Witness. "They were all of his set."
The Attorney-general. "But some of the prisoner's friends were there as well?"
Witness. "Not one. There were words about it."
The Attorney-general. "On the wedding-day?"
Witness. "Yes."
The Attorney-general. "Words between whom?"
Witness. "Between Mr. Beach and Mr. Layton. I heard Mr. Beach say, I gave you thirty invitations to fill up and Mr. Layton answered, didn't fill up one of them. I didn't intend that a friend of mine should meet such a crew as I knew you would get together.' 'Not good enough for you, I suppose?' said Mr. Beach. 'No,' said Mr. Layton, 'decidedly not good enough,' and then he walked away."
The Attorney-general. "Did your mistress make any remark on the subject?"
Witness. "No she was too happy to find fault with anything. She was delighted, too, with the wedding presents. There was nearly a room full of them."
The Attorney-general. "Many of them from the prisoner's friends?"
