_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.
_Lord Ellenborough._ You have no doubt whatever?

_Q._ Was he in a room, or in the pa.s.sage of the Ship, at the time?
_A._ In a room.
_Q._ At the time you first saw him, how was he occupied, what was he doing?
_A._ He was walking up and down the room.
_Q._ Did you make any observation on his dress?
_A._ He had a grey coat--his great coat.

_Q._ Of what did the cap appear to be made?
_A._ It appeared to be made of a kind of rough beaver; I do not know whether it was black or brown.
_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.
_Q._ I ask you, whether the cap was cut off without any rim to it, or had it a rim like a hat?
_A._ No, it had not a rim like a hat by any means.
_Q._ Had you any conversation with him?
_A._ No.
