haise and pair to bring
back to Dartford, and have four good horses ready to go on to
London with all expedition.

Yours, &c.
R. SANDOM,
Northfleet.

Monday Morning.
_Addressed,
Mr. Foxall, Rose Inn, Dartford._

_Mr. Bolland._ In consequence of that you sent a chaise to Northfleet?

_A._ I did.

_Q._ Did you see the chaise on its return from Northfleet?

_A._ Yes; the chaise drove furiously into my yard with two gentlemen and
Mr. Sandom, with white cockades in their hats.

_Q._ What sort of hats were they?

_A._ They were very large cocked hats.

_Q._ Were they flat hats; what are called opera hats?

_A._ I did not see; indeed they did not take them off.

_Q._ Were they quite plain hats?

_A._ Yes, with the exception of white paper or ribband, I cannot say
which.

_Q._ How were the gentlemen dressed?

_A._ In blue clothes I think; but there were such a number of persons
hurrying into the yard, that I had not an opportunity of examining; the
four horses were ready; I gave them another chaise, as I feared the
wheels of this were not very well greased.

_Q._ Had you any conversation with Sandom, or either of the gentlemen
with him?

_A._ I said to Mr. Sandom, "Will those gentlemen breakfast;" he said,
"No, they have breakfasted at my house, they have been in an open boat
all night, and are very much fatigued." I then asked him a question,
"Who are they?" he said he did not know, but they had news of the utmost
consequence, and begged I would let them have good horses.

_Q._ Did any thing else pass between you and Mr. Sandom?

_A._ No, further than my asking where to; and they said to Westminster.
I told the boys I supposed they were going to the Admiralty.

_Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Pell._

_Q._ What time was it you received the note?

_A._ I think the note must have been received about seven o'clock.

_Q._ In the morning?

_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 h
