Cowper—Pray, what did I say to Mr. Barefoot?
Joseph Taylor—You asked him if they had received a letter from your brother, and he said, No, not that he knew of, but he would call his wife, and he did call his wife, and asked her if she had received a letter, and she said, No; then said you, I will take up this lodging for mine; and accordingly you went up stairs, and I went with you, and staid there about four times as long as I have been here.
Cowper—Are you very sure that I said, I would take up my lodgings there?
Joseph Taylor—Yes, I am very sure of it.
Hatsell, Baron—What time of the day was it?
Joseph Taylor—It was the fore part of the day; while I was there, my lord, Mrs. Sarah Stout's maid came to invite Mr. Cowper to her house to dinner.
Cowper—Did you know anything of my sending to the coffee-house?
Joseph Taylor—You sent to the coffee-house for your things.
Hatsell, Baron—Did Mr. Cowper use to lie at Mrs. Barefoot's?
Joseph Taylor—His brother did, but I do not know whether this gentleman did, but at that time he took up that place for his lodging; and said, it was all one, my brother must pay for it, and therefore I will take it up for myself.
