Part 179

A Juryman. We should like to see that road book.

Mr. Park. Does your Lordship think the jury have a right to see that; they cannot take it for the purpose of comparing with any thing else?

Lord Ellenborough. It is in evidence, being found in the desk of the defendant, they may look at each, if they please.

General Campbell, sworn.

Examined by Mr. Brougham.

Q. Do you know Mr. Cochrane Johnstone?

A. I do.

Q. Did you meet him in the month of September or October last, at a meeting or hunt in Scotland?

A. I met him the second week, I think in last October, at the Perth meeting.

Q. Did he at that time shew you some plans and prospectus of the new place of amusement, in the nature of a Ranelagh?

A. I saw in Mr. Cochrane Johnstone's hands, the prospectus of a new public place, he called it, to be erected in the Regent's Park, or the neighbourhood of the Regent's Park.

Q. Do you recollect the name he gave to it?

A. I think he called it Vittoria.

Q. Will you look at the prospectus, and see whether that is the same? [The prospectus was shewn to the witness.]

A. I believe this is a copy of the same that I saw.

Q. Look at the plan?

A. He did not shew me the plan.

Q. Did he shew this prospectus, and communicate to other persons at that meeting upon the subject of it, as well as you?

A. I cannot speak to that; he communicated to me in my own apartment or his own, I cannot recollect which.

Mr. Serjeant Best. This gentleman was taken very ill, being kept here last night; if he comes by and by, I trust your Lordship will permit him to be examined out of his turn.

Lord Ellenborough. Certainly, at any period.

Mr. Serjeant Best. That is the case of the three defendants for whom I appear.

The Right Honourable the Earl of Yarmouth sworn.

Examined by Mr. Park.

Q. You are I believe, or were, the Colonel of the Duke of Cumberland's sharp-shooters?

A. Lieutenant-colonel commandant.

Q. It is called the corps of sharp-shooters?

A. Yes.
