to his brother."
Mr. Bowering says, "I am clerk in the Adjutant General's Office. Major
Cochrane, the brother of Lord Cochrane, was returned as with the army in
the South of France, "sick," on the 25th of January. The returns ran
from the 24th of December to the 24th of January."
Then Thomas Dewman says, "I am a servant to Lord Cochrane, and have been
seventeen years in the family. I carried a note to Lord Cochrane at Mr.
King's manufactory; I remember the gentleman coming to Lord Cochrane's
in a hackney coach; I do not know that I have seen him before or since.
He first asked, where Lord Cochrane was gone to? and I told him he was
gone to Cumberland-street to breakfast, because his Lordship told me he
was going there to his uncle's; I went there after him, and not finding
him, I returned to the gentleman; his Lordship had told me to follow him
with some globe glass to Mr. King's. I had been there on Saturday; I
supposed he might be there; I told the gentleman that I most likely
should find him there; I should however have gone, if the gentleman had
not sent me; he took the note from me, and said, I will add two or three

kitchen when the gentleman came; Davis is gone." This, it should seem,
is only to account for not calling Davis. "Davis is gone with Admiral
Fleming to the West Indies. It was a little past ten when the gentleman
arrived. I was engaged to Lord Cochrane since Christmas; I had been in
the family of Lord Dundonald; I do not know Holloway or Lyte. When I
gave the note to Lord Cochrane, he said, 'Well, Thomas, I will return.'
I waited on Major Cochrane when he first went into the army; I saw Lord
Cochrane leave the place, that is Mr. King's."
Then it is admitted, that Lord Cochrane has a patent for the invention
of a lamp, dated the 28th of February last.
Mr. Gabriel Tahourdin says, "I have known Mr. De Berenger five or six
years; I introduced him to Mr. Cochrane Johnstone, in May 1813. Mr.
Cochrane Johnstone was in possession of a place at Paddington, named
Vittoria, which he was desirou
