CHAPTER 18.
Mr.Runnimall, the auctioneer, swore that the older prisoner placed certain cattle in his hands, to arrive, for sale in the usual way, stating that his name was Mr.Charles Carisforth, and that he had several stations in other colonies.

Had no reason for doubting him.
Prisoner was then very well dressed, was gentlemanly in his manners, and came to his office with a young gentleman of property whom he knew well.
The cattle were sold in the usual way for rather high prices, as the market was good.

The proceeds in cash were paid over to the prisoner, whom he now knew by the name of Starlight.

He accounted for there being an unusual number of brands by saying publicly at the sale that the station had been used as a depot for other runs of his, and the remainder lots of store cattle kept there.
He had seen a short-horn bull outside of the court this day branded 'J-E' on the shoulder.

He identified him as one of the cattle placed in his hands for sale by the prisoner Starlight.
