I was there about a contract for shifting the store and tho goods, about which Woh Op had spoken to mo. There wero a s,toro and a store room, a kitchen and a sleeping apartmont. The store and the bedroom wero separated only by goods piled up ; so wero the store and the store-room. There was-but one door to the place; but there was an outlet, withoiit a door. That outlet was between the kitchen and the ■ store-room. There was either a bag or some calico, rolled up, to cover the opening—nothing more. There was a door between the store and tho bedroom; it was made of green baize, or green baize and calico. Thoro was nothing to prevent anyone getting from tho bedroom out of" tho building, at the back. By Mr Smith : 1 shiftod this store from Gabriel's to the place on which it stood. I swear that there was an opening at the back, through the kitchen ; I went out through it on the 7th June. lam con fident that that there was no door-—I saw the calico and baize rolled up, that was put there to be dropped down at night, to keep the wind out.. I never went to that opening but the once I have spoken of; but whenever'l was at the place, I could see through tho opening, and see the bank or hill. I more than once saw the t men bring in firewood by that opening; I am quite certain it was not closed by a doov. ,

John Edward Pope (recalled): I was in Woh Op's store on the Monday after the assault' upon Harbord. A- person who was with me, wanted a light; and hear ing the Chinese gambling by "knocking about,the little balls," I went in from mere curiosity. I went into what I call a back place, where the men were ; and I noticed an opening that was simply closed by a bag. I was minded to pass through the opening, to get out. By Mr Smith : I was not in the place more than a minute; 1 was glad to get out again. The bag or canvas was not rolled \ip when I was there; it appeared to mo to be fastened at the" top, and loose on each side.
