ny money except it was a shilling or an
eighteen penny piece.

_Q._ After this expedition to Northfleet, how did he appear in
circumstances?

_A._ Oh, better; he had a L10. note and a L1. note, and the day before
he left his lodgings he had three L2. notes.

_Q._ Do you mean before he finally left his lodgings?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ When was that?

_A._ The second of March I think it was, the second or third to the best
of my knowledge.

_Q._ Do you know of his purchasing any new cloaths for himself?

_A._ Yes, on the Sunday he bought a new coat, dark green, with yellow
buttons.

_Q._ What Sunday was that?

_A._ Not the 20th.

_Q._ The Sunday after his return?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ Did he buy any other articles of dress?

_A._ A new hat.

_Q._ On what day did he buy that?

_A._ The Monday.

_Q._ Was that the Monday after his return?

_A._ The Monday after he had bought his new coat.

_Q._ Did he tell you whether it had been a successful expedition to him?

_A._ He said he was to have L.50 for what he had done.

_Q._ Had you at any time any conversation with him about the nature of
his journey?

_A._ No, never. He wished when he went away that it might be kept a
secret where he was gone to; he did not wish any body to know where he
was going to; he seemed very much agitated, and I desired he would not
tell me that I might not tell any body else, and I did not know then.

_Q._ You keep the Rose Inn at Dartford?

_A._ I do.

_Q._ Look at that letter, and tell me whether you received it at any
time, and when, from the person whose name it bears?

_A._ I did.

_Q._ I see it purports to be from Mr. Sandom?

_A._ It was from Mr. Sandom.

_Q._ Did you know Mr. Sandom before that time?

_A._ I did, by his frequently having chaises ordered from my house?

_Q._ Did you execute that order?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ And sent a chaise to bring the party to Dartford?

_A._ Yes; and I had horses ready, as the letter advised me.

_Q._ Had you sent chaises on a similar message before?

_A._ Yes I had, by messages, and by letter; and he also came down there
in the chaise.

_Lord Ellenborough._ By a message in writing coming to you?

_A._ Yes sometimes; this came by a boy.

_Q._ You do not know his hand-writing?

_A._ No I do not.

_The Letter was read as follows_:
