Q. How long before that time had he left off wearing the large whiskers he used to have?

A. I cannot say.

Q. He had not them on that night?

A. I cannot say that I saw any alteration.

Q. He had no whiskers on that night?

A. No.

Q. He had never been used to wear whiskers?

A. That I cannot say.

Q. You knew him well, and had seen him often?

A. Yes.

Q. And you mean to say, you do not remember whether he wore whiskers on not?

A. He might or might not, I do not look so particularly into a gentleman's face, as to see whether he has whiskers or not.

Q. I happen to look at your face, and I cannot help seeing that you have whiskers, and a man who has such, might look at those on another person's face; do you mean to say, that in viewing the countenance of a gentleman you were acquainted with, you did not look so as to see whether he had whiskers?

A. Not unless a person spoke to me about them.

Q. Unless a person said "whiskers," you would not look at them?

A. No.

Q. Mr. De Berenger had not whiskers that night, however?

A. No.
