NOT TO BE CAUGHT
Witness at River Inquiry
The rathdr sombre atmosphere prevailing at this morning's session of the Government Committee of Inquiry into Hawke’s Bay Rivers Board matters was relieved when Mr H. E. 'Talbot, a .River Board member, cross-exam-ined a witness called to support submis sions made by the Hustings Borough Council.
Mr Talbot: You heard me giving evidence on behalf of Pukahu settlers, didn’t you? Witness: Yes.
Would you say it was fair evidence? —“lt seemed to me to be in favour of the Pukahu settlers.”
Then you think it was fair and just? —“lt was the evidence I would expect from an advocate of Pukahu.” Then you don’t think it was fair evidence?
Witness’s reply was drowned in laughter.
