MR. LAVERGNE : What lane do you speak of ?


A. This lane to the left.


THE CORONER : Not a lane, a wide street.


A. I had the impression that was a vacant lot on the corner there.


Q. I think you make a mistake.


A. It is a vacant lot. That is quite a narrow street. And this stands …


Q. That is the one you mean : St. Felixine ; this is a lane ?


A. No. That is the street I mean and it is a narrow street, Bagot.


Q. It is a wide street.


A. It may be shown wide.


Q. It is not shown, it is. I dont discuss what it is. But I know it is a wide street. You were under the impression that it was a narrow street ?


A. It was a reasonably narrow street and this is what appears to be a vacant lot with a bill board along at the back.


Q. That is the street.


A. That is what I was referring to by our left flank.


MR. BARCLAY : You mean up Bagot Street.


A. When the reinforcements I mentioned as coming up St. Joseph Street arrived …


THE CORONER : How many men ?


A. In the neighborhood of thirty I should think.


Q. Those are all the soldiers that were there that night ?


A. No. These were reinforcements sent forward to our place.


Q. You said you had only 25, and 30, that is only 55 altogether ?
