The above is the whole of the material evidence, except that Mr G. Lethbridge deposed to having seen a cart (no doubt the cart taken) driven up to the Iviitake pah on the day iv question.

Carrinsjton, ofthe'tfative Department —stated that he had not thought the road dangerous on that day as he was going to allow his wife to join a riding party toTalaraiinaka.
