The Honourable W. H. MARSH, Colonial Secretary, is examined,-
Q.-Hon. A. LISTER.-We only want to ask you one question Sir, and that is, if you can give us any idea how that information came into Mr. FRASER-SMITH'S hands?
A.-No, I cannot give you any information at all.
Q.-You have no idea whether it was from the Colonial Secretary's Department or not?
A.-No; it was either from my department or the Surveyor General's, it is impos- sible to say which.
Q-Hon. F. B. JOHNSON.-Through whose hands had it to pass after it came up to your office?
A.-Oh, through a number of hands. There is a Registrar in the Office to whom it would go, then it would come to me, then go to the Governor, then back to the Registrar, and then to the clerk who writes the letter; it would go to Mr. SETH and then to the clerk who writes the letter.
