The Juror: "Very well, Inspector Robson."
The next witness was Mr. Richard Remington, who gave his answers generally with rapidity; but occasionally there was a slight hesitancy before he replied, as though he were considering the form of words in which he should reply. Asked if Inspector Robson was his uncle, he answered that he was proud to own it. Asked if he followed any occupation, he described himself as a Jack of all trades. "And master of none?" queried a juror jocosely. "I won't say that," replied the witness, quickly. "There are some things I can do thoroughly."
"You accompanied Inspector Robson when he entered the house of the deceased on Saturday?"
"I did."
"You saw the body?"
"Yes. It is the body of Mr. Samuel Boyd."
"You were acquainted with him?"
"Intimately. I was in his service nearly three months, and saw him daily."
"So that you can speak with confidence on the point?"
"With perfect confidence."
