Q. Now I ask you, did you not on Monday the 21st, tell Mr. or Mrs. Davidson, or both, that coming home, and not finding your master at home, you had left the key for him at the usual place in the area, that he might let himself in?

Q. As you did not attend your master on the Monday morning, who attended him and brought him his shaving things, and gave him the usual attendance of a gentleman?
A. He never has any attendance; I never go to his bed room till about half past eight, and sometimes he is up, and sometimes not.
Q. Do you mean to say, he is a gentleman that wants no attendance?
A. Yes; he cleans his teeth, and washes himself and powders his hair, without my being in his bed room.
Q. He does not usually ring his bell in a morning, I suppose, doing without attendance?
A. Not before he comes down to breakfast.
