_Mr. Park._ It was only three or four minutes altogether?
_A._ I beg your pardon; I did not say it was only three or four minutes, I was asked whether it was three or four minutes, and I said I had no doubt it was.
_A Juryman._ Are you sure that is the man?
_A._ That is the gentleman that I saw there.

_Q._ It had the appearance of rough beaver?
_A._ Yes.
_Mr. Bolland._ Will you now shew him the cap?
_Mr. Park._ I think it should be more described before it is shewn to him; this is a totally different description; this may be very material.
_Mr. Bolland._ Then I will not shew him the cap at all.--Had the cap any flap to it?
_A._ Rather a flap round, as I thought--all round.
