A. Yes, I was some little time before I could wake the ostler.

Q. You left the candles in the passage with Mr. Marsh?

A. Yes.

Q. You handed the candles to him, and went immediately to call the ostler?

A. Yes.

Q. It was not till after you returned, having been absent some little time that he rung the bell and ordered pen, ink, and paper.

A. Yes.

Q. That order was given in the parlour, not in the passage?

A. Yes.

Q. Did you see him write upon the paper?
