Are you the son of the last witness?—Yes.

Did you assist your father at Portsmouth on board the Augusta?—Yes.

Mr. Kelly. Is it only to confirm the other witness? I do not dispute that.

Mr. Serjeant Bompas. I thought the intention of the cross-examination was to break in upon that witness.

Mr. Kelly. Certainly not; you misunderstood it, then.

Mr. Clarkson. You may stand down, Sir.

Henry George Moon sworn. Examined by Mr. Payne.

Are you clerk to Mr. Vandenburg, the Russian consul at Portsmouth?—I am clerk to him, but he is not the Russian consul.
