Mr. Payne. Do you believe it to be his writing?—Yes.
Mr. Justice Maule. You say the father; is that the prisoner?
Mr. Serjeant Bompas. No, the father of the prisoner.
Mr. Payne. Look at that (handing another paper to the Witness), and tell me if you know the handwriting; that is, the 20th of August?—It looks like the handwriting of Zulueta the son.
Mr. Justice Maule. What is the date?
Mr. Payne. The 20th of August, 1840. Just look at this memorandum on the charter-party; look at the signature to that charter-party: do you know the handwriting of that document?—I suppose that one to be the signature of Mr. Zulueta the son.
Do you believe it to be so?—Yes; the other I do not know.
(The Letters and the Charter-party were handed in.)
Mr. Payne. Do you know the handwriting of the body of that first letter of which I showed you the postscript?—I did not pay sufficient attention to it. With your leave I will look again. (It was again handed to the Witness.) I do not know it.
