A week ago, upon being taken to Gordon Road police station, and there asked to pick cut from 24 or 25 men the two foreigners of whom he complained, he recognized Bal-chin and picked him out. He did not pick out Gabbutt.
Mr. Macleod—Are you quite sure that Gabbutt is the short foreigner' of whose beating you complain?
Witness—I am sure now.
Mr. Macleod.—Why could you not! pick out last week?
Witness—Because on that day my lawyer was not with me. A foreigner passed me up and down twice, quickly, and accused had a hat on and kept it very low, so that I could not know him. Also, thought if I made a mistake I should be beaten again.
Mr. Macleod—At any time when you confessed did you say whom you had taken the money from?
Witness—Yes. I said that when Prosser came in to tiffin and hung up his coat I thought I heard the sound of dollars, and that I searched his pockets and found notts.
Mr. Reader Harris—You charge these men with beating and torture ing you. Are you perfectly certain you have told the court of every occasion on which they either beat tortured you?
Witness—Yes, Mx. Reader Harris—You halve not forgotten anything?
Witness—How can I have forgotten?
Mr. Reader Harris-I do not know. But you are sure you have told everything?
