to the other; I
opened the door, and let down the step for him; he had a brown cap on, a
dark drab military great coat, and a scarlet coat under it; I only took
notice of the lace under it. The gentleman ordered the coach to drive up
to Grosvenor-square; I do not remember that he told me the street in
Grosvenor-square. I really think that is the gentleman, it is like him;
dress makes such an alteration, that I cannot with certainty say."

Then Mr. Richard Barwick says, "I am a clerk to Messrs. Paxtons and Co.
bankers, in Pall Mall. I remember passing by Marsh Gate on the morning
of Monday the 21st of February. I observed a post-chaise with four
horses, it had galloped at a great rate; the horses were exceedingly
hot, and I saw a man getting into a hackney coach; I followed it, and
saw it as far as the Little Theatre in the Haymarket; I wanted to know
what the news was." Being a banker's clerk, it was natural he should
wish to know what the public news was. "I observed the coach passed the
public offices in the way." It appears, that he was a little surprized
at this person not stopping to communicate his news at those offices.
Whether he suspected him or not, he does not say; but observing that he
stopped at none, and it being time for him to go to the banker's shop,
he did not think it worth while to pursue him any further. This was
about nine o'clock, as he supposes, that he left him in the Haymarket.
Then he says, the gentleman had a cap on with a gold band, such as
German cavalry use at evening parade; this appears to me something like
it.

Then William Crane, the coachman, says, "I remember on Monday morning
the 21st of February, taking up a fare at Marsh Gate from a post-chaise
and four from Dartford. I was directed to drive to Grosvenor-square; I
drove into Grosvenor-square; the gentleman then put down the front
glass, and told me to drive to No 13, Green-street; the gentleman got
out there, and asked for a colonel or a captain somebody; I did not hear
the name, and they said he was gone to breakfast in Cumberland-street;
the gentleman asked if he could write a note; he then went into the
parlour; the gentleman gave me 4_s._; I asked him for another." Hearing
that Napoleons had been distributed to drivers, he thought that a
hackney-coachman might ask for a little more of his bounty than he at
first received. "He took a portmanteau that he had, and a sword, went in
and came out again, and gave me another shilling
