The Dean of Faculty—Did you not say that when he came to Smith’s before eight o’clock he had his pistol in his hand?
Witness—I did.
The Dean of Faculty—How could he have left them at Smith’s, then, in the afternoon?
Witness—I did not say he left them there; he brought them there, but carried them away with him again. I am certain as to the small pistols that Mr. Brodie carried in his breeches pocket.
The Dean of Faculty—Was Mr. Brodie present when the pistols were loaded?
Witness—He was.
The Dean of Faculty—When did Mr. Brodie first come to Smith’s that day, and how was he dressed?
Witness—He came in coloured clothes, between dinner and tea.
The Dean of Faculty—Might that be four o’clock?
Witness—I could not tell what o’clock it was.
