Q. You had seen Mr. Cochrane Johnstone?

A. Yes; I had seen him but once.

Q. This was on Saturday the 26th?

A. Yes.

Q. Why did you say it was most likely Mr. Cochrane Johnstone?

A. Because she told me it was a tall gentleman, and his long hair very much powdered.

Q. Having seen him but once, and not being much acquainted with him, what led you to say most likely it was Mr. Cochrane Johnstone; had you any expectation that he would come that day?

A. No, not the least.

Q. But having seen him once, you thought it must be that tall man and powdered, whom you had seen but once in your life?

Q. I might have seen him oftener than that, but not to my recollection.
