Upon this, according to Mrs. Browne's statement, Hill bade Mountford draw; which the other said he would; but whether he received his wound before or after she could not tell, owing to its being night-time.
Another female witness, who lived next door, gives the dialogue as follows. Lord Mohun begins:—
"Mr. Mountford, your humble servant. I am glad to see you" (embracing him).
"Who is this? my Lord Mohun?"
"Yes, it is."
"What bringeth your lordship here at this time of night?"
"I suppose you were sent for, Mr. Mountford?"
"No, indeed; I came by chance."
"You have heard of the business of Mrs. Bracegirdle?"
Hill (interfering). "Pray, my lord, hold your tongue, This is not a convenient time to discuss this business." (On saying which, the witness adds, that he would have drawn Mohun away.)
