it to be his
hand-writing?" and he says, "I do not know what to say, this pencil is
not like what he writes in general; it being in pencil puzzles me more
than any thing else."

Then General Campbell is called, who says, "I know Mr. Cochrane
Johnstone; I met him the second week in October last, I think at the
Perth meeting; he shewed me a prospectus of a new public building to be
erected in the Regent's Park, or in the neighbourhood of it, I think he
called it Vittoria." He is shewn the prospectus, and he says, "I believe
this is a copy of the same that he communicated to me in his or my own
apartment."

Then on the part of Mr. De Berenger, Lord Yarmouth is called; he says,
"I am lieutenant colonel commandant of the regiment of Sharp-shooters.
Captain De Berenger was acting adjutant, a non-commissioned officer. I
have known him since 1811; very early in that year. I cannot recollect
the day. I have received letters from him, and have seen him
occasionally write, and have seen him frequently on the subject of the
contents of those letters, and am acquainted with his character of
hand-writing." Then that letter sent to Admiral Foley is shewn to him;
he says, "If I had heard none of the circumstances, I should not have
believed it was his hand-writing. He solicited to go out in the month of
January last. Some time back he told me, that he had very nearly
arranged to go out to drill the men on board the Tonnant."

Upon his cross-examination, he says, "the hand-writing of this is much
larger than Mr. De Berenger's; he generally writes a round and neater
hand." He is shewn another letter; and he says, "I received that letter
on the day it bears date, or the day immediately after." He is then
shewn the writing in the road book; and he says, "It is larger than De
Berenger's usual writing; some part of it is not larger, it is less
round; it is more angular. I am not sufficient conversant with
hand-writing, to swear either way to this." Then he looks again at the
letter sent from Dover to Admiral Foley; he says, "the letter R looks
very much like his hand-writing in the R of Random, before De Berenger,
Random being his second name." Then being asked, what he should think of
this gentleman coming to him in his bottle-green coat of uniform; he
says, "It would have been more military that he should come so, though I
never exacted it of him. I should not have been angry at it, but should
have thought it the regular dress for him t
