A. Yes.
Q. Did he say any thing in your presence?
A. I asked him what the news was.
Lord Ellenborough. How came you to ask that?
A. Because I had heard Mr. Marsh say he was a Messenger come over.
Mr. Bolland. Did he reply to that?
A. He told me that Messengers were sworn to secrecy, but that he had got glorious news he had brought over to England, the best that ever was known for this country.
Q. Had you any further conversation with him?
A. He rung the bell and called for a pen, ink and paper, to write a letter to send off to the Admiral at Deal.
Q. Was that brought to him?
