I made two pairs of white trousers for the defendant and delivered them to him at his hotel. His cook was present. I charged 24s for the trousers. I also made him a white shirt and a suit of tweed. The day I got the order there was a man named Sykes in the shop, and I a»ked him to put down the measure, which he did. (The measure book was here put in evidence).' He was measured on the 6th November, 1875. The suit was made by mycelf without assistance. The trowsers and vest the defendant has on now are part of the suit. The coat was made of dark tweed with a stripe in it. In regard to the book and three, pictures I showed McDowell a book and three pictures that I had and he said he would like some the same. I went and bought them and delivered them to the defendant. I purchased then at his request. I delivered them to him in his cook house. The charges for the other items were fair and reasonable. By Mr Macdonald^l keep no book of accounts except that measuring book. I got the date for making out the account from my memory. I looked at the bcok only for one date.
