My name is Milo. I am a native trooper.

Bridge and Roma in the Colony of Queensland

I know Constable Goodacre. I remember
going to Defendant's hotel with Goodacre, I think
3 days ago. (Defendant admits date) I had
a two shillings with me, and an empty bottle.
I went in straight to defendant's house
into the Bar. I said "Please Mr. Nock
"fill this little bottle with Rum for two shillings"

I handed bottle to Mr. Nock and got it
back from Nock, there was something in the
bottle when I got it back. I did not taste it.
I gave Mr. Nock the two shillings.

It was a little bottle with red wax on
it like Ex. A. I put the bottle in my
coat and went outside and gave it to
Goodacre. I had only one bottle.

[left margin] Xd. by
