_A._ Yes; and at breakfast; he always used to carry it up; I never did that, except when he was out.
_Q._ You did not know till your master came home, that he had been out that morning?
_A._ No, I did not.
_Q._ Your husband went out about eight o'clock.
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ Was not Mr. De Berenger in the habit of ringing his bell in the morning for breakfast?
_A._ After he came down he used to ring the drawing-room bell, and then I used to carry it up, if my husband was out.
_Q._ Who supplied him in the morning with water, for the purpose of shaving?
_A._ He never used warm water; he had water in his room.
_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 brus.h.i.+ng 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.
_Q._ What was in this bundle that he brought home?
_A._ I saw a part of a grey coat between the tie of the bundle.
_Q._ Did you make an affidavit upon this business?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ When was that?
_A._ The 24th of March.
_Q._ Who suggested to you the necessity of making the affidavit?
_A._ No body but my husband; it was his wish to make his, and he said, therefore Ann do you make yours.
_Lord Ellenborough._ What did you see besides the grey coat in the bundle?
_A._ I saw nothing but that.
_Lord Ellenborough._ Recollect yourself, because you have sworn you saw a green uniform?
_A._ There might be a green uniform.
_Q._ Was there, or was there not?
