Q. What time of day was it when you saw the prisoner come from the wood?
A. Ten after two, it might be.
Q. And he went down towards the road?
A. Aye.
Q. Did you notice what became of him?
A. No, I didn’t. I had my own concerns to look after.
Q. Taking the air, eh?
A. That’s it.
Q. You weren’t taking it with a wire, I suppose? (Laughter.)
A. No, I weren’t. You keep a civil tongue in your head.
