Earl of Peterborough—My lords, I desire to ask this witness one question.
Lord High Steward—I think it is proper, my lords, in point of method, to let both sides have done before any questions be asked by any of my noble lords.
Earl of Peterborough—I did apprehend my lord of Warwick had done.
Lord High Steward—No, my lord, not as yet; pray, my lord of Warwick, what other questions has your lordship to ask of this witness?
Earl of Warwick—My lord, I desire he may be asked particularly this question, whether he perceived any quarrel particularly between me and capt. Coote when we went out of the house?
Lord High Steward—You hear the question, did you perceive any quarrel between my lord Warwick and Mr. Coote before they went out of the house?
Cawthorne—No, I did not; nor ever saw any quarrel between them in my life.
Earl of Warwick—I desire to know who paid the reckoning that night?
Cawthorne—The reckoning was called for before I came in to take it; and though I think my lord of Warwick paid for Mr. Coote, yet I cannot so directly tell, because it was collected before I came into the room to receive it.
Lord High Steward—My lord, have you any thing more to ask this witness?
