the nearest coach stand; I told him at the Bricklayers
Arms; he told me that would not do, it was too public, he was afraid
somebody would cast some reflections, and he should not like it." It was
bringing him very nearly within the vicinity of the King's Bench, where
it should seem his countenance was better known than he liked it to be.
"I told him I did not think anybody would do that, they would be too
glad to hear of the news; he asked if there was not a hackney-coach
stand in Lambeth; I said "yes," he said "drive me there.""

Now it has been observed he points his direction towards Lambeth, and
the other express, it seems, that went through the city, which has been
called the Northfleet expedition, is ordered not to go Lambeth, but to
Lambeth Marsh. The learned Counsel has remarked, that they are not
ordered to the same point at first, and that it would have been a strong
confirmatory point, if they had been so; but there is to a great degree
an identity of direction, an identity of object, and something like an
identity of disguise in military uniform; "he said, drive me there,
postboy, for your chaise will go faster than a hackney-coach will. I
drove him to the Three Stags in the Lambeth road; there was no
hackney-coach there. I ordered my fellow-servant to stop, and looked
back, and told the gentleman there was no coach there; but that there
was a coach stand at the Marsh Gate." So that the Marsh Gate arose

got there, I pulled up along side to a hackney-coach; I called the
coachman, and the waterman opened the coach door, and I opened the
chaise door; the gentleman stepped out of the chaise into the coach
without going on the ground;" the question which produced this answer
was put with a view to something adverted to, as published upon the
subject, in which some evidence was supposed capable of being opposed to
the story of the driver, in this particular, who, however, relates it
plainly and naturally, and is confirmed by the waterman, who was there
at the time; "he then gave me two Napoleons; he did not say one was for
my fellow-servant, and the other for myself, but I concluded that it was
so; I have got them here," and he produces them; so that it does not
appear that he has distributed this gentlema
