I had the boy taken out of the water and placed on the wharf, and some man cut his clothes off. I held the child over the wharf, and two quarts of water and a lot of food came up. Its face got dark. I Bf>nt for a blanket and wrapped the boy up. The tide was coming in at the time, and that made me more anxious to get him, in case it should take him back again. They told me the police would interfere. I did not know what to do at first, but I thought I could not do any harm. I asked Mr Wakeford to take him up, but he would not. Mr George Crawford stood there and looked, and thought it would be all right. There were twenty or thirty people there. I jumped down higher than the door. I asked thom to take the child out of the water, and they hesitated on account of the police. They Baid the police would interfere if they touched the child. I asked several. I kept crying to them to take the child out of the water. I asked Mr Oraw ferd, and he said he thought I might venture to take the child out of the water. He said he thought I might have it taken out of the water He stood there looktngafcnjo. None helped until I called Lingard down off the bank. They did not take any active measures to have the child removed. Upon Mr Crawford giving his opinion that the child might be removed from the water, Wakeford and Lingard moved it and placed it on the wharf. I had the clothing cut and rolled the child on the wharf on its stomach, and sent for blankets. The deceased never showed any signs of life. The body was cold, but the back was rather warm. The wba^f is only used by fishermen and as a play place for children. There was a steamer there laefc week. This is not the first child that has been drowned there. It would be better if a fence were placed across the wharf to prevent children from getting on ifc. By Sergeant Monaghan : I should think quite five minutes elapsed after I came down before the ehild was taken out of the water.
