What do you say as to what would take place ?—I think the A infection would spread. 114. No, you have forgotten the precise question I asked you. If some of the other colliers are attacked by the disease and go to the hospital, and are in the grounds when their mates are walking along the road as they come to the collieries or go home, then what B would happen ?—I think there is a possibility of infection. Mr. Justice FARWELI., : You see, you are not called as an expert. Mr. UPJOHN : Would anything take place between the two men ? C 115. Mr. MACMORRAN: That is rather leading ?- They would go and talk to each other. Mr. UPJOHN : Do not answer this at present, because I do not know whether Mr. Macmoran has any objection to it. Have you considered the probability of what would happen if a number of your 1) men were stricken with this disease ? Mr. Justice FARWELL : I will take it de bene esse. The WITNESS : It would spread the disease in the mine if they came in contact with each other, no doubt. 116. Mr. UPJOHN : Again you do not understand ; my question E to you is not a medical one. If a substantial number, say 40 or 50, of the men were stricken with this disease, have you considered the question of what the other men would probably do ?—They would stay away, no doubt. 116a. You think that is very probable?—Yes. r (Adjourned for a short time.)
