whether he has whiskers or not.

_Q._ I happen to look at your face, and I cannot help seeing that you
have whiskers, and a man who has such, might look at those on another
person's face; do you mean to say, that in viewing the countenance of a
gentleman you were acquainted with, you did not look so as to see
whether he had whiskers?

_A._ Not unless a person spoke to me about them.

_Q._ Unless a person said "whiskers," you would not look at them?

_A._ No.

_Q._ Mr. De Berenger had not whiskers that night, however?

_A._ No.

_Q._ You were a hatter, in business at one time, and are not now?

_A._ Yes; I sell a great many hats now, though I have no house.

_Q._ Perhaps though you do not take notice of a man's whiskers, you take
notice of his coat; what coat had he on?

_A._ A black coat.

_Q._ That you did take notice of?

_A._ Yes.

_Lord Ellenborough._ Did he stand ancle-deep in the garden, or how?

_A._ I cannot say, indeed.

_Mr. Gurney._ Was not there a good deal of snow at that time on the
ground?

_A._ I cannot say, indeed.

_Q._ At what time was this?

_A._ Between eight and nine in the evening.

_Q._ And they took a walk in the garden?

_A._ Yes; it was in consequence of some alteration they were going to
make in the premises.

_Q._ So that they went at ten o'clock at night to survey this alteration
in the premises?

_A._ No; it was between eight and nine.

_Q._ It is just as dark then as it is at ten o'clock; they went to make
a survey in the morning, did they not?

_A._ They had made a survey in the morning, I saw them pacing the
garden.

_Q._ You told me they went out in the evening, to make a survey of the
premises?

_A._ I cannot say what they went for, but I know they went there.

_Q._ Do you happen to know, whether Mr. Donithorne is acquainted with
Mr. Tahourdin, the attorney?

_A._ I do not know w
