Prisoner: I cannot have those witnesses without I pay for them.
Mr. Clegg: I say I don’t intend calling any witnesses to-day.
The Stipendiary: Do you care to sign your statement? Would you like to put your name to the statement?
Prisoner: I will try.
Prisoner (to his warder, in a very rough tone of voice): Let me be. Then, taking up the pen, he said, I cannot see.
Mr. Clegg: Just sign it there.
Prisoner then rested his head on one arm and signed his name very deliberately, the capital “C” and “P” being particularly well flourished.
The Stipendiary: You are committed to take your trial on this charge at the assizes at Leeds.
The Prisoner (with eagerness): When are they?
The Stipendary: They are next week.
