_A._ No, I did not.
_Q._ On that occasion, nor any other?

_A._ No, I did not.
_Q._ Who were present at this time?
_A._ Upon my word I do not know; several members round about.
_Q._ Several neighbours?
_A._ Yes, they were members.
_Q._ Was a person of the name of Man there?
_A._ I do not know him.
_Q._ Or Wood?
_A._ I do not know such a person; there were not above a dozen of them there; but I am not there often myself.
_Q._ How many members of the club are there?
_A._ I do not know, indeed; the hat maker pays my money for me; being very much out, I am not there one time in ten.
_Q._ When you are there, you do not know who are present?
_A._ No, I do not exactly.
_Lord Ellenborough._ What is this Hat Club?
_A._ We pay a s.h.i.+lling a week, and have a pint of beer; I have not been there these several weeks.
_Lord Ellenborough._ You get part of your money back in a hat?
_A._ We pay twenty-four s.h.i.+llings, and then have a hat for it.
_Mr. Richardson._ You have described this gentleman's person before to-day?
_A._ Yes, I have.
_Q._ You have been examined upon several occasions before this?
_A._ I have been examined at the Stock Exchange, and before the Grand Jury, no where else.
_Q._ Did not you describe the person as one that had a great red nose, and a blotched face?
_A._ A red nose I said, and his face was very red that morning, for it was very frosty. I said he was pitted with the small-pox.
_Lord Ellenborough._ Red or not sure you are, of the ident.i.ty of the face?
_A._ Yes, I am sure of it.
_Mr. Richardson._ It was you that told him of the stand of coaches in the Lambeth Road?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ That is before you come to the Marsh Gate?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ That is not far from the Asylum, is it?
_A._ No.
_Q._ You went there for the purpose of getting a coach in the first instance?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ And then you told him he might perhaps get one at the Marsh Gate?
_A._ Yes.
_William Bartholemew was called into Court._
_Q._ (_to s.h.i.+lling_) Is that the waterman?
_A._ That is the waterman.
_William Bartholemew sworn._
_Examined by Mr. Adolphus._
