The other witnesses had done, when some one called out, 'Herbert Falkland,' and Mr. Falkland steps into the court. He walks in quiet and a little proud; he couldn't help feeling it, but he didn't show it in his ways and talk, as little as any man I ever saw.
He's asked by the Crown Prosecutor if he's seen the bull outside of the court this day.
'Yes; he has seen him.'
'Has he ever seen him before?'
'Never, to his knowledge.'
'He doesn't, then, know the name of his former owner?'
'Has heard generally that he belonged to Mr. Hood, of Momberah; but does not know it of his own knowledge.'
'Has he ever seen, or does he know either of the prisoners?'
'Knows the younger prisoner, who has been in the habit of working for him in various ways.'
'When was prisoner Marston working for him last?'
