I have been ia gaol, but ltobert Graham did not put me in. I shall not state who put me in gaol. I dccliue to state whother I was tried by a jury of my countrymen. I shall not say whother F owe Atkins money. You said I owed Anderson £30. Am not certain whether you used my name. I said at a County Council meeting that you were a lunatic, and say so now, as I believe you to be of unsound mind ; I don't kttow whether any one went to a J.P. to get a warrant to put you in a lunatic asylum ; I told the magistrate you ought to be in the asylum ; I am not inclined to answer any questions as to what constitutes offensive j language. You were sober at the time. P. Mclniny, sworn, stated: lam a labourer, and remember the 13th inst. I was sitting on the beach when Mr McLeod came down. I hoard him say he had never been in gaol; nor had he ever any Govern ment mark on his clothing. He did not say lundon had any marks, but that he (Mc- Leod) 'had not,' By the Court: This occurred on the beach. I paid no particular attention to the conversation. I heard McLeod speak about gaol and R. Graham. He said, " You owe Atkim and Anderson money." Ido not remembor him saying Lundon had M.E.G. on his back. He said ' I never had the Govornmont mark on my coat;' he did not mention Lundon'a name. I would have struck any person using similar language to mo. Wm.
