Part 200

Q. He never rang for your husband to attend him?

A. Sometimes he did; but he knew my husband was going out that morning, and therefore he did not ring.

Q. Did it not appear to you extraordinary that morning, that there was no call for breakfast till that hour?

A. Yes; I supposed my master had breakfasted out, of course, when he came in.

Q. But you did not know of his going out?

A. No.

Q. Was not your surprize excited by his not ringing?

A. Yes; I was rather surprized that he had not rang.

Q. Do you recollect how he was dressed on the Sunday when he went out last; you do not mean to say that you saw him go out at four o'clock?

A. I do not recollect.

Q. The last time when you saw him go out on Sunday, how was he dressed?

A. He had on a black coat and waistcoat, and grey overalls.

Q. Of course, not seeing him on the Monday, you did not know in what dress he went out that morning?

A. No.

Q. But you say he returned home in a black coat?

A. Yes.

Q. Was that black coat his own?

A. That I cannot say.

Q. Was not that coat much too long for your master?

A. I did not observe it.

Lord Ellenborough. He did not come home in the same black coat he had gone out in on the Sunday?

A. That I cannot tell; I was not in the habit of brushing his coat.

Mr. Bolland. Did you ever see Lord Cochrane?

A. No.

Q. Was not the coat that he came home in, on the Monday, so long, that you recollect remarking it could not belong to him?

A. No, I did not remark that.

Q. Did you see the coat lie on the chair afterwards?

A. It might be there, but I did not observe it.
