On tho night of Monday, 4th May, I saw tho prisoner Lane come out of tho house with the prosecutor, take him up to tho end of the lane and come back. Regan then came out of tho house, and I saw them counting some money on a rail. It appeared to be silver. L.me produced it. I beard Lane say ' We'll go inside or he may bring the trap?," by which I understood him to mean the police. They both wont inside, and I went to bed. I beard Regan ask Lane, "Is thai all you have got." lam quite certain they were the two prisoners. One of them had two black eyes where he had been lighting. Cross-examined: lam the mother of a family of seven. Have been in the colony since 1842. Came in the Duoluss (Note: Duchess of Argyle, Glasgow, 9 June 1842). My maiden name was Barr.
