6335. Have you any objection to tell me their names?-I don't know whether I could call their names to recollection.
6336. I asked you to tell me their names in private, and you objected to do so; but I now ask you upon your oath whether you remember the names of any such men?-I don't think I could tell any of their names now. I would know their names quite well at the time when they were getting what they were requiring, but I cannot name any of them now.
6337. Is that because you don't remember them?-Yes.
