DISPOSA.L OP THE CoUNTKRPOILEt.
John Lawson, scrutineer for Holmes
at the Colborne poll, told tinder .exam-
enittion by Sir Louis Davies 'that on
the morning of the election day, before
opening the poll, be signed the declin-
ation as scrutineer, but wits riot sworn.
Cummings told the scrutineerito look
into the ballot -box; and it wits' locked
shortly after that. He pew only uhe
pad or block of ballot peyers on the
table. From that one pad the deputy
i•etuening officer took all • the ballots,
initialling each one as he handed it to
the voters. Cummings started' with a

When he ehenged witness did not
know, onlY he did not use the pen very
long. Through the day Oupniangs
might hitve used the pen when witness
borrowed his pencil.

tion.
