re gone to Church, and stayed
at home till about four o'clock, he then went out again. I was not at
home then, I was over the way with my master's dog, leaning with my back
against the rail, when he came down on the opposite side of the road
facing the door. I went out with my wife soon after, and returned in the
evening about eleven or a few minutes afterwards; he was not at home
then, he came home afterwards, in five minutes after I got home, that
was a few minutes after eleven; he slept at home that night. I and my
wife were down in the kitchen taking our suppers, and my master was in
the drawing room; before we got to bed, I heard him pass my room door to
go to his bed-room, that might be about half-past eleven. He did not
breakfast at home the next morning; I did not see him the next morning;
I saw him about three o'clock in the afternoon of Monday; my wife made
his bed."
Then he says, on cross-examination, "I let him in at a little after
eleven at night. He rapped at the door in his usual way; his usual rap
was not over loud, between loud and gentle; he went to his bed-room that
night; I did not see him in bed the next morning, I heard him go into
the bed-room." Then he is shewn a letter, which he says, "I wrote to
Lord Yarmouth," (but that is not given in evidence) "I have my master's
military grey great coat here at Guildhall; I never acknowledged that my
master slept from home that night, to Mr. Murray; I never told either
Mr. or Mrs. Davidson, that coming home and not finding my master at
home, I had left the key for him at the usual place in the area, that he
might let himself in; I never told them so, either on Monday the 21st or
any other day, to the best of my knowledge. He has no attendance in the
morning, he does every thing for himself, he does not usually ring his
bell of a morning before he comes down to breakfast; he is a very quiet
man, I never knew him otherwise, he never makes a disturbance, he walks
about very much. My master finally left his lodgings on Sunday the 27th;
I remember changing a L.50 note with Seeks," (that is the L.50. I have
mentioned to you) "received it from Mr. De Berenger, I received it on
the 27th, the day he went away; I took his things to the Angel Inn
behind Saint Clement's; a day or two before he left to go into the
country he gave me L.20. I never saw him give Sophia L.13. if I was in
the room, I did not notice it. I do not remember, after my master
finally went away, M
