Evidence of George Anderson in the trial of men accused of the slaughter of black natives near the station of Henry Dangar, Myall Creek - Cross examined by Mr. Windeyer.-I am not sure they would have killed the gins they left behind. I asked them to leave one gin, but not the one they left. They untied one for Davy (a black). I don t know why they spared Davy, only that he had been so long about the place and was more naturalised than the rest. I staid in the hut, and never left it after they left. Davy did not go with the whites. I never went to the place where the bodies were. I saw no other smoke that day than what I have described. I told Mr. Hobbs when he came home, that they took the blacks away, and that I could not help it. I only identified one man when before Mr. Day, the magistrate, and said I knew no more. The two men I named, were Russell and Flemming ; I knew the others faces. I say I only knew the name of one, and of Flemming who was away. I never expected any thing for coming forward to give evidence in this case. I ll take anything any body will give me, but I ask for nothing but protection. The magistrate said, he would commit me for thinking, or for not thinking, or something. I then began to recollect all I knew about it. I was punished twice since I have been in the country (about six years), once for neglect of duty, and once for being absent without leave. I was marched from New England to Patrick Plains, and got 100 lashes. I was transported for life for robbing my master. Foley was left with me as a guard over the fire arms. I thought they left him to make me believe the blacks were coming. I know old Joey ; he used to be with the rest of the blacks. King Sandy, his wife, and child, were taken away. The name of the gin I wanted to keep was Hipita. Daddy, and another black named Tommy, were taken away. I knew Sandy, Joey; King Sandy, and Daddy, King Sandy s wife, and young Charlie, her child.; they were all taken away. Re examined -Davy did not belong to the tribe that was taken away ; he came from the Peel with cattle
