Q. Did the person stay any time at your house?

A. I should suppose I was in conversation with him about ten minutes in the parlour.

Lord Ellenborough. At what time in the morning was this?

A. The time the chaise drove into the yard I suppose was about half-past 5 o'clock; it was not earlier than that, and I suppose very little later.

Mr. Adolphus. What were you and he doing during these ten minutes?

A. I was getting some chicken for him, and cutting that chicken up and some round of beef.

Q. In what room were you?

A. In our bar parlour; I took him there, the house not being open, that being warmer than the rest of the rooms.

Q. What passed in that conversation you had with him?
