_Q._ You say that at first he was walking about the room?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ Did he employ himself in any other way while you were there?
_A._ I saw him before I went away sit down to write.
_Q._ Did you hear him order a pen, ink, and paper?
_A._ No, I did not.
_Q._ Did he, in your presence, say any thing as to whom he was writing to?
_A._ No, I could hear him talk, but not to understand him.
_Q._ That was owing to your deafness?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ Did he keep his cap on the whole time you were there, or did he take it off?
_A._ His cap was on while I was there.
_Q._ From the observation you made upon his person, can you point out who that person was whom you saw on that night; have you seen him? look round and see whether you see him here to-day.
(_The witness looked round the Court for some time._)
_A._ That is the gentleman (_pointing to De Berenger_.)
_Q._ Have you any doubt upon your mind about it.
_A._ No.
_Cross-examined by Mr. Park._
_Q._ Had you ever seen him before that night?
_A._ No.
_Q._ Have you ever seen him since?
_A._ No.
_Q._ How long did you see him?
_A._ I did not minute the time.
_Q._ Upon the whole, how many minutes do you think you can now say you saw him that night?
_A._ I might see him perhaps five or six minutes, or more. I was in the room twice.
_Q._ Were you there before Mr. Gourley, or after him?
_A._ I was in the room with him.
_Q._ Did you go over before Mr. Gourley, or after him?
_A._ After him--I followed him.
_Q._ Immediately?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ Did you come away as soon as he did, or did you remain there after him?
_A._ I did not take particular notice of that; the door was open, and we went in and out as we liked.
_Q._ Will you tell us whether the word you used before was, that he had a flat cap, or a flap cap--had it not a flap to it?
_A._ It was a cap rather slouched down, no brim to it.
_Q._ How could it slouch down, if it had no brim to it? I do not understand that; if it had merely a crown to it that would go round the head, it would not slouch down.
_A._ It was drawn over his forehead.
_Q._ The round part of it was drawn down over his forehead?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ Where have you been all the time that gentleman has been speaking?
_A._ What gentleman?
_Q._ Were you out of Court?
_A._ No, I was not out of Court.
_Q._ You have been behind?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ Have you been in view of his Lordship all the time?
_A._ No.
_Q._ When did you come into Court; did you come in when Mr. Gourley was examining, or when Marsh, the former witness, was examining?
