"I don't know."
"Who did you give it to?"
"Miss Woodburn."
The girl was called. Her evidence was very brief. Mr. Silver had given her the knife. She had taken it to the cottage where the prisoner lodged and handed it back to the woman there.
To substantiate the charge that Mr. Silver was actuated by malice, the counsel for the defence called evidence to prove the scene that had taken place between the witness and the accused on the way to the meet.
On this point the prisoner gave further evidence himself.
"You met Mr. Silver later in the day?"
"I did."
"What happened?"
"He rode at me and struck me."
