Owen'F, the one which you gave in, that which is
referred to by me ?

—That is the only statement O'er 6aw of Captain
Henry. I received no other statement.
" Was Mr. Oven's letter enclosed in or appended
to my statement ?---No.

"Did I on that occasion state to you that I had
placcd myself in the hands of Captai❑ Henry, and
had been guided by his advice ?—I believe you did.
" After reading that statement which I handed
to you, did you not tell me that you were not satis-
fied with Captain Henry, and that he did not act
with sufficient energy, or words to the like purport
or effect ?—I told him I considered the explanation
not satisfactory.

" Capt. Robertson—That is not an answer to my
question.

" Colonel Brownrigg objected to the opinion of
the witness being given as to whether Capt. Henry
had acted with energy.

" President—The`witness is merely giving ev
dence as to what took place at the time.

" Witness—l have no recollection of having said
that Captain Henry had not used sufficient energy.
" Question from Prisoner—Did you then say to
me that I would have insisted on Captain Henry
sending a challenge to Col. Dickson on my behalf,
or any words to a like purport or effect ?

" Prosecutor—l protest against the witness being
pressed to answer that question.
"The court was then cleared to consider whether
the question might be put.
" It was decided that the question might be put,
but the witness was at liberty to answer it or not
as he pleased.
"The witness stated that he had no distinct re-
collection of having made use of the expressions
used in the question.
" Captain Robertson—He said distinct recollec-
tion.' I want to know if he has any recollection.
Have you any recollection of having told me that
I would have insisted on Captain Henry sending a
challenge to Col. Dickson on my behalf ?'
" President—The witness answered the former
question, though he need not have answered it.

" Witness—l have answered the question before."
The Court then adjourned till this morning.
