by Unknown

A. It is.

Q. Was it written by you at the time you received it?

A. Yes.

Lord Ellenborough. What letter is that?

A. The letter of the Baron to Mr. Johnstone, of the 22d of February.

Lord Ellenborough. You wrote it on the same day?

A. I cannot say on the same day, but within a few days; when I doubled up the papers that lay on the table, with other documents.

Mr. Scarlett. Is it your habit, when you lay letters by, to endorse the date.

A. Yes, uniformly; but not on the day of receiving them; I let them lie till they accumulate unpleasantly.

Lord Ellenborough. If a man sends you letters enclosed from other persons, do you indorse the letters sent to you inclosed; that is no part of the correspondence with you?
