_A._ To his wife--they were to be made round.
_Q._ Was any thing said to him either by you or his wife as to the purpose, to which they should be applied?
_A._ His wife asked him what they were for, and what he was going to do with them, and he said they were to deceive the flats.
_Q._ Did you see what he did with the c.o.c.kades?
_A._ He put them into his pocket and took the coats in his hand, and went out saying he must be at Billingsgate to go down to Gravesend by a quarter before two.
_Q._ What did he do with the hats?
_A._ He put them into the bundle.
_Q._ He then went away, did he?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ When did you see Mr. M'Rae again?
_A._ About the same time the next day, about half-past one, or a quarter before two, I met him in Cursitor-street.
