DIFFERENT STORIES,

There were two slight difficulties in the story as told by the witnesses for the Crown. One was that the two Chinese both said that, when the affair occurred they were walk- ing towards the water tap." The Indian guards, however, said it happened when the deportees were returning to their quarters. Soch Cescrepancies occurred even in true stories, and he considered · that these were unimportant. Whether the jury decided that either wide was mistaken, or whether they would not be able to make up their minds on the point, he suggested it was of no serious consequence.

The other difficulty was as to the way in which the four men went on deck that morning. The two Chin- witnesses said they and the third man went..on deck together without the defendant; the Indian guards and the four men went on deek together, and the prisoner himself said he went alone.

It

PRISONER'S STORY.

The prisoner's story spoke of his being attacked by four men, while the Crown said there were only four, men altogether. The guard at the door, who let the men out would say that another man was going out, but he (the guard) made him wait until the others returned. When the trouble started, however, he made
