Smith. "Yes; and he had a house furnished for him."
Attorney-General. "Don't you know that he got a bill for £200?"
Smith. "Yes."
Attorney-General. "And don't you know that that bill was never paid?"
Smith. "No, I do not."
Attorney-General. "Now, I'll refresh your memory a little with regard to those proposals [handing witness a document]. Look at that, and tell me whether it is in your handwriting."
Smith. "It is."
Attorney-General. "Refreshing your memory with that, I ask you were you not applied to by William Palmer in December, 1854, to attest a proposal on the life of his brother, Walter, for £13,000 in the Solicitors and General Insurance Office?"
Smith. "I might have been."
Attorney-General. "Were you or were you not, sir? Look at that document, and say have you any doubt upon the subject?"
