 them ? 



" Attorney-General. I say, if you will let me have thein I will 

 compare them with some authentic documents that I have. 



u Witness. I don't think Mr. Davie lias got any copies of the origi- 

 nal. I am not aware of it. 



" Mr. Belyea (to witness). In making up of the claims in 1886 and 

 of the claims in 1887, was it ever suggested by Mr. Boscowitz or any- 

 body else that the claims should be in his name ? 



" A. No; never. 



" Q. In whose name were the claims made up here 1 ? — A. Made in the 

 name of the party the vessel was registered in. 



" Q. Were the claims that went through, Mr. Harnley, made up in 

 that way I — A. They were. 



" Court. That was in Cooper's name"? 



" Mr. Belyea. Yes; and Warren himself was the registered owner 

 of 



"Witness. The Thornton. 



" Q. While at Ottawa you not only had the revision of your own 

 claim but of the others'? — A. 1 had. 



" Q. In every case of the others, in whose name was the claim made 

 out? — A. The registered owner, I believe, in every case. 



"Court. You mean not only these that belong to Mr. Boscowitz and 

 yourself, in whatever relation, but also the other schooners that had 

 been seized 1 ? 



"A. All the other schooners. 



"Mr. Belyea. Now, do you recollect having got any instructions 

 from the department of marine and fisheries as to this particular 

 point of the claim — of having had any conversation with the official 

 about it — about in whose name the claims should be made out? 



"A. I always understood that it had to be made up, both by legal 

 advice here and the authorities there, that they all had to be made up 

 in the name of the registered owners both here and at Ottawa. 



"Q. When you went to Ottawa did Mr. Boscowitz instruct you in 

 any way whatever to put these claims in his name? — A. He did not; in 

 no way whatever. 



"Q. So that the claims stand to day, so far as in whose name they 

 are, exactly as they did when they first left here? — A. They are just 

 the same to-day."

 I had six vessels in 1887. The Mary Taylor -took the place of the

 vessels was? — A. The cost of running them?

 made a steamer of — and the Say ward, say, cost — well, the Anna Beck,
