''Mr. Nicolson'' — I never heard of all this before.
<span id="rc17768">[[#rc17768|17768]]</span> ''By Mr.[[Hare|Hare]]'' (''to the witness'')— Did you ever see me at Benalla?— Yes.
<span id="rc17769">[[#rc17769|17769]]</span> Do you remember coming to Benalla one day and giving me the same information as you say you gave to Mr. Nicolson about the men being up at the head of the King?— Yes.
<span id="rc17770">[[#rc17770|17770]]</span> What was done on that occasion?— I said to you about the men being in there at the time. I told Mr. Nicolson, and you asked me if I would show you this place. I said I would, and you asked me, I think, which was Bright or Mansfield the nearest to the King. I said I thought Mansfield, and you said, “Then I will telegraph and send u party of men to meet you.”
<span id="rc17771">[[#rc17771|17771]]</span> Did I do so?— Yes.
<span id="rc17772">[[#rc17772|17772]]</span> Did you meet them?— Yes.
<span id="rc17773">[[#rc17773|17773]]</span> Did you go and show them the place?— Yes, and there was a fire there, and we could not pass because of the fire; the trees were falling.
<span id="rc17774">[[#rc17774|17774]]</span> Do you remember the Commission sitting at Benalla?— Yes.
<span id="rc17775">[[#rc17775|17775]]</span> Do you remember seeing me that day?— Yes.
<span id="rc17776">[[#rc17776|17776]]</span> Do you remember a conversation you had with me that day?— Yes; that Mr. Nicolson was the cause of those men having so long a run.
<span id="rc17777">[[#rc17777|17777]]</span> I do not refer to that. With regard to the information that you gave him concerning the bank—do you remember saying, “I see by Mr. Nicolson's evidence that a bank was going to be stuck up”?— Yes.
<span id="rc17778">[[#rc17778|17778]]</span> What did you say to that?— I said I told him myself the banks were going to be stuck up.
<span id="rc17779">[[#rc17779|17779]]</span> When?— The first time I was talking to him—on the Sunday evening. I mentioned four banks—[[Bright|Bright]], [[Seymour|Seymour]], Avenel, and Euroa.
<span id="rc17780">[[#rc17780|17780]]</span> Have I had any conversation with you since that day?— No.
<span id="rc17781">[[#rc17781|17781]]</span> Have I in any way, or anybody from me, communicated with you?— No.
<span id="rc17782">[[#rc17782|17782]]</span> ''By Mr. Sadleir''— The night you saw those five men on the hill-top you said you intended going to Benalla, only that man following you prevented?— Yes.
<span id="rc17783">[[#rc17783|17783]]</span> When you met me you were going to see Sergeant [[Steele|Steele]]?— Yes, I met him in the street just before you; I was just going around to see him.
<span id="rc17784">[[#rc17784|17784]]</span> You were not then on your way to Benalla?— I was going to go to Benalla, only I thought from the place I saw this man that they might watch me.
<span id="rc17785">[[#rc17785|17785]]</span> You know the place I met you in front of the hotel?— Yes.
<span id="rc17786">[[#rc17786|17786]]</span> You were not on your way to Benalla then?— No. I was in Wangaratta, and was going to go to Benalla the previous night, but I thought those men might follow me.
