By Lord Ellenborough.—Then it was the day but one after, namely, the morning of the 27th that the boy made the communication to you?—Yes, my Lord.
By Mr. Bolland.—Did you see Foreman on the night of your return?—Not to speak with him.
But on the morning of the 27th he made the communication to you?—Yes.
Respecting this transaction?—Yes, respecting this transaction.
What did you do upon the boy’s making that communication?—I told him I was extremely sorry for what had happened.
You need not tell us what you told him. Did you make it known?—I had many applications from the Congregation, to whom I made it known.
Did the communication come first from you, or did they apply to you for information?—In consequence of the information they had received from general report, they applied to me for authentic information.
Several of the Congregation made those applications?—Yes.
What request was made to you, and in consequence of that request was there any meeting upon the subject?—Yes.
Mr. Gurney.—Unless Church was present, this cannot be received as evidence.
