Prisoner: Let that person come up here, will you? I don’t know him.

Mr. Pollard (to witness): Three or four years from now?—​Yes, I knew him about two years before the murder.

You remember the date of the murder of Mr. Dyson in November, 1876?—​Yes.

Did you receive some instructions from your superior officer to go in search of the prisoner?—​I did. I received instructions the same morning at half past two o’clock.

That was Nov. 30?—​Yes.

Did you go to any place in Hull which you had any reason to know?—​Yes, I went to 37, Collier-street.

Who was living there?—​Peace’s wife, I believe. The same person who had been locked up here in the name of Hannah Peace. She was keeping a shop.

You failed to find him there?—​Yes.

Mr. Pollard: I propose now to take the escape and recapture of the prisoner on the last occasion.

Stipendiary: You have gone after the time.
