“You saw Sir John Percy sign this deed—you are sure of that?”
“I am sure of that.”
“Is this Sir John Percy’s signature?”
“It is—the very same I saw him write; and here is my own name, that he bid me put just there.”
“You can swear that this is your handwriting?”
“I can—I do.”
“Do you recollect what time Sir John Percy signed this deed?”
“Yes; about three or four days before his death.”
“Very well, that is all we want of you, Mr. Clerke.”
