6315. Did you see him then?-I did. There were some affairs that he and I had to manage, because he is Mr. Anderson's factor in summer, and I have to do with curing fish for Mr. Anderson in winter.
6316. Did Sandison tell you about the meeting?-No.
6317. Are you sure of that?-Yes.
6318. Did you not speak to him about it on Tuesday?-I don't remember whether we said much about that, or anything about that at all. There are various things that I may have exchanged words about with him which I don't remember.
6319. Then you may have been speaking to him about it on Tuesday?-No; I had not heard any word about it on Tuesday.
6320. Are you able to say that Sandison did not speak to you about it on Tuesday?-I don't recollect him speaking about it at all.
6321. Do you swear that you did not speak to Sandison on Tuesday about this meeting?-I would not be safe to answer, because my memory might not hold good. Recollection gets short when age comes on, and I would not care for swearing to that.
6322. You say it was only yesterday that you heard about the meeting?-Yes.
6323. Can you swear you did not hear of it before yesterday?-I swear that I don't recollect of hearing about it before yesterday.
6324. Is it possible you may have been speaking to Sandison about it?-I may have done so; but if I did, I have completely forgotten about it.
