I money from, Gerry?" and premier said his daughter
emit it him.—Primuer : What odds was it to you,
where I got it I—Witness ountioned that he sent Miss
Rogers to prisoner's wife, to make enquiries whether
his statement was correct, and on her return, from
, what she stated, he made sure the money was his own,
and not the prisoner's. Next morning he asked
'hue again where he found the money, and be
said "At the Ring's Statee."—A voice: "From the
gold there." (Laughter.) Witness continued that
yesterday morning prisoner went into the bar, where
he bed no right, before Miss Rogers went into burliness,
though he ought not to have been there till she came.
—Prisoner: What was the door open for, than, at

very poor woman, and if the money was not given her
prisoner would spend it all in drink. He also found

said his wife gave it him, and afterwards that his
daughter in Devonshire sent it him. Witness said he
had better go and see his wife about it, when priming
replied—" Don't go and see her to-night ; you'll
frighten her." Prisoner lives separate from his wile.
—Supt. Vick-ry asked for seven days' remand, in
order to communicate with the daughter, or to clear it
up somehow—Prisoner : Here is my wife ; I had it
from her; • nice raving women as ever lived, that

me to take care of it for her. (Laughter.)—He was
