Q. I am told that your base was at the intersection of St. Valier, St. Joseph and Bagot Streets near the cabstand, is that right, your base, where your reserves were, is that right ?


A. No, our reserves …


Q. Your reserves in that locality, am I right ?


A. That was, as far as any troops went ; there were no reserves there.


Q. I am informed that the main body of men — perhaps I don’t express myself correctly — I am informed that the main body of men were congregated at the corner of St. Joseph, St. Valier and Bagot Streets, is that right ?


A. No.


Q. And that parties were going out riding from that ?


A. No. Just show me where that is on the map.


Q. I was told that the main body of men were there, that the others were travelling from that direction, is that right ?


A. No, the main body never moved that night.


Q. What I mean is the main body in that locality ?


A. The way I explain that is, the main body was down at the station. Just see if I make this clear to you. The main body was at the station ; the next largest body was out there. This was only a few men, I should judge, roughly between 50 and 75 men were there.


THE CORONER: At that corner ?


A. At that corner.


A. Near the cabstand ?


A. Near the cabstand.


Q. How many on St. Joseph Street ?


A. Down St. Joseph Street, say about roughly between 20 and 30.
