Then you perform this agreeable duty gratuitously?—No, I do not say that.
Then how are you paid?—I made a charge for my time.
Perhaps you belong to the society?—No, indeed I do not (with vehemence).
Well, I do not wonder that you should be anxious to separate yourself from the society (a laugh amongst the auditory).
Mr. Gurney.—I desire that no such remarks may be made.
Mr. Cooper.—What have you had for this particular
job?—I have made a charge for several other little things I did (a laugh).
Mr. Gurney (to the spectators),—I shall certainly move his Lordship to take notice of some particular persons that I see misconducting themselves.
Cross-examination resumed.—What other jobs did you for the association?—I did several jobs; that I will not deny.
How much have you had for these little jobs?—I declare upon my oath, I cannot state particularly how much I had for these little jobs. I made a charge. I don’t recollect exactly what my charge was.
