Now, for what purpose did you search in all the rooms of the house?—To see if there was any other person in the place.
Did you find any window or door open, at which any body could have got into the house?—No; I saw them all close and fastened.
Cross-examined by the Common Serjeant.
When he came to you, he told you that Mr. Church had been there; but did not explain what he had done?—No.
That you are quite sure of?—Yes.
Lord Ellenborough.—What words did he use?—He only told me that Church had behaved in a very indecent manner to him.
Common Serjeant.—You had never any intimation that there were thieves in the house? You did not go to search for thieves in the house?—When he told me that Church behaved in a very indecent manner to him, I went to see if there was any other person in the place.
Did he not tell you he believed there were thieves in the house?—No.
Lord Ellenborough.—I think you are misled by what the witness, Foreman, said. It is a mere form of expression. You are going upon a wrong scent. The witness did not say, in terms, that he believed there were thieves in the house.
Common Serjeant.—That was particularly mentioned by Foreman in his examination.
