Poticeman THomas CosTeL_io, (sworn) t came on the force the time Steele died, about two yoars ago. I did duty with McGonnell and Doyle. 1 have seen McConnell intoxicated while on duty.

[ could not say as to the last, time, as he was a good spell off duty. I-remeniber the tune McGonnell-was suspended the month for drinking. That was some time last spring. Since that time he would often be pretty well on, particularly after eleven or twelve o'clock at night ;‘but I. would not say he would be unfit for duty. I have frequently seen him intoxicated since the time he was suspended, but not unfit for duty. Ihave never drank with “him.. I cannot say that | remember of ever seeing him drink. I have known him to go into places where liquor is sold while ‘on beat with him. It would be mostly after night, I don't think he had any duty in these piaces. Sometimes he would make an excuse that he had to “see a man, ” and sometinies he would not make any. I have seen him go into Capt. Hughes, Benvit’s, Clarke’s, Mrs. Robins’. Dudier’s, Doyle's and Connolly Bros L cannot got liqu rin these places, as 1 did not in with him. I used to came out. in these places. It is my impvession that he went into these placg to get liquor. Sometimes he would get a ‘* little pleasant.” { would smell liquoroff him when‘he would come out. He would visit nearly all the places I have named in one night. He was only a few times at Benoit’s ; he mostly frequented Dudier’s, Connolly Bros., and Andrew Doyle's. Officer Doyle and I were vften together when McGonnell was in liquor. 1 suppose Doyle could notice Me- Gonnell’s being in liquor as weil as I could. [ never reported MceGonnell’s liguor to the Marshal.

To Councillor Byrne—I have never been told that it was a policeman’s duty to report drunkenness on the purt of any other member of theforce. lam here by order of the Stipendiary Magistrate. I might have been here long ago had I liked. 1 have never been requested by anybody to watch McGonnell or the Marshal. Other people knew about his drinking as well as

being in

I did. John Percival, Janes Waddell and Thomas Merchant, the watchman, have told me they saw McGonnell drunk. This

investigation business was sprung on me at the last inspection. I knew nothing about the investigation until we had been formed in line for inspection.

To Councillor Horne—-I am positive it was since McGonnell-was suspended that he went into these drinking places, Twice he remained in so long that { had to go home.

To Councillor Byrne —Y don’t think the Magistrate knew about McGonnell’s being

drunk, but the Marshal may have taken stock of him. To Officer McGonnell.—I iknew there

were summonses and waxrants for most of these places. The only thing you would tell me when you went iato Gillis’ or Gray Murphy’s was that you went in for a razor or something.

PoticemMan Dennis Doy te: (sworn).—lI am on the same beat with McGonnell. The last time saw him drunk was when he was last suspended. I have néverseen him in liquor since that night. { never saw him but when he could do duty as well as | could. I have not seen him take a glass of liquor since he was suspended. I do not know of any occasion when he:drank while on duty. Ihave seen him goin and cut to the most of the places Costello men- tioned. I saw him gointo Benoit’s one night toserve asummons. He told me when he went into Dudier’s that he ‘*wanted to seea man,” and { would wait outside. I will not swearthat.he got liquor while inside. He would goiato most of these places in the night time, and sonie- times inthe day. He told me when he would go into Mrs. Robins’ thit he went in to see about a heap of rubbish in the rear of her premises, which she wanted him to see that the owner would remove. I don't think he got liquor there. He never went

much into Connolly Bros’. Some weeks he would not go in at all. He would tell me he ‘wanted tosee aman.” I don't

think he drank anything while there. I

would not swear that I could notice Mce- Gonnell was more or less in liquor every night. I think if he was in - liquor I would notice him as _ quickly as any one. Only once I had any suspicion that he had taken liquor. It would be about three months aga. I

would not have noticed it if my attention had not been called to it by watchman John Percival. I thought McGonnell might have had a glass of beer in-him that night, but was not intoxica‘ed. He was able to get along as well as I could myself. This was about twelve o'clock at night. I went out on duty with him afterwards. Costello would often say to me that Mc- Gonnell had ‘‘a good shot in him to-night,” but I would only laugh at himin reply. J would not think he had ‘‘a good shot in him” at the time. He said this to me several times. but seldom since McGonnell was dismissed. I thought Costello was wrong every time.

Dr. MacKay of Truro, owns a few. nice horses. Amongst them the young bay stallion Fred Archer, by Hernando, he by Almont, 83, and out of old Kate the dam of LongJohn, who has a public record of 2-34 on our half mile track, and last year showed on ‘Fleetwood, to waggon, a mile in 2-28. This is the finest four-year-old stallion in all Nova Scotia, with heaps of speed as his breeding would warrant. He weighs 1150 Ibs., and stand 165 hands, is a beautiful bay with blacks points, and not a pimple on him anywhere. Mr. Slipp who has driven him says he is the mest promising young horse he. knows of anywhere. This fellow when he matures wiil carry with him great weiglit,and with it the firmnessof the thoroughbred added toall the inherited speed of the American trott- ing horse of which he is a true type and of just such horses as we want to produce. — Canadian Sportsman, Dees 9. 188%.

The Colchesher Sun, in reproducing the above, remarks:— ‘‘ We fully endorse all that bas been said in the Sportsman in reference to Dr. MacKay’s magnificent colt Fred Archer. We have examined him all over, and a mere perfect specimen, of equine beauty does not stand in Nova Scotia. His owner may well feel proud of him.”

Chis is a most pleasing contributién to the record of Mr. W. W. McLeod’s famous stallion. Hernando has achieved an ex- cellent reputation by dint of merit alone..g
