Q. Did you know before last week, that it was at all material that you should recollect the 20th of February?
A. No, I did not know it; but I can tell you one particular thing that makes me recollect it; I let my house, No. 39, Little Queen-street, Holborn, on the 17th of February, to Samuel Nicholson, and went to Mr. Donithorne's to live; and on that very morning, the 20th, the Sunday, Mr. Donithorne (I rather indulge myself with lying in bed on Sunday morning) came to my door and knocked, and told me Mr. De Berenger was come to look over the house, and that if I would get up he should be obliged to me.
Mr. Gurney. I congratulate you on the cure of your deafness[417:A].

A. No, not particularly; only I lay a-bed on the Sunday till about nine o'clock.
Lord Ellenborough. Do you know Smith, De Berenger's servant?
A. I have seen him.
