to be dealt with and put through as I liked. He knew that at the time the November Circular was issued I had been receiving fees in advance; he never told me r. Fletcher had reported to him the fact that I had been receiving money in advance: he never enquired, at that time or at any time, if I had any cash balances in these

pauper cases. I was ignorant of the fact that Kr. Metcher had

made any report to Mr. Nisbet. When Mr. Fletcher spoke to me in an advisory mairer he said that some thing ought to be done to prevent the public thinking that they were being squeezed and suggested that if a receipt was given for the fees paid by these poor people they would feel quite content; the word receipt being mentioned in its general sense and I not knowing if Mr. Fletcher meant an official or private receipt I adopted a system of giving them a

rough receipt on a blue slip of paper and I also entered in the

file a note of the fact of payment. The November Circular was

issued by Mr. Nisbet after a report made to him by me after the

Dutch Consul making a trouble about a receipt for stamps paj able

on a copy of a document from the Registry. I told him that if we
