A. Never before that, but at that house we kept but one fire; coals were very dear, and we lived a good deal together there.
Q. Had you any means of judging Mr. M'Rae's circumstances as to poverty or wealth?
Q. He was poor, he never had any money except it was a shilling or an eighteen penny piece.
Q. After this expedition to Northfleet, how did he appear in circumstances?
A. Oh, better; he had a £10. note and a £1. note, and the day before he left his lodgings he had three £2. notes.
Q. Do you mean before he finally left his lodgings?
A. Yes.
Q. When was that?
A. The second of March I think it was, the second or third to the best of my knowledge.
Q. Do you know of his purchasing any new cloaths for himself?
