The Judge ordered the books to be produced, and told witness that if these promissory notes were presented for payment it would be his duty to dishonor them, so far that he should first consult the Trustee in Bank ruptcy, otherwise he might be called upon to pay them twice. Witness: Will you give me that in writing, your Honor ? The Judge : No, I am going out of my way to give you the advice I have done. You can produce the ledger ; but the in dex only will be looked, at to see that there was no ledger account with Chester man. Joseph Kilgour was called, and gave similar evidence to the last witness. He denied positively that Chesterman ever had any interest, directly or indirectly, in the firm of Kilgour and Perotti, or in his (witness's) private business. Frederick B. Waters said : I am an hotel keeper, and knew Chesterman. 1 had no conversation with him aa to the sale of certain shares to Messrs Kilgour and Perotti. I recollect getting a chequa for LI 25 cashed for Chesterman at the Bank of New Zealand. I remember going to the Bank of New Zealand with a cheque for L 125, drew the money, and gave it to William Chesterman. He gave me the cheque in my parlor ; he remained there till I broxight back the money. The Judge : Why did he not go himself. Witness : I have not the slightest idea, your Honor ; he was writing at the time. lam sure I got notes for- the cheque, He simply said, "Will you go and get this cheque cashed," and I did so, and handed him the money. I had no conversation with him as to his future movements, and have not the slightest idea when he left town. I remember enquiries being made for him, and replies made that he was out shooting. I believed then that he was out shooting. I have no property of any description belonging to Chesterman, or books or papers, a- d never had any business transactions of any kind in my life of the most trivial character with him, and know nothing of two promissory notes made between him and Kilgour and Perotti.
