Mr. Charrington: Did other people show by their behaviour that they were disgusted? Did you not hear them?
The Chairman: Objection is taken to the question, and we must be governed, as near as may be, by the practice in courts of law.

Witness: Some people went out.

The Chairman: You must confine yourself as to what this witness saw that he thought of an objectionable character.
