_A._ Yes; the boy was unacquainted with the town, and he went to the house opposite with the note, and a man pointed to me as I was standing at the door.

_Q._ At what time did the chaise come with Mr. Sandom and those gentlemen?

_A._ I think it could not exceed an hour; I was quite surprised at the chaise coming back in so short a time.

_Q._ What is Mr. Sandom, do you know him?

_A._ I only know him from his occasionally having horses to take him to Northfleet; I understood he lived there.



_Q._ How long had he lived there?

_A._ That I really cannot say; I think he had been in the habits of occasionally having horses from me for nine months before that time.

_Foxall Baldry sworn._

_Examined by Mr. Bolland._

_Q._ You are a post-boy at the Rose at Dartford?

_A._ I ride occasionally.

_Q._ Did you ride on the morning of the 21st?

_A._ I did.

_Q._ Do you recollect a chaise coming from Northfleet to your house?

_A._ Yes I do.

_Q._ Who was in that chaise do you recollect?

_A._ I have seen one of the gentlemen since; I did not know Mr. Sandom at the time personally.

_Q._ Was Mr. Sandom one of those persons?

_A._ Yes he was.

_Q._ Do you know the other two of those persons?

_A._ I do not.

_Q._ Did you drive either of the pair of horses that took those gentlemen to town?

_A._ I drove the leaders.

_Q._ Did they give you any orders as to which way they were to go?

_A._ Just as we were coming to Shooter's Hill, Mr. Sandom got out of the chaise with one of those other gentlemen, walked some little distance, and when he came back I was altering my harness; and he beckoned me, and said, My lads we do not want you to distress your horses up this hill, but when you get up you may get on a little: He asked what the gates were, and said, I shall give you twelve s.h.i.+llings a-piece for driving; but as to saying to what part I did not know at the time; my fellow-servant at the wheel ordered me to go over London Bridge, down Lombard Street, along Cheapside, over Blackfriar's Bridge, down the New Cut, and when I was in sight of the Marsh gate I was ordered to stop.

_Q._ Did you take that course?

_A._ I did.

_Q._ How was Mr. Sandom drest?

_A._ Why I really cannot say, but I think he had a brown great coat on.

_Q._ How were the other two persons dressed?

_A._ They were in blue great coats I think.

_Q._ Do you recollect what sort of hats they had?

_A._ They had round hats when they left me.

_Q._ What sort of hats had they when they got into the chaise?

_A._ They had military hats on.

_Q._ Was there any ornament in the hats?

_A._ A paper or ribband, I cannot tell which.

_Q._ Had the horses any ornaments upon them?

_A._ Yes, laurels.

_Q._ Do you know by whose orders they were put on?

_A._ No, I do not.

_Q._ You were near the Marsh gate you say?

_A._ Yes, I could see the Marsh-gate when I pulled up.

_Q._ Did the parties get out there?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ How were they dressed then?

_A._ They had taken off their military hats and put round ones on, and they walked away.

_Q._ At what hour in the morning was it when you got to the Marsh gate?

_A._ I should think about eleven o'clock; I cannot say for half an hour.
