Mr. WEATHERBE. Do you now say you wanted to look at the mem-

 Yes ; I think I can.

 in the gulf, which have been entered in this book, were taken from your 

 memory alone, and from no other source ? A. No; I said I took it from 

 some of my account-books. 



Q. Do you now say that you took down in that memorandum the 

 names of the places where you caught your fish from your old account- 

 books ? A. 1 don't swear it. 



Q. What do you swear ? Do you say the names of the places entered 

 in the book, as being the places where you caught your fish, were en- 

 tered from the account- books, or bills, or any other source ? A. I said 

 some of them were taken from it.
