A. Put it at four o’clock.
Q. And you thought he looked unwell?
A. He said himself he was feeling out of sorts. The liquor seemed to pull him round a bit.
Q. Did he say anything else?
A. Not much. He went as soon a’most as he’d drunk it down. I thought he’d tired himself walking up the hill.
Q. What made you think that?
A. I see’d him a’coming when he was far off. I was crossing the yard to the pump at the time. That might have been at a quarter before four. He looked as if he’d pulled his cap over his eyes and turned his coat collar up; but I couldn’t make him out distinct.
Q. How did you know, then, that it was Mr. Cleghorn?
A. Because he come in himself a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes later. Who else could it be?
Q. What sort of coat and hat or cap was this figure wearing?
