ight got the
paper you did not go in again?

_A._ No; he wished me gone, and I did not go in again.

_Q._ Then altogether, except for seeing him for five minutes in the
passage, and you going into the parlour for the short time you did, and
afterwards when you saw him in the post chaise, and when he offered the
postboys a Napoleon each you did not see him?

_A._ No.

_Q._ You had nothing to do personally with this inn called the Ship?

_A._ No, I keep the Packet Boat opposite.

_Q._ Do you know whether there had been a large company at the Ship Inn
that day?

_A._ I do not know.

_Q._ You had not seen Mr. Wright the innkeeper late in the evening of
that day, had you?

_A._ No.

_Q._ Had you ever seen this person who you say is the gentleman sitting
before me before that time?

_Re-examined by Mr. Bolland._

_Q._ Before you sent for the lights, had the gentleman told you what his
business was, and that he had landed from the Beach?

him at the time till the lights came.

_Q._ Was your attention particularly called to him as a stranger of some
importance?

_A._ Undoubtedly.

_Q._ You have said you had not seen the person before whom you have
pointed out?

_Q._ Did you know him when you saw him?

_Q._ Had you the least doubt upon your mind of his being the man?

_A._ Not the least.
