It was the fact that the load was being surveyed that made him apply for it and his.application reached the Government first. The company then declined to bid for the land.

Mr. Bellies-Yes, I told Mr Bell-Trying, Mr. Franchi-Me. Hell-Irwing is not a Jew, Mr Beillio-Bai this is intimation enough. Mr. Francl-Have you told any of the Jews ? Mr. Bellor I did not tell them myself, cir- tainly not.
Mi. Francia-Is there anything in the letter to | Mr. Bell-Irving about wanting an approach or
right-of-way ?
|

Mr. Belillon-No, bat there is more than that, Mr. Francis-When there people came to you on 13th March did they nel sak" you what your objection was to giving them the whole of 1381 and ask you how much you wanted from it ?`
Mr. Balilias told them I WAI approach

Mr. Francis-Did they then express their willingness to oblige pissible and ask you how much you wanted ?
Mr. Bellion They proposed to give ma right-of-way.
Mr. Franels-Was not it that they were wi12- fag to give you for your purpose as much as you reasonably wasted ?
Mr. Blllos-They simply stated that they would give me a right-of-way. That was not enough for my purpose.
Mr. Francis There was a meeting at the architect's office, was there met?
Mr. Bellies-Yes.
M Francis After diansalon and a great deal of conversation I think they were willing to give you 25,05 k. P
Mr. Bello-They were willing to take that They were willing to take balf of 1381 and a portion of 1381.
Mr. Francis-Was anything said at that meeting about 1382 or was it inler ?
Mr. Belllas-A1 crapped up at the same time. Mr. Framla-Did you not loslat upon that they should pay the cost of the retaining wall ? Was not that you first demanded ?
Mr. Belos-Not demand, becaurs by taking portion of 138alt was necessary to build a re- infoleg wall.
Mr. Francis-Bid you not put it as a condiilon that they should pay the cost of the wall ?
Mr. Bellos-No, hall,
Mr. Francis-Was not Mr. Danby asked, there and then, what he estimated the cost of the ratalning wall?
Mr. Bellos-After conferting with Mr. Orange
Mr. Francis-What was his estimate'?... Mr. Bellas-$1,200. Mr. Francis-They were perfectly willing to pay half of that?
Mr, Belillos they were prepared to give $1,000 Mr. Francia-You refused to accept that estimate as a sale or indifactory one and suggested that the exact cost of the retaining wall should be worked out by Mesir. Danby and Orange
Mr. Helltor-Yes.
-
Mr. Frinds-When they worked out the estimule of the cost of the ritalning wall what did it fora out to be ?
Mr. Belllies-I got a letter some aime in the latter part of Murch with plans, etc., that the
alning wall would cost $9,000. Mr. Francis-You required them to pay half of that?
Mr. Bellas-Yes, certainly. Mr. Francis-Surely when they offered to pay balf the cost not exceeding $1,000 it was solely with reference to the estimate of $1,400?
Mr. Belillos-Iwas still willing to give the site but would have nothing to do with the manage- ment. Continuing he said that was his staic of mind till January 18 h. When speaking with Mr. Silas the question of fands cropped up and Mr. Sila asked what was the area of the land and the price paid for it. That was regarding the whole lot. Witness sent, him corrected figures on the subject from Mr. Mona' books. Mr. Silas might have asked him about keeping the land for the Jewish commonly for a year, but he could not have agreed. It would be an sbsurdity or madness. It was not in his power to do so. That was because be had agreed with -the Government in regard to there, three sites that he would spend $28,000 in erecting dwell legs, making them babfable and ralcable within 18 months. If he had agreed to keep the land Mt. Francis-1 ask you again, Mr. Bellos, for 12 months it would have been impossible for and I ask you to remember that the architects, him to have erected these dwellings and made Mesars.

Mr, Francis-About what date did you apply for that extension of time ?
Mr. Bellilus- was only recently. It is on record.
Mr. Francis-Is it since this suit commenced Mr. Beillio-Yez
Mr. Francis-is it not quite a usual thing for the Government to grant such extension of time If there is reason for it?
Mr. Bellfos-Only under extraordinary ·ċ'r- Cometa cès.
Mr. Francis-Have you ever written any letter er note to Mr. Silas telling him expressly ihai you would keep the lot for a year for the com munity?
Mr. Belillos-Yes, I signed the leiter of Bib March mysult.

I see the local paper has obtained a fairly correct rendering of them, which is opposted by my Information, and I therefore append it: -
