Part 27

A. I went on the Saturday.

Q. That was the very day before?

A. Yes.

Q. For the purpose of getting any intelligence that might arrive and to communicate it immediately to Mr. Farrell?

A. Yes, or Mr. Quin, the other proprietor of the newspaper.

Q. You told me just now, your object was to get information, partly for the newspaper;--what was the other object?

A. I do not recollect having said partly.

Q. I am in the recollection of the gentlemen of the Jury, whether you did not say so.

A Juryman. You said one object was that.

Mr. Richardson. What other object had you?

A. That was the only distinct object I had.

Q. Then you meant that you had no other object but that?

A. If there had been a preliminary Treaty of Peace arrived, I should have returned to London, and of course I would have made what I possibly could of the little Omnium I held.

Q. That was the other object?

A. Yes.

Q. All information of slighter importance you would have communicated to Mr. Farrell, who sent you; if it had been very important, you would have come to London and sold your omnium?

A. Certainly.

Re-examined by Mr. Bolland.

Q. At the time you saw that person in Westminster Hall, I think you told me he was standing with a number of others?

A. He was.

Q. Did any person point out that person to you?

A. No.

Q. Was it from the recollection of your own mind, that you discovered him?

A. It was.

Q. Do you know a boy of the name of Ions?

A. No. I do not know him by name.

William Ions was called into Court.

Mr. Bolland (to St. John.) Do you know that boy?
