Q. Were those difficulties, without asking what they were, particularly personal to Captain De Berenger?

Lord Ellenborough. No; that we cannot ask.

Mr. Park. It goes to character?

Lord Ellenborough. Then put the question to character at once; you must not go indirectly into it, if Colonel Torrens knows his character at all.

Mr. Park. You do not know, personally, his character?

A. I do not, personally.

Q. Are you acquainted with the hand-writing of Mr. De Berenger?

A. Not in the least.

Q. You have never seen him write?

A. I never did.
