Q. What passed between you?
A. I was informed——
Q. Tell us what you told him?
A. In the first place, I made my obedience to the gentleman in the chaise, hoping that he had brought us some good news.
Q. You said so?
A. Yes.
Q. What did the gentleman say?
A. He said he had, and that it was all over; that the Allies had actually entered Paris; that Bonaparte was dead, destroyed by the Cossacks, and literally torn in pieces, and that we might expect a speedy peace.
Q. Did he tell you any thing more?
A. No; during the conversation I saw him give James Overy two gold pieces, which afterwards proved to be French pieces, I had them in my hand.
