By Mr. O’Reilly—l never lent accused any money. I went to Mr. Crisp with a bill of sale ; no money had passed at this time. No one ever told me lie considered my case a swindle and he would have nothing to do ivith it. Gardiner never gave me a bill of sale, he gave me a paper to giA r e Mr. Crisp. I could not say if that paper stated the money was to be re payable in March. I gave no loan. I bought the horses from him. I don’t know of any interest being mentioned in the first document drawn up. I can’t read. I took the bill of sale to Mr, Crisp, and he said the document Avas no good as it Avas too late for registra tion. He read it out to me, and I can’t SAvear if there Avas any men tion of money in the deed. Mr. Crisp told me to get a proper bill of sale. Ho told me it Avould cost LG or L 7. He dreAv out another paper and told me if Gardiner signed it, the horses Avould be mine. Gardiner Avas not consulted in the matter. He signed it and said the horses Avere mine. lam sure the horses and plough Avere not Avortli Llso—the lot Avould be Avortli LBB. A new plough is Avortli LIG. I got a judgment in Court for delivery of the horses and plough ; Mr. Crisp after- Avards told me if I took the plough to Mr. Friedlander I would get the LSO, but I Avas to pay Mr. Crisp LlO out it. I Avould have taken the LSO but the lawyers Avanted too much out of it. Friedlander offered me LSO, I refused to take it bepauge I Avanted the horses, t Gardiner Avas committed for trial, but avq hold back the evidence to get to press.
