Yes.

You referred to an incident called the Bugs Bunny incident.

MR. FRENCH: What is the answer?

This was some festivity, was it?

A+

That's right. It was a Chinese New Year's fair.

Q.

For a joke you did this?

A.

For a joke. I have a sense of humour.

Q.

A.

"You should have seen him. He had to go all the way back again to get

another and it would take the poor sod hours." Is that right?

Yes.

Wasn't there a time when you were a C.I.D. officer when you borrowed

a hear recording machine?

A.

Yes.

Q:

What did you do that for?

A.

To make him believe it was a lie detector.

Q.

And did you then con him into thinking that?

A.

Oh yes, yes.

Q. And he then made a confession, did he?

A.

To the best of my knowledge, yes.

Q. Did you tell the court about that when you took him to court?

A.

I didn't take him to court.

Q. Even though you had a confession from him?

A.

No, I didn't take a confession.

Q.

The man you put in the fridge- it happened frequently what did you tell the court; that that had happened?

--

A.

No.

Q.

Why not?

A.

Q.

I was never asked about it. Anyway, it took place about 15, 16 years ago. You only used to lie then and not now?

A.

Pardon?

0.

You only lied then and not now?

A.

I beg your pardon, I am not lying now, Mr. Scrivener. I have told you

the truth.

Q.

When you had taken a suspect, put him in the fridge and taken him

out again, you didn't tell the court because you weren't asked?

A. No, because I didn't have anything to do with the case.
