Mr. Goldberry: Call Constable Fleming. (Constable Fleming stepped into the box.) Before the night of the prisoner’s arrest had you ever seen him?
Witness: I can only speak to the best of my knowledge——
Mr. Goldberry: You are not expected to speak from any other knowledge. You are aware, if that man is put on his trial, that it will be for his life. I insist upon fair play for him. Had you ever seen him before that night?
Witness: Not as far as I can remember.
Mr. Goldberry: You have taken a lesson from Mrs. Preedy. Do you know anything against him now?
Witness: No.
Mr. Goldberry: Call Constable Dick. (Constable Dick stepped into the box). You have heard the questions I put to the last two witnesses. They are what I shall substantially put to you. Before the night of the prisoner’s arrest had you ever seen him?
Witness: No.
Mr. Goldberry: Do you know anything of him at the present moment?
Witness: No.
