_A._ I did not.
_Q._ Was your master at home all that week, from the 20th to the 27th?
_A._ He was not always at home.
_Q._ He was at home every day?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ Going out as usual?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ On the 21st, for instance?
_A._ The 21st he went out to dine.
_Q._ Where did he go to?
_A._ I cannot positively say.
_Q._ Did he tell you where he was going to?
_A._ I do not recollect.
_Q._ Upon your oath, did he not tell you he had been to Mr. Cochrane Johnstone's?
_A._ No.
_Q._ You swear that?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ Nor that he was going there?
_A._ No.
_Q._ When you came home on the Monday, did you see any black coat in the room?
_A._ I did.
_Q._ Was that your master's black coat, or a strange black coat?
_A._ A strange black coat.
_Q._ That black coat must have fitted your master vastly well?
_A._ I cannot say, I never saw it on.
_Q._ You brushed it, did not you?
_A._ Yes; but not on his back.
_Q._ You are used to brus.h.i.+ng his coats?
_A._ Of course.
_Q._ Now, a servant used to brush his master's coat, must know the size pretty well; this would be rather a short coat upon him, would it not?
_A._ No; I do not think it would.
_Q._ Upon your oath, would it not have been a great deal too long; was not it the coat of a man six feet high?
_A._ I did not know who owned the coat.
_Q._ I did not ask you that; but was not that the coat of a gentleman six feet high?
_A._ I do not know.
_Q._ You are not competent to say what sized man that would fit?
_A._ That coat would fit me very well; it is rather wide.
_Q._ Not at all too long for you?
_A._ No, not at all.
_Q._ You have seen Lord Cochrane, have not you?
_A._ Never in my life, to my knowledge.
_Q._ You have sworn some affidavits, have you not?
_A._ I have.
_Q._ Did you draw them yourself?
_A._ I did.
_Q._ Without any a.s.sistance?
_A._ Without any a.s.sistance.
_Q._ Whom had you seen before you drew them?
_A._ I cannot say who I saw, thousands.
_Q._ Upon that business?
