Part 15

A. He did.

Q. Had you dined at the Packet Boat, or at the Ship on that day?

A. No, I had not.

Q. Have you seen that gentleman from that time till to-day?

A. No, not from the time I saw him at Dover till to-day.

Q. Have you not been at London to be examined?

A. No.

Q. You have heard a great deal about this transaction?

A. Yes, it has been in every body's mouth.

Q. I take for granted you talk about these things as we do in London?

A. Yes we do.

Q. And read the newspapers that have been full of this thing for a long time?

A. I frequently read the newspapers.

Re-examined by Mr. Bolland.

Q. How long had you an opportunity of observing him?

A. Perhaps I might be in the room three or four minutes.

Q. During that time, was your attention called to him?

A. Yes, on account of the glorious news he said he had brought.

Q. It was a welcome face at Dover?

A. Yes, it was indeed, and that made me take more notice than I should have done.

A Juryman. Had he a cap on all the time you saw him?

A. No, he had not.

Mr. Park. It was only three or four minutes altogether?

A. I beg your pardon; I did not say it was only three or four minutes, I was asked whether it was three or four minutes, and I said I had no doubt it was.

A Juryman. Are you sure that is the man?

A. That is the gentleman that I saw there.

Lord Ellenborough. You have no doubt whatever?

A. No, I have none in the least.
