No fmthcr evidence being foi thcoming, tho Warden nrldi easing Mi Quinn Said : 1 consider Mils objection comes with veiy bad grace from you, who, on your own admission held an interest in the Keen it Dark, (one of the claims for which renewed protection was a.jke.d), fora year, during which time you say only six weeks' work was done on the groundj'and dming the balance of the time you weie a shaieholdor the ground was h-rt idle, without even protection being asked for ; and now, because you no longer hold an interest in it, you try to turn others out of it. Nobody knows better than you do as you stand theie, that I heard all about the state of affaire as regards these claims, when protection was pro viously applied for. The least you could have done was to show me you were one of the 'unemployed,' and deairing to go and

work on the ground you object to bom» further protected. An objection would have conic better from any outsider limn from you, one of the oiijjiml slnreholder.s.
