They have said in their testimony
that on Tuesday. the 4th of February,
that 1 met Mr.. Gambler on Forsyth
street-they said on Monday. To the
best of my recollection, it was on Tues

through to get around the postoffice and
go up Fairlie street to the Pickwick

walked up to me and shook hands, put
his arm around me and patted me on the
