Tha Building Cendsmnod.
Dr. Makgill, District Health Officer, at Auckland, and formerly at Wellington, said that he had condemned tho building in February, 1907. jHo submitted details about its condition similar to those already published. He continued that tho recess where, tho coats were' kept- under .the stairs was badlr lighted, extremely badly ventilated, and smelt musty and horrible Witness had seen the building yesterday morning, and, while it did not now bear such a dejected appearance outside as when ho saw it about four years ago, an examination of tho timbers showed that 'decay had advanced, and, in spite of tho fact that considerable sums of money had been spent on it, it was nothing more than a whited sepulchre. It was the worst place in the business area of tho city at present. Mr. O'Shea was proceeding to examino tho witness, on a comparison of Wellington with Auckland, when Mr. Hislop objected. "I wish I could get a chance," said Mr. O'Shea.
"What do you mean by get a chance?" remarked tho magistrate. "You'vo been getting a clianco for three (lays. You're not very guarded in your language."
