._ Did the gentleman send you with a note to my lord?

_A._ Yes, he did; he first asked me where he was gone to, and I told
him, he was gone to Cumberland-street to breakfast, because his lordship
told me so.

_Q._ That was to his uncle's?

_A._ It was.

_Q._ Did you go to Cumberland-street after him?

_A._ I did.

_Q._ Not finding him at Cumberland-street, where did you go to seek him?

_A._ I came back to our house in Green-street, with the note; I informed
the gentleman who had written the note, that he was not there; and the
gentleman said, Pray do you know where he is gone to, or where his
lordship could be found? I told him, I thought I could find him, but I
thought I might be too late; for when his lordship went out, he said to
me, Thomas, after you have got your breakfast, follow me, with that
globe glass, to Mr. King's; I had been there.

_Q._ You had been to Mr. King's before?

_A._ Yes; on Saturday I went with some things, and this globe glass I
should have taken on Saturday, but I forgot it.

_Q._ His lordship having told you to follow him with this globe glass to
Mr. King's, you supposed he might be there?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ Was that the reason for taking the note to him there?

_A._ Yes; I told the gentleman that I most likely should find him at

this gentleman had come or not, I should have gone there with this
glass.

_Q._ You took the note with you?

_A._ He took the note from me, and said, I will add two or three more
lines to it.

_Q._ Did you take the note to his lordship at Mr. King's?

_A._ I did.

_Q._ Did you see him there?

_A._ I did; I enquired of Mr. King's men--

_Q._ I did not ask you whether you enquired of Mr. King's men, but,
whether you saw him there?

_A._ I did.

_Q._ Did his lordship read the note in your presence?

_A._ He did.

_Q._ Did you leave him there, at Mr. King's?

_A._ I left him at Mr. King's.

_Q._ Had his lordship another man-servant at that time?

_A._ Not in Green-street; no one but me.

_Q._ Where was his other servant?

_A._ His other servant was at his lordship's country seat, near
Southampton, and had been there two or three months before that.

_Q._ Had he discharged any servant?

_A._ Mr. Davis he had given warning to, a month after his lordship was
appointed to the Tonnant?

_Q._ When did Davis quit him?

_A._ Davis left him about two days, or thre
