_Q._ You have been out of business since that time?

_Q._ He was talking with Mr. Donithorne?
_A._ Yes, he was.
_Mr. Richardson._ Was any body else present?

_Q._ Did he come into the parlour?
_A._ Yes, he did just come into the parlour; but he said he would not disturb the company.

_A._ I do not know whether he came in afterwards or not.
_Q._ But you saw him there?
_A._ I saw him in the house.
_Q._ You are well acquainted with his person?
_A._ Yes; I had seen him repeatedly before that.
_Q._ You did not see him after that?
_A._ No, I did not.
_Cross-examined by Mr. Gurney._
_Q._ Do you remember being struck with any alteration in his appearance that night?
_A._ No.
_Q._ How long before that time had he left off wearing the large whiskers he used to have?
_A._ I cannot say.
_Q._ He had not them on that night?
_A._ I cannot say that I saw any alteration.
_Q._ He had no whiskers on that night?
_A._ No.
_Q._ He had never been used to wear whiskers?
_A._ That I cannot say.
_Q._ You knew him well, and had seen him often?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ And you mean to say, you do not remember whether he wore whiskers on not?
_A._ He might or might not, I do not look so particularly into a gentleman's face, as to see whether he has whiskers or not.
