y every gentleman in the Court saw
me.

_Q._ Had you never seen him before this time you speak of in February?

_A._ I have seen him since, I never saw him before February, to my
knowledge.

_Q._ When was it that you heard of the reward which was offered by the
Stock Exchange?

_A._ I heard of it the day it was printed.

_Q._ How long after this transaction happened?

_A._ I think two or three days afterwards.

_Q._ Do you remember the Club at Dartford, called the Hat Club?

_A._ Yes, perfectly well; I was there.

_Q._ Do you remember the conversation there, whether Crane or you should
get the reward?

_A._ Yes, I remember being asked, whether I thought I should get the
reward, and I said I thought not.

_Q._ You produced your purse, with what you had got?

_A._ Yes, I produced my purse, and rapped it on the table in this way,
but that was money I had laid out before; I had received five pounds
from the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange towards my expences.

_Q._ What might be your observation, when you rapped it upon the table?

_A._ To let them know that I had it.

_Q._ Did you say any thing about the yellow boys?

_A._ Yes, those were the gold Napoleons.

_Q._ Did you not say that the gentleman applauded you, and said you were
a clever fellow?

_A._ No, I did not, I would have said very wrong if I had, I am sure.

_Q._ I think they would have done you no more than justice. Did you not
on that occasion say, you would swear for that side that paid you best?

_A._ No, I did not.

_Q._ On that occasion, nor any other?

_A._ No, I never did, you may depend upon it.

_Q._ Nor any thing to that effect?

_A._ No, I did not.

_Q._ Who were present at this time?

_A._ Upon my word I do not know; several members round about.

_Q._ Several neighbours?

_A._ Yes, they were members.

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

_A._ I do not know him.

_Q._ Or Wood?

_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._ I do not know, indeed; the hat maker pays my money for me; being
very much out, I am not there one time in ten.

_Q._ When you are there, you do not know who are present?

_A._ No, I do not exactly.

_Lord Ellenborough._ What is this Hat Club?

_A._ We pay a shilling a week, and have a pint of beer; I have not been
there these several weeks.
