A. I cannot state indeed.
Q. It was given to you the day before it appeared in the Morning Chronicle?
A. It was the day before, about three o'clock.
Mr. Gurney. Look at that (shewing a pamphlet to the witness) have you received one of those pamphlets either from Mr. Cochrane Johnstone, Lord Cochrane, or Mr. Butt?
A. Lord Cochrane gave me one of those at my own request, hearing it was published.
Q. Look at that which purports to be an affidavit of Lord Cochrane.
Mr. Serjeant Best. Is that the identical book Lord Cochrane gave you?
A. No.
Mr. Gurney. Read the affidavit and tell me whether you know that to be verbally and precisely the same?
Mr. Serjeant Best. I submit to your Lordship that will not do.
