_Q._ Have you your master's military great coat here?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ His military grey great coat?

_A._ Yes; not in this present place.

_Q._ It is at Guildhall?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ Now attend to this question, have you not acknowledged that your
master slept from home that night?

_A._ Never.

_Q._ Have you not acknowledged it to Mr. Murray?

_A._ Never.

_Q._ I give you notice he is here?

_A._ I know he is.

_Q._ Now I ask you, did you not on Monday the 21st, tell Mr. or Mrs.
Davidson, or both, that coming home, and not finding your master at
home, you had left the key for him at the usual place in the area, that
he might let himself in?

_A._ I did not tell them so, upon my oath.

_Q._ Neither of them?

_A._ No, neither of them.

_Q._ Did you tell Mr. or Mrs. Davidson that on any other day; did you
ever tell them so?

_A._ No, not to the best of my knowledge.

_Q._ To the best of your knowledge?

_A._ I never told them so.

_Q._ As you did not attend your master on the Monday morning, who
attended him and brought him his shaving things, and gave him the usual
attendance of a gentleman?

_A._ He never has any attendance; I never go to his bed room till about
half past eight, and sometimes he is up, and sometimes not.

_Q._ Do you mean to say, he is a gentleman that wants no attendance?

_A._ Yes; he cleans his teeth, and washes himself and powders his hair,
without my being in his bed room.

_Q._ He does not usually ring his bell in a morning, I suppose, doing
without attendance?

_A._ Not before he comes down to breakfast.

_Q._ What time does he usually come down to breakfast?

_A._ At different hours.

_Q._ What is his usual hour?

_A._ Sometimes nine, sometimes ten, sometimes eight.

_Q._ Till he comes down, he does not ring for you?

_A._ Very seldom.

_Q._ He is a very quiet, a remarkably quiet man in his lodging?

_A._ I never knew him to be otherwise.

_Q._ Not a person walking about, or making a noise of any kind?

_A._ Not making any disturbance; he walks about very much.

_Q._ Your master finally left his lodgings on Sunday the 27th.

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ Do you remember your paying or changing a fifty-pound note with a
Mr. Seeks?

_A._ I do.

_Q._ From whom did you receive that fifty-pound note?

_A._ Mr. De Berenger.

_Q._ On what day did you receive that?

_A._ On the 27th, I think it was.

_Q._ On the Sunday?

_A._ Yes; I think it was.
