Counsel.—So you call yourself a practical architect ? Witness.—Yes, I do. Counsel.—Now, tell me what is an equilateral triangle ? Witness.—lt is a square. Counsel.—What is the difference between a rhomboid and a unilateral circle ? Witness,—That has nothing to do with the case. Counsel.—Do you know anything of agriculture ? Witness.—Yes. Counsel.—Then, what is the proper kind of soil in which rhomboids grow best ? Witness.—A light loamy soil. Counsel.—Do you think Akaroa guano would improve their growth ? Witness.—No ; they always throw a taproot in ground too heavily manured. Those w'ith lateral roots always flourish best. (' uusel.—Have you ever grown any ? Witness. —No ; but Mr Denvtt exhibited a few at the last agricultural show, for which he took a prize. He did not use manure. Counsel.—You can go down.
