Part 19

Q. Where have you been all the time that gentleman has been speaking?

A. What gentleman?

Q. Were you out of Court?

A. No, I was not out of Court.

Q. You have been behind?

A. Yes.

Q. Have you been in view of his Lordship all the time?

A. No.

Q. When did you come into Court; did you come in when Mr. Gourley was examining, or when Marsh, the former witness, was examining?

A. No, I was out of Court at that time.

Q. Had you left the Ship Inn before this gentleman, as you say it was, had left the Ship Inn and gone back to the Packet Boat?

A. No, I saw him start off.

Re-examined by Mr. Bolland.

Q. Did you come into Court before you were called?

A. No.

Mr. Park. No, I give that up.

Lord Ellenborough. A deaf man is rather an awkward man to be an eaves dropper.

Mr. Park. I could not put so silly a question as that.

Lord Ellenborough. He is the very last man that one should suspect; he could not hear if he was in Court.

Mr. Park. If he had been as deaf as deaf could be, if he had seen a person point at the Defendant, that would have been sufficient for his purpose.

Lord Ellenborough. But you saw how he searched round the Court before he found him.

Mr. Park. But when I have a case presented to me I must do my duty, however painful it may be.

Lord Ellenborough. Certainly, it is my wish you should.

The Cap was shewn to the witness.

Mr. Bolland. Was the cap like that?

A. It was in the same form as that.

Q. Was the lace like that?

A. It was like that; I cannot say that was the cap.
