with the child whi’e we were away. As we were passing Mr. George Peake’s the clock «truck eleven, 1 am quite sure about this, THe left meat my ewn door and then drove off.
Cross-examined by Mr McLeod.—I am
quite certain it was on Thursday Mr Blatch
drove me home. On Wednesday night ! bad to sit up with my sister all night as the nurse had to go: away, and on Thursday J
Livery Stable. Dawson had exclusive pos- session of the Livery Stable for a » week previous to the iobtery.” I went on Thurs- day mcrning to Dawson with a cheque for $200 signed by Blatch. Dawson said he wouldn't take the cheque till he gat the
whole amount. IT went! ack to Mr. Blatch and gave him Dawson’s answer and the cheque, Between ten o'clock and three o'clock of the same
day Blatch came over to me and produced a roll of notes and-said ‘ here’s his $400 ; I'l! throw this at him, and see whether he li refuse this or not.” This roll of notes was rolled up together with a strip of white paper around it about } of an inch wide. It was fast. He chucked it upin his hand. I went part of the way.over to Dawson's with him... I went as far aa Dr. Dawson's corner with him. .He went over to Dawson and I went te my own house, He was to meet Dawson again that evening at 7 o’clock, But did got dose. Inext saw Blaich between 8 and 84 o'clock the same nigh’, He said sickness in the house detained him. Before he came to my place (that was the night of the robbery, at 84 o’cleck,) Daw- son sent word at about 7 o’clock that he couldn't wait any longer and had gone home. Blatch drove his horse and buggy into the yard, and then he went into the house with me and we eat talking over the livery stable business till probably half-past nine or thereabout. He then said he had to go ever to the office to do a little writing, and went away. He got back between 10} e'cleck and 104 o'clock. I had been wait- ing from 10 o'clock fer him. When he came back he went into the house again, and sat down and talked for some time. He left my house at ten minutes to eleven. He asked me the time and [ told him. He said he had to get back to take his sister-in-law home. 1 parted with him then. He went in the direction of, home. He lives about a mile from Carvell’s store. I next saw him on Friday morning about 10 o'clock, and we arranged to meet Dawson at sharp seven o’cloek. Just as the clock was striking seven we were going in Daw- son’sdoor. Mr. Blatch produced the roll of notes bound exactly the same way as the one he had shown me on Thursday, and apparently about the same size. Dawson counted the money, putting the grecuback#te one side. ET couldn’t say whe- ther or not there was a $20 greenback. ; There were some $10’s. I couldn’t say whether or not there were any 5's. There were six or seven greenback notes alto- gether. There were $65 in greenbacks. He put his hand into the breast pocket of his coat and took out a roll of notes en
closed im white paper, and opened it out. He teok the money he got from Mr. Blatch and laid it on top of the money in the roll, and said, ‘* [’il put. this among the rest.” He rolled it up again and put it in his in- side breast pocket again. On the top of the roll he took from his pocket was a $2
bill.
(Cross' exatained by Mr. McLeod)--I do not know that the bargain was concluded until Tuesday. Blatch and Dawson and | were together at the time. I carried a chegne to: Dawson only once. Payment was. to have heen made in Mr. Dawson’s office on Wedmesday at 7 o'clock. Blatch cathe down -that evening, but it waa too late for»dMr. Dawson. It was about 74 o'clock. © }t-was next morning that I went with the cheque for $200. The payment to he made on Wednesday was to have been $400: The total payment was to have been $656—$400 cash, and the balance by note payable on the lst November 1883, The roll Blatch showed on’ Thursday was, I think, the same roll he paid over to Daw- son on Friday evening, Blatch told me he got upwards of $200 of the money from Mr.

Mrs. Blatch was confined on Tuesday, the 12th. I was there till Wednesday evening, when I was
sent for; and then [ returned to Mrs. Blatch
about six o'clock Thursday morning. The little boy was very sick with gastric fever. He wouldn’t allow me near him. When Mr. Biatch was out Miss Ellis looked after him. He wouldn't stop with anyone else when Mr. Blatch was home, On Thursday evening, the night of the robbery. Mr. Biatch left the house about seven o’clock, leaving the little boy in charge of Mies Ellis. He returned to drive Miss Ellis home near eleven o'clock. When Blatch returned after taking home Miss Ellis it was ten minutes past eleven o'clock. Lam sure of this. There wasa clock and a light on a bureau in the hall up stairs. The light lit both rooms. The doors of the bedrooms are both quite close to each other, and lead out into the hall. The house is a ha'f house. Blatch went into the room with his little boy at about ten minutes past eleven. I sat up all night. Mrs. Blatch was very poerly and the baby very restless. The door of Mrs. Blatch’s room was open. Mr. Blatch could not go down stairs without my seeing him; and he didn’t go down till next morning between seven and eight o’clocs. 1 could hear them every twenty minutes or quarter of an hour all night. He could'nt have gone out of the house without my knowledge. The child was very sick and restless ail night, and I am eertain he could not*have left. I was not asleep at all.
Cross-examined by Mr. MeLeod.—It was nearly 11 o’clock when Blatch returned to take Miss Ellis home. Mr. Blatch got back at ten mintes past eleven after taking Miss Ellis home. 1 remember this because I remember telling Mrs. Blatch that it was

