THE HOGAN CABE..

We take the following report from the Singa. pore Free Pressr of August 236—-

The cross-examination of Mr. 1. L. Coghlan was continued before Mr. Colman yesterday by Mr. W. A. N. Wattenberg.

Str. Coghlan mid he had been a valuer for eventeen years jointly with auctioneering. His pfiqcipal valuing transactions were in respect to hod. Mosirs. Towell & Co., with whom he had worked, advertised themselves as "and agents and valuers. He had been always known as a stock auditor and valuer. He had dons work for the Tanjong Pagar Company, going through their stock and machinery, and hadivalued Howarth, Erskine's plant. He had never been employed in an engineering firm, „The usual method of valuing was that a list of the machinery, containing technical particulars was given him and he filled in the value he considered each item worth. He would be skown round hy a foreman and afterwards compare the lists with the monthly published | lists of second-hand machinery. He noted the age of any particular machine, its order and cleanness, Finally he mads out the price a article would fetch if sold at auction. On the occasion he valued Hogan & Co.'s machinery it was then mostly working. The person who showed him rougd was Mr. Hogan. He allowed for wear and tear, There were many little things which made considerable difference in prices. He had made valuations of machinery "thousands of times.” He had also valued scrap heaps. In Laking-into consideration-the-present-valuation be received a list from Mr. Smellie describing the machinery, He could not but remember Mr. Hogang ve him another list. There

were two fals. One list did not contain refer- ence to a punching and shearing machine un- derthe beading "Boilermakers," He remem bered one item in which a belt driven machine Bad been altered into an engine 'driven mac- chine. The list he had had included every. thing on the-premises. It included "every- thing generally," He did not think anything escaped him 'e could not tie himself down to a pin's head.
