street. This was shortly before the row took place. I remained there until the row took place. The prisoner who has just been discharged told me and officer Hough that there was a row down Fisgard street , during this time the prisoner Gay Wah never came out of the house, he could not come out without my seeing him, I went down Fisgard St and saw the prosecutor there he was dressed in light coat and dark pants, I asked him what was the matter he said someone hit him, he was bleeding, I asked who hit him he said he could not tell, there were too many Chinamen there. I had a warrant for him and arrested him. I asked him two or three times on the way to the gaol if there was not even one he could recognize too many men he said no. To Mr. Davie I know Gay Wah Shue in the mines he was missing I don't know what he does here. I often see him on the street, I know where he lives now. I think he has been away for some time. I saw him for a few days before the occurrence and spoke to him. I saw him I think on Cormorant street. I know him by sight only and never had any conversation with him, he lives in On Hing's house, I have only been told he lives there, I have heard he has got one China woman. I am not sure whether I knew him in Cariboo or Cassiar
