Witness: What is the name of it.
Mr. Lockwood: The “Star.”
Witness: Is it a picture-gallery?
Mr. Lockwood: I don’t know.
A man named Goodlad was called into court, and Mr. Lockwood asked the witness: Have you ever been to the “Star” music-hall with Peace?—I don’t know it by that name.
Have you been to any music-hall with Peace?—I have been to a place where there is a picture-gallery, and where it looked as if singing went on. There was a small stage and tables and chairs.
Do you remember being introduced to that man by Peace at a music-hall?—I never remember seeing his face before, except at the Town Hall.
Have you not been three or four times to the music-hall in Spring-street?—No; I have only been once. I know a public-house at Darnall, called the “Halfway House.” To my knowledge, I have never had drink there which was put down to Peace.
That won’t do. Are you prepared to swear that you have not had drink there on Peace’s credit?—Never to my knowledge.
Though the witness was pressed severely on the point, this was the only answer that could be obtained.
