Witness. "No. Mrs. Layton was an invalid, and seldom drove out--not once during the last three or four months at night."
The Attorney-general. "On the day we have gone through--the 25th of March did you see anything of Mrs. Layton?"
Witness. "No, sir, she was seriously ill."
The Attorney-general. "That, however, is not within your personal observation?"
Witness. "No, sir. My duties were outside the house."
The Attorney-general. "The lady whom he brought home on the night of the 25th of March was not his wife?"
Witness. "No, sir. Mrs. Layton had been confined to her room for several weeks."
The Attorney-general. "You are quite positive on this point?"
Witness. "Quite positive, sir."
The Attorney-general. "That will do."
