The Attorney-general. "Did the prisoner make any remark as to the amount of the bill?"
Witness. "Oh no; he gave me a sovereign and a half-sovereign, and said, 'That will do.'"
The Attorney-general. "Meaning that you could keep the change?"
Witness. "I took it so, and he said nothing."
The Attorney-general. "A good customer?"
Witness. "A very good customer. Not many such."
The Attorney-general. "Without a murmur or a remark, the prisoner paid you thirty shillings for half a glass of champagne?"
Witness. "That is so. It was, as I say, surprising. I did not forget it."
