_Q._ With respect to the letter in question, although it is of a larger
description than Mr. De Berenger's usual writing, does it appear to your
lordship to be at all a feigned hand, as disguising the real hand?

_A._ Another question to which I am not competent to give an answer; if
I was to look through the letter--there is one letter which creates a
suspicion, but I should never have suspected it on a cursory view of the
letter; it is the letter R before Du Bourg, but that I should have never
looked at or suspected; that looks more like his hand-writing than any
other part; it looks like the way in which he makes the R of Random.

_Q._ Does your lordship mean the large capital R, or the little r?

_A._ The large capital R is the only letter I can see that looks in the
least like his hand.

_Q._ Your judgment upon that letter, upon the whole inspection of it,
is, that it is not his hand-writing?

_A._ I should never suspect it, except from that letter.

_Lord Ellenborough._ It is a larger character?

_A._ Yes, it is a fuller character.

_Q._ It is a stiffer character, and more upright?

_A._ It is less upright, I think, than his; it is more angular and
longer.

_Lord Ellenborough._ That is his usual writing, is it not? (_shewing
another letter to the witness._)

_A._ Oh, yes; certainly, I am perfectly familiar with that.

_Lord Ellenborough._ You are certainly borne out in your observation
upon the letter; look at that letter R again?

_A._ It struck me on reading the letter.

_Q._ In what manner an artificial letter may be written, so as to
disable a person from saying whether it is the hand-writing of a certain
person, you cannot say?

_A._ I am perfectly incompetent, as I informed your lordship and the
jury before, to give any judgment upon that.

_Q._ What is the uniform of your corps?

_A._ The uniform is, the waistcoat green, with a crimson cape.

_Q._ A bottle green, is it not?

_A._ Some have got it a little darker than others, but it should be a
deep bottle-green with a crimson collar; the great coat is a waistcoat
with black fur round it, consequently no crimson collar.

_Q._ The body in your uniform is not red?

_A._ It is deep bottle green.

_A Juryman._ A jacket or coat?

_A._ It is a waistcoat, very like the light-horse uniform.

_Lord Ellenborough._ It is almost unnecessary to ask you, whether the
members of your corps wear any decorations; a star or a cross?

_A._ Whe
