urnishing information?

_A._ There were some gentlemen wanted to speak to Mr. De Berenger; Mr.
Wakefield went very close to Mr. De Berenger, and I declare to you upon
my oath I do not recollect any particular words.

_Q._ The substance is all I want?

_A._ I really do not recollect the substance.

_Q._ Was any thing said as to his furnishing information: recollect,
that you are to tell the whole truth upon your oath, as far as you
recollect it; what was said upon that subject, as far as you can
recollect?

_A._ He did; he said h
