Q. Who took the handkerchief?
A. Bromley took it out, and Vaux laid hold of the corner, to take it from Bromley.
Q. Which pocket was it in, the right or the left?
A. The right-hand pocket[42].
Q. Now, Sir, you know these poor lads are trying for an offence, for which they are liable to be hanged, if they are convicted: I ask you, upon the oath you have taken, whether you ever heard of two persons putting their hands in a man’s pocket at once?
A. I never did.
Q. Then if your brother has said so, he has told a lie?
A. That he certainly has. (A general laugh in the court.)
[The handkerchief produced and identified by the prosecutor, from its similitude to the one he lost.]
