On Saturday night 17th June last I was awakened
from sleep in my billet by hearing shouting. I don't
know the time at all. I went out & saw the accused
near the barn & I asked him what the trouble
& received no reply. Accused was standing up in the open.
I then moved to the barn door & spoke to Corporal
Nicholson & while there the accused came up & told
us to get away to bed, or he would have us up for conspiracy.
The accused staggered & I caught hold
of him by the arm & he said "Let go my arm" which
I did. I then went back to my billet.

The accused was under the influence of liquor
that night. This was why he staggered I think.

I saw accused walk up to me but it was only
for a few yards. I was standing alongside of accused
when he staggered. Accused did not fall down.
His order for me to go to bed was definite.

His evidence is read to witness. R.P.83B complied
with. The witness withdraws.
