The Attorney-general. "Would you be able to mark the point of stoppage on a map of the road between Finchley and High Barnet?"
Witness. "I will try, sir, but I shouldn't like to be positive."
(A map was here handed to the witness, who, after a careful study of it, made a mark upon it with a pencil.)
The Attorney-general. "You will not swear that this is the exact spot?"
Witness. "No, sir."
The Attorney-general. "But to the best of your knowledge it is?"
Witness. "Yes, sir, to the best of my knowledge."
The Attorney-general. "The prisoner called to you to stop. What then?"
Witness. "I drew up immediately, and he got out."
The Attorney-general. "What were his next instructions?"
