In reply to the magistrate, Mr.
Luker admitted that he had no evidence to produce of any attempt at robbery being in contemplation.

He could speak positively to the annoyance and interruption caused by the Indians, but not to anything else.

The magistrate remarked that, if the annoyance were repeated, the applicant could summon the Indians to that court, where they might easily be dealt with under the Act.

As to the valuables in Mr.Luker's possession, Mr.Luker himself must take the best measures for their safe custody.

He would do well perhaps to communicate with the police, and to adopt such additional precautions as their experience might suggest.
