n's bounty, but he is still
a trustee for his fellow-servant. "I did not," he says, "hear him tell
the coachman where to drive to. The name of the coachman is Crane. I
know the person of the waterman very well. The gentleman was dressed
with a dark fur round cap, and with white lace, and some gold round it;
whether it was gold or silver I cannot say; he had a red coat on
underneath his outer coat; I think his outer coat was a kind of a brown
coat, but I will not swear to that; I saw a red coat underneath it, down
as far as the waist; I did not see the skirts of it; I think it was
turned up with yellow, but I should not like to swear that; it had some
sort of a star upon it. I think upon his outer coat there was a kind of
white fur; but I should not like to swear to that. I should know him in
a moment. I have seen him and knew him again; that is the gentleman
(_pointing to him_); I have no doubt. I saw him once before in
King-street, Westminster, in a room; I knew him then the moment I saw
him; I never had the least doubt about him; the moment I saw him I knew
him."
Upon his cross-examination, he says, "I was not told this morning in
what part of the court he sat; I looked round the court when I came in,
and saw him immediately; I never saw him before February." He is asked
about a reward that was offered by the Stock Exchange, he says, "I heard
of it the day it was printed, two or three days after this transaction
happened. I remember a club at Dartford, called the hat club; I was
there;" and then there is some foolish story about his laying a wager
there; but as there is no evidence brought to impeach his testimony upon
the grounds to which the cross-examination went, it is unnecessary to
pursue that part of the examination further; he says "Lambeth Marsh is
not far from the Asylum. I went there for the purpose of getting a
coach; _that he says_ (pointing to Bartholomew) _is the waterman_."
Then William Bartholomew the waterman is called; he says "I am a
waterman attending the stand of coaches at the Marsh Gate; I know
Shilling by seeing him come up with post chaises; he is a Dartford
chaise-boy. I remember his coming with a chaise on the 21st of February;
there were four horses, and there was a gentleman in it; it was between
nine and half past nine in the morning; there was only one coach on the
stand; one Crane drove the coach; I saw the gentleman get out of the
chaise into the coach, he stepped out of the one in
