Part 110

_A._ Sometimes nine, sometimes ten, sometimes eight.

_Q._ Till he comes down, he does not ring for you?

_A._ Very seldom.

_Q._ He is a very quiet, a remarkably quiet man in his lodging?

_A._ I never knew him to be otherwise.

_Q._ Not a person walking about, or making a noise of any kind?

_A._ Not making any disturbance; he walks about very much.

_Q._ Your master finally left his lodgings on Sunday the 27th.

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ Do you remember your paying or changing a fifty-pound note with a Mr. Seeks?

_A._ I do.

_Q._ From whom did you receive that fifty-pound note?

_A._ Mr. De Berenger.

_Q._ On what day did you receive that?

_A._ On the 27th, I think it was.

_Q._ On the Sunday?

_A._ Yes; I think it was.

_Q._ The day he went away?

_A._ Yes; I think it was.

_Q._ When he went away, he took his things to the Angel Inn, St.

Clements.

_A._ I took them for him.

_Q._ For him to go into the country?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ Did you receive no more than fifty pounds from him; did you not also receive a twenty pound from him?

_A._ I did not; not the same day.

_Q._ What day did you receive that twenty pounds?

_A._ I cannot positively say.

_Q._ Was it a day or two before he went away?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ Did you receive also a two pound from him?

_A._ I do not recollect.

_Q._ Did you receive and give to any person, of the name of Sophia, thirteen pounds from him?

_A._ No; I gave none to Sophia.

_Q._ Did you see him give her any thing?

_A._ No, I did not; if I was in the room I did not notice it.

_Q._ Do you know any person of the name of Hebden, or Heberdine?

_A._ No.

_Q._ Do you remember, the day before your master finally went away, Mr.

Cochrane Johnstone calling with a letter?

_A._ I do not remember that; I was not at home.

_Q._ Upon your oath, did not a gentleman call there, who you told Mr.

Davidson was Mr. Cochrane Johnstone?

_A._ Upon my oath I was not at home; she told me a gentleman called there, and giving a description of him, I said, most likely it was Mr.

Cochrane Johnstone.

_Q._ You knew Mr. Cochrane Johnstone?

_A._ Very little.

_Q._ But you did know him?

_A._ I once saw him.

_Q._ Did you not tell her on the Sunday, that if your master had been at home on the Sat.u.r.day, when Mr. Cochrane Johnstone brought that letter, he would have gone off on the Sat.u.r.day night?

_A._ I did not.

_Q._ Did you not on the Sat.u.r.day or the Sunday?
