Was it before or after you had taken out the warrant?—Why, long before.
The Stipendiary: Was it a warrant or summons?
Mr. Clegg: Well, both.
Mr. Pollard: The summons was taken first, and then the warrant.
Mr. Clegg (to witness): It was long before that, you say?—Yes.
Then at the time you went to Mansfield with Mrs. Padmore had you had any quarrel with the prisoner?—Yes; I didn’t want him to annoy me.
Had you had any quarrel?—Yes, because he was a nuisance to me.
That was before you had your portrait taken with him when you went to Mansfield?—I don’t remember.
At this point the prisoner groaned loudly several times, and finally caused his head to fall forward on the table, placing his hands underneath. In this position he remained.
Examination continued: Do you say it was two or three months before?—I didn’t say two or three months. I said a while before.
