The last occasion when I received an extra allowance was about February, 1890, when I gob £150 to assist in clearing my liability on the Waipipi property. On one occasion I got £25 for a month's allowance, and more than once 1 have received -„__o a month. 1 used to keep a bank account, but don't now.

While in Auckland I earned nothing, and was staying at an hotel at tho cost ot 35s to 40s per week. I made no special effort to get employment. About a couple of months ago I made a lady friend a present of a brooch worth £2. That is tha only jewellery I have given away within the last six month?; I cannot say how much I have speno in buggy hire during that period ; I cannot say if ib amounts to £20."
