lengthy cross- examination, Mr. Remedios several times spoke sharply to witness and told him he was not in the witness-box to make sug- gestions but to answer questions.

a much more congenial atmosphere. I do not mind the manner i which the. délence is being conducted but I strenuously object to my client being cut off short in his answers, Mr. Remedios: I am conducting this defence. My question is a simple one and I shall ask what I like.

Mr. Remedios put it to witness that he had given the defendant the goods on December 29; that there was no question of his mis- trusting him, and that he did not ask for cash for the goods. All this witness denied.

DOCUMENT PRODUCED Mr. Remedior then handed a document" dated December 29 which, he claimed, showed that the goods had been bought on that date. This, witness said, was due to a mistake in writing on the part of an assistant.
