The Treasury Counsel rose again.
“Very well, Mr. Aylmore,” he said. “I will put certain questions to you. You heard the evidence of David Lyell?”
“I did.”
“Was that quite true as regards yourself?”
“Quite true—absolutely true.”
“And you heard that of the last witness. Was that also true!”
“Equally true.”
“Then you admit that the evidence you gave this morning, before these witnesses came on the scene, was not true?”
“No, I do not! Most emphatically I do not. It was true.”
“True? You told me, on oath, that you parted from John Marbury on Waterloo Bridge!”
