_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.

_Q._ You were a hatter, in business at one time, and are not now?

_A._ Yes; I sell a great many hats now, though I have no house.

_Q._ Perhaps though you do not take notice of a man's whiskers, you take notice of his coat; what coat had he on?

_A._ A black coat.

_Q._ That you did take notice of?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ It was so remarkable he should wear a black coat, you took notice of that?

_A._ No; I do not know that it is remarkable; but I know he had a black coat.

_Q._ Was his head powdered?

_A._ I cannot say; I did not see his hat off.

_Q._ He staid half an hour with his hat on?

_A._ He went into the back part of the house.

_Q._ Do you mean to say, he staid half an hour in the house with his hat on?

_A._ I do not mean to say, he stopped the whole time in house; he went into the garden.

_Q._ On the 20th of February he went into the garden?

_A._ Yes.

_Lord Ellenborough._ Did he stand ancle-deep in the garden, or how?

_A._ I cannot say, indeed.

_Mr. Gurney._ Was not there a good deal of snow at that time on the ground?

_A._ I cannot say, indeed.

_Q._ At what time was this?

_A._ Between eight and nine in the evening.

_Q._ And they took a walk in the garden?

_A._ Yes; it was in consequence of some alteration they were going to make in the premises.

_Q._ So that they went at ten o'clock at night to survey this alteration in the premises?

_A._ No; it was between eight and nine.

_Q._ It is just as dark then as it is at ten o'clock; they went to make a survey in the morning, did they not?

_A._ They had made a survey in the morning, I saw them pacing the garden.

_Q._ You told me they went out in the evening, to make a survey of the premises?

_A._ I cannot say what they went for, but I know they went there.

_Q._ Do you happen to know, whether Mr. Donithorne is acquainted with Mr. Tahourdin, the attorney?

_A._ I do not know whether he is acquainted with him, or not.

_Q._ You swear that?

_A._ I swear that; I do not know that he is acquainted with him particularly.

_Q._ Upon your oath have you not seen them together?

_A._ Yes, I have.

_Q._ Had not you seen them together before that time?

_A._ No, I had not.

_Q._ How often have you seen them together since?

_A._ I never saw them together but once.

_Q._ When was that?

_A._ One day last week.