I was at Mr.! Blatch’s Tuesday evening, all day Wednes- |
day during the day and night,, and all—day -Thursday.... The little boy was very sick indeed, and
ten minutes past eleven when he. came home. Jessie Ferguson had then charge of the little boy. The robbery took place I hear on Thursday night. It was not until the Monday following that I heard of the robbery. It was Mr. Blatch himself told me. I never heard Mr. Blatch was suspect- ed of the robbery til L saw Flynn and the constable in the house. On Friday he told Mrs. Blatch he bad been at Stumbles’ op the previous night doing business... That was the reason he gave for being out so Jate 1 didn’t hear him say what kind of busines he was transacting.
Samcet Srumpies (recalled)—The night that Mr. Blatch was arrested L saw Dawscn. Dawsen said the reason he knew the note was that it was $20 silver dollar note with the .word twenty printed, in . large letters on the face of it. He said the note was worth only 80 cents to the dollar, Joseph Seaman was present at the time.
Cross-examined by Mr. MeLeod—At the time Blatch paid the money to Dawson
' there was no note taken for 80 cents‘in the
dollar. Hesaid the note he gave Messervey was a $20 silver do!lar note, and that note, he said, he thought he got froin Blatch. He said also that the note was lighter in color than the ordinary greenback. I never saw a silver dollar note.

To Mr. Davies—Since then, on the 25th September, Mr. Blatch depositéd»in ster- ling exchange, $424.79. Mr. Blatch also depusited a note as collateral security for the overdraft, The sterling exchange wes drawn to the order of his mother and en- dorsed payable to him.
To Mr. McLeod—l1 think I paid the $130 cheque in Merchants’ Bank paper.
Freperick W. Hvoses (sworn)—Ex- amined by Mr. Davies~1 am Assistant Clerk in the Cuourty County Court, I collect the fees generally and pay them over to Mr. Blatch as Chief Clerk. I pay them generally after the Court is over. There was a Court in Angust, “The book was made up to the 3tet-of Angast. ‘T paid '’ Blatch $242 less $20 for which I gave an 1 O U which I afterwards redeemed. I paid him on the 2nd September.. He handed me back $50 to met smail claims cn the office, and I have an entry of that. There were various kinds of notes in the money I paid Blatch. We receive greenbacks There wi® a large sprinkling of yreenbacks in the money I paid to Blatch. Ithink he potit m the cash box. I remember hearing about the robbery. Before tha’, | saw Mr, Blatch roll up @ roil.of notes. He rolled them up, wrapped a piece of white paper around them, and, I think, fastened it with mucilage. I can’t remember the day. But when he had the notes rolled up, he said; “I’m going over to pay Dawson now.? I know nothing of the amount. Mr. Blatch receives the money from: the Afssistant Clerks throughout the country personally. When defendants pay, they sometimes pay to me; sometimes Mr. Blatch. I think there were three returns from the Assistant Clerks at the end of August. I know Doirant called to settle with him. Mr. Blatch gets paid monthly, $41 a month— $500 a year. He also gets 16 cents for every affadivit of service. There would be at least 1500 services in 13881. He also gets 10 eents for every copy of summons and 5 cents for copies of subpoenas, He also receives rents from two houses, He was also Clerk of the Insolvent Court, and got fees from thst. The parties have come to me to pay their rents. I don’t receive the amounts. Mrs Fraser, Albert Love, and Michael Foley live in his houses. Mr Blatch is a commissioner for taking afii- davits and the 16 cents each are paid to him as Commissioner.
To Mr McLeod. —The fees bel ly.to Government and partly to Mr. ee I redeemed the I. O. U., this day week. Of the amount 1 paid him he kept $172 part of which would belong to the Government. Affidavits are not made on every sum- mons issued ; but they are in a ‘large ma- jority of them: ‘The 16 cents is for taking the oath. Mr Blatch receiyes it. .From the time I paid him the $175 to the time I paid him the due bill, I may have paid hita. other monies. I can’t swear there was a $20 greenback among this $172. Mr. Blatch should, I think, account to the Gey- ernment bi-monthly; but he generally does so after a court, as soon as the fées are paidin. He might keep it a month or two months. A book in the office will show when the returns are made to the Govern- ment. [.am not sure. whether or; pot Blatch received any money since the 2nd of
September. Blatch.put the money in his cash . box. He took the money he rolled up in the paper oat of
the same'cash box.’ That cash box is kept in thesafe. ‘I have no access to it.. & catt’t tell when Blatch rolled the money wp It was about the time he was negotiating with,
we work at night. We both have keyg of”
