Mr. Alabaster continued in Home difficult to hear to mention something to the effect that he would not have the last word in the case, since he had signified that he would call more than one witness, and he should not be de prived of the opportunity of deni- ing with any such suggestion at the right time.

Sir Henry Gollan:-I can see no reason to stop it. You will course have the right to make any comment in regard to it at the right time.

The incident then closed, and Mr. Jenkin resumed his cross- examination in regard to the books. Why did you not tell Chan Chaa to complete the records? Thos know I was doing it myself. They would not meddle.

FURTHER QUESTIONS.

Other replies made by accused

to Mr. Jenkin were as follows:-

The provisions accounts showed decrease in 1922 as compared with the previous year.

This was due to the fact that he aid not entertain friends in the premises in 1922.

The cessation of this hospitality was due to there being no accom modation, owing to the number of apprentices employed in that later period.

He had stated once to his own counsel, and twice to cross-examin- ng counsel, in yesterday's evi- dence that he employed only two apprentices in 1922.

Now he gave the name of a third apprentice, as being employed in that same period. He had neglect- ed to mention this third man pre- viously, because it did not occur to him then to give amongst the mum- Ler an employee who was not in receipt of any pay and whose name was consequently not entered in his accounts books.

At this stage the Court rose for the timu interval The hearing was resumed in the afternoon.
