pnsrently spotless. or almost " spotless,
proctpr with dreadful crime. xai ws-
s Soit bappens that more frequently than
q nub]jc is aware of, a private inquiry IS
ade apart from the charge-sheet alto

r,te,s retiring-room in connection with
n court or at his own chambers or house.
In the first case, that Of a solemn charge,
Var hearing evidence. the magistrate asks
a prisoner he has anything to say,
aminc him carefully that whatever he
inks fit to say will be taken down and
sed in evidence against him. Sometimes
magistrate will go out of his way guard
Blv to advise prisoner that the less ne
Va the better it will be for him.
But in the second case, where the magls-
ate considers himself justified in making
inquiry privately, the individual being
his presence the justice still warns him
be careful, but at the same time invites
N to make such explanations as may
ee him, tho magistrate, from issuing q
auaut to arrest him. In such case as
is no evidence is taken down, and what
yer the prisoner says is looked upon as
bite confidential.
lBy the time that certain magistrate

against Austin Sivory did not justify
i'm in having the man arrested, but d1d
stify bin in making private inquiry
this time, be it said, bets were numer-
ls on the Stock Exchange, as to whether
not the assassin would be discovered.
Furthermore, some intimations of the
fspicions Brought against Sivory had got
ito the papers. 'f,jA.,
When the detective charged In CHIEF

Puyt with the officer, and offer all the OK
anations of which he was capable.
