By the Common Serjeant.—And told you he was going to Mr. Church’s upon the business of this inquiry?—Yes; indeed it was my request that he should. Mr. Thomas went to speak to his wife; and it was at my wife’s request and Mrs. Patrick’s I believe that he went.
Your wife joined in her request?—Yes.
How long might his interview with Mr. Church last—how long was he in the house?—He seemed to be a long while; not much less than an hour.
As near as you could guess, the time, was it near an hour?—Yes.
