Liquor Sales.

Mr. Hugh Jones: What do you think is the most paying part of the cafe? I should say the liquor port.

Were you particularly anxious to push the liquor part?-No.

When people come into the cafe do you consider it good business to sell as much wine and as many drinks as possible? They get what they ask for.

Did you make a boust that night that you had sold $200 worth of champagne for Mr. Taylor?--Most cortainly not.

Supposing a witness comes and says so?—I should say the witness was lying. How could I sell $200 worth of wine? This is a cafe, not a cabaret. I don't take wine round on a tray.

Mr. Hugh Jones: There is such a thing as the art of salesmanship? I don't know what you, mean. Did you first ask Madame Flint for a letter? No. I knew she couldn't write one.

Champagne Business. Mr. Taylor said that in view of the serious allegations made at

the

a police court either here or clsc-previous hearing regarding

amount of drink he had he thought it was incumbent upon himself to prove that he was not, given to drinking to excess. He asked whe- ther he could call Dr. Black who examined him.

Mra. Taylor was then called, and she spoke of how Mr. Durand abused her and subsequently kicked her. She said he kicked her in the stomach and that she was told to get out of the cafe. She in- timated that she was waiting for the letter which had been promised. I

Mr. Durand also pushed her while she was in the lobby and aimed two other kicka which brusk ed her dress. She persisted about the letter, and Mr. Durand called Madame Landau, who was sitting in the lobby, to go upstairs and write two letters, one for Mrs Taylor and one for her husband.

Mr. Lindsell pointed out that he had told Mr. Taylor before that he could subpoena Dr. Black.

fr. Taylor said he did not think it necessary at that time, but had been trying to see Dr. Black that day. In view of the police evid- ense, however, he was prepared to waive it.
