Mr. Chesterton: How much sherry?
Witness: I had a glass.
Judge: It is important to insist whether the glasses were ordinary wine glasses.
A Juryman (Mr. Edwin Pugh): I think it is not a fair question.
Judge: Any question is fair that tends to bring out the truth. We have no reason to suppose that all the people in the Court are not lying—nay, even are not supporting fictitious characters!
The Juryman: But a sherry glass might be a tumbler.
Mr. Chesterton: Miss Landless, I press you. You say you only drank one glass. The remainder of the pint you left in the bottle.
Witness: I did not say that.
Mr. Chesterton: What did you do?
Witness: If I must say, there were receptacles in the room used by smokers. Some went that way, some I left in the bottle, and some I drank.
