five o'clock.
Croii-examined by Mr. Hatchell—l was on the platform.
There were other reporters there, and no obstruction to my
taking notes. Those people I saw seemed as if coming to a
market. There were females mixed through the men—(Laugh-
ter)—or among Them There were children there also, and so
far as the conduct of the persons was concerned, everything
was peaceable.. I was employed to go to the meeting._
Mr. Hatchell—By whom?—By Captain Despard.
Mr. Tomb—Do not answer that question.
Mr.• Hatchell—Were you there on the part of the Go-

Mr. Hatchell—Then ycu did not go home when the meeting
broke up ?—I did. How long did you remain at home ?—Two days. I arrived
on Monday morning, and remained till Wednesday. I had my

short-hand notes with me. • . .
Were they in a book ?—No, they were on slips of paper.
Were they connected with a thread, or pin, or how ?—They
were not.

They were scattered loose slips of paper ?—They were.
Did you understand when you went io take that note that
you were to be paid for it ?—Certainly. The price was not
agreed upon. I had not been connected with a newspaper
for a year before, but I kept myself in practice by reporting
at the assizes, though I did not transcribe my notes. I was
not written to for my reports, but I made it out because I
knew I should be asked for it. This meeting was on the 16th
of July. I had my note perfectly transcribed, ready for de-
livery, in about :ix clays after the meeting, but I cannot be
positive. I cannot swear how long. it took me to prepare the
report. It was to be paid by the job. I never was pad by
the line.

Mr. Hatchell—Did you transmit them as soon as you trans-
cribed them ?—I dul not transmit them at all.
Were they applied for, or did you transmit them voluntarily ?
—1 heard they were applied for at my house.
Was the message in writing?—lt was. I was told the day
• after I came home that if a report was not sent by that evening
it would be too late. - -
Did you conceive that it was too late after getting that mes-
sage ?—Yes.
oa)sieur too late.
And still you transcribed your notes? Now, you told me
that short-hand writers do not. voluntarily undergo the trouble
of transcribing their notes, unless they are to be paid for them?
swaor:
--Oh, I thought it was not to, late, and that they might have
said that to hurry me.
