. ,46 MINUTES OF EVIDENCE TAKEN BEFORE THE jCrebn'ar> ,838' do not know whether the lodgers have any part of the garden ?- t) lX0Qi 66 Mr. Serjeant Jackson.] Do you know how many rooms that man occupies himself ?— He is a tailor. His men are with him at work in the front two, I know ; room inside. 31* 68. Didyou go into the inner room?— I only went into the workshop, and into the garden. , 3169. You are sure there is an up- stairs in the house r I am. 3170. Can you say what sort of repair the house is in ?— The man seemed to be a very comfortable man. 5171. Mr. LefroyT] Had the houses that you visited in that neighbourhood all gardens ?— Great Britain- street runs out into the liberties, and the houses on the^ right hand side have gardens ; those on the left have not gardens; the ground there becomes more valuable, because there are streets at the back of it. 3172. Did you measure that garden ?— No. 3173. Did you ever see it more than once ?— No. 3174. Then how are you able to give so accurately the dimensions of it ?— I think I can guess very well, keeping it in my mind's eye. 317,5. Did you expect to be asked the measurement of it ?— I did. 3176. And you thought it better to judge of it by your eye than to step it, or measure it ?— It would be impossible to do that in the short time I had ; I was overworked as it was, in trying to get this information, and I neglected my own business altogether for it. 3177. You were obliged to bring the best information you could in that time ? — Yes. 3178. Mr. Litton.] Is not your information very imperfect, according to your own account ?— In those things it is ; in those minute particulars. 3179. Did not you say that you had not half time enough?— I could not take time to measure, but I had sufficient time to satisfy my own mind. 3180. If a man is easily satisfied, is not it very easy to satisfy his own mind; what did you mean by saying you had not half time ?— From my own business ; I had not a moment to spare; I was so pressed for time to get this infor- mation. I have rather an extensive business ; my own business commences every day at 10, and ends at five or six in the evening ; and those were the hours I was obliged to devote to this. 3181. Even neglecting your own business, did not you obtain in some cases very imperfect information as to the value ?— I think my information is as per- fect as any man could get in the same time. 3182. If you had had longer time, it would have been more perfect ?— As to the dimensions, no doubt I could have brought the dimensions of everv room and the number of floors. 3183. Mr. Beamish.'] Do you think you could have given sufficient infor- mation to satisfy these gentlemen ?- It is very hard to satisfy some gentlemen. 3i » 4- Lvenif you had taken a tape and rule ?— I think perhaps I should have been questioned as to the cubic inches 3185.
