Ashton was then accused of re- ceiving two £1 notes as un induce- ment to antedale papers. He replied, "That is correct," and added, "Am I to take all the blame?"

Ringer was again cautioned, said Mr. Ball, and he replied, "Allegations have been made against me and must take the blame." A bar steward was called and one of the £1 notes was found among his bar money. Ringer said that he gave the note to a sergeant to get a bottle of beer and cigarettes.

No money was found on Ringer or in his office, it was stated.
