Q.--Can you suggest any doors or windows where they may get in?
A.-No; I don't know of any, and I have no reason to suppose there are any.
Q.-If you can recollect any names that have occurred in conversation, such as that of Mr. ROMANO, it is your duty to tell us.
A. People have never said anything definite. If they had I should remember it.
Q.-Hon. A. LISTER.-Do you think the Building Ordinance is strictly carried out now?
A.-Fairly well carried out, especially when Mr. NEATE was here. Perhaps it is not so strictly carried out now, because the person at present in charge is not so well acquainted with it.

A. Yes.
The Commission adjourns at 5 o'clock, until 5 o'clock on the 9th January.
