_Q._ Was a person of the name of Man there?

_A._ I do not know such a person; there were not above a dozen of them there; but I am not there often myself.
_Q._ How many members of the club are there?

_A._ No, I do not exactly.

_Q._ Did not you describe the person as one that had a great red nose, and a blotched face?
_A._ A red nose I said, and his face was very red that morning, for it was very frosty. I said he was pitted with the small-pox.
_Lord Ellenborough._ Red or not sure you are, of the ident.i.ty of the face?
_A._ Yes, I am sure of it.
_Mr. Richardson._ It was you that told him of the stand of coaches in the Lambeth Road?
_A._ Yes.

_A._ Yes.
_Q._ That is not far from the Asylum, is it?
_A._ No.
_Q._ You went there for the purpose of getting a coach in the first instance?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ And then you told him he might perhaps get one at the Marsh Gate?
_A._ Yes.
