his hand-writing, but I do not believe it all is." _Mr. Gurney._ How much is there of it that you do not believe to be his writing. _A._ Some of the letters look like his hand-writing. _Q._ How much or how little of it do you think to be his hand-writing? _A._ The smaller parts look like his hand-writing. _Q._ Now I ask you upon your oath, have you any doubt of the whole of those two pages having been written by the same hand? _A._ Upon my word it is difficult to say. _Q._ Not at all so; I have looked at it attentively, and I know it is not difficult to say; do not you believe it all written by the same hand? [_The witness examined it again._] _Lord Ellenborough._ You can say whether you believe it to be De Berenger's hand-writing? _A._ Upon my word, I really do not know what to say. _Mr. Gurney._ I am quite content with that answer? _Lord Ellenborough._ Mr. Park, would you like to look the Dover letter? _Mr. Park._ I am no judge of hand-writing, my Lord. _Lord Ellenborough._ That may be a concealed hand-writing, and I should think it extremely likely. _Mr. Park._ I mean to call other witnesses to this; I have nothing to conceal in this case? _Lord Ellenborough._ No; you announced to us that you flatly contradict the whole of the story as to Mr. De Berenger. _Mr. Park._ Yes, I do my Lord; I observe this is all pencilling which has been shewn to you? _A._ Yes, it is. _Mr. Park._ Is this pencil writing in the same kind of character that a man writes when he writes with pen and ink; are you enabled to say from your knowledge of the hand-writing, whether it is or is not? _A._ That it is which puzzles me more than any thing, its being in pencil. _A Juryman._ We should like to see that road book. _Mr. Park._ Does your Lordship think the jury have a right to see that; they cannot take it for the purpose of comparing with any thing else? _Lord Ellenborough._ It is in evidence, being found in the desk of the defendant, they may look at each, if they please. _General Campbell, sworn._ _Examined by Mr. Brougham._ _Q._ Do you know Mr. Cochrane Johnstone? _A._ I do. _Q._ Did you meet him in the month of September or October last, at a meeting or hunt in Scotland? _A._ I met him the second week, I think in last October, at the Perth meeting. _Q._ Did he at that time shew you some plans and prospectus of the new place of amusement, in the nature
