Q. Have you one of the slips?

A. No, I have not.

Q. Did you receive any other copies of affidavits purporting to be affidavits of persons of the name of Smith?

A. No, I had no concern whatever with Smith.

Q. Smith and his wife?

A. Certainly not, I know nothing of the printing of them.

Q. Was the Morning Chronicle one of the papers in which you put Lord Cochrane's affidavit?

A. Yes, it was.

Mr. Park. It must not be said to be Lord Cochrane's affidavit, till that is proved.

Lord Ellenborough. He printed something purporting to be Lord Cochrane's affidavit. I have taken it that Lord Cochrane delivered several papers, one purporting to be an affidavit which this witness inserted in the newspapers.
