I did not see him again until next morning. By Mr Joynt ; I had received the money from various people during the day for fish wbich I sold. I arrived in Rangiora on,. Thursday. evening., i T had £6 9s 6d'when, F* got up on Friday morning. I slop at the Masonic Hotel_on the Thursday night. There. was half a sovereign amongst the silver in my trousers pocket. On Friday morning, I told - Mr Wild, of the Masonic Hotel, when he.,', tendered bis bill, that I had no money, but that*^ was only a joke. He -demanded payment*— for my night's lodging, and I paid him 6s 6d. I was under the influence -of drink on Thurs day nigl ifc, and, being unwell, ' I commenced I drinking as soon as I gofc up. - 1 had one & nobbier at the Masonic Hotel and another at ; the Kaikainui, but Ido not remember having '■■ any more on tbe way between Kaiapoi and the Carlton. I think it was about four o'clock when we got to the- Carlton.. It was not dark hor dusk^bufc daylight. 'I could not say how long I lay on the ground when I fell in the Carlton yard. I fell a second time, when returning to the cart. It was the first time that I fell when prisoner -robbed me. It was immediately after I" felL- • rl, was lying on toy side, and I distinctly saw prisoner rob me. I did .not see any; person : about. : The kitchen windows of the Carlton look out on to the yard, and it was not dark when I was robbed. I do not know whether ; anyone else saw prisoner. Ido not knQW how long I lay in fche yard, bufc Mr Harris caused me to be taken into his saddle-room, and I did not go home until eleven o'clock. Ido nofc remember spending more than ls 6d on the road to Christchurch. I had £6. ■*. 3s I left Rangiora. The only way I have of knowing whafc money was in my pocket when prisoner robbed me was by deducting what I spent on the road from whafc I had when I left Rangiora. Ido nofc remember spending more on the road than I have stated.
