ones and serious ones, up till about 30. They went up to the Boulevard. I went back to telephone to Headquarters. Things were going along very nice. We only had one fellow hit with a brick. When I came back out it was reported to me they were sniping from behind snowbanks and off the roof at the Boulevard. I went up there and it was somewhere between there and up the next street where the cabstand is Sergeant Johnstone was brought in with a shot in the jaw. I was between. I might say that Captain Haighton I know read the Riot Act that night. When I say read it he had learned it off as well as he could by heart. You all know it was very foggy that night; no man could read anything in the street and he gave it, to the best of my memory, word for word with the Riot Act in a loud clear voice.
THE CORONER: What time was it ?
A. That was about I should judge nine o’clock.
Q. When the Riot Act was read ?
A. Yes, between 9 and 9.30.
MR. LAVERGNE: Was he holding the paper in his hand ?
A. That I could not say.
JUROR LESAGE : In French or in English ?
A. Both, sir.
THE CORONER: Have you got a copy of that Riot Act ?
A. I don’t think I have one.
MR. LAVERGNE: The original ?
A. The original. Well, I had some given to me from headquarters and I got the stenographer to strike them off so that every officer would have two copies.
MR. PICHER: You have only a copy.
MR. BARCLAY: You have not got a copy with you here ?
MR. LAVERGNE: You have not a copy ?
A. No I don’t think.
