There is no necessity to add to my personal experiences at this extremely interesting circle, and therefore I will proceed to give a very brief outline of some of the particularly rigid tests to which this medium has been subjected. At the request of an eminent Sydney doctor and several Scientific friends associated with him, Mr. Bailey went to Sydney in 1903 for the purpose of giving a series of sittings. The members of the circle were allowed to impose their own conditions, which were of a particularly stringent character, but in spite of every precaution taken to detect fraud, similar phenomena occurred to those that had been witnessed in Melbourne. The full details of these experiences were set out in an official Report contained in a book of 140 pages and entitled, "Rigid Tests of the Occult." The thoroughness with which two or three of the more sceptical investigators searched the medium before each sitting may be described as follows:—

The coat pockets were first overhauled, the lining was felt all over, then the coat was folded, placed on a chair beside Dr. X, and left there during the sitting. The control meanwhile separated the arms, so that the arm-pits could be searched by sight or touch; the hands, including the spaces between the fingers, being also examined by at least two pairs of eyes and hands. Then, while the arms were still extended outwards the clothes were searched, the pockets turned out, the linings examined, the non-possibility of secret pockets or receptacles noted, and every inch of the body from head to foot pressed hard and stroked down deliberately and systematically, somewhat after the manner of massage. As one of the more sceptical searchers remarked, when asked if he was satisfied, "Satisfied I why, not a threepenny bit could have escaped."
