Pot. Yes.
Mr. H. Where?
Pot. At Beadon Road, Hammersmith.
Mr. H. What was he doing there?
Pot. He was standing on a stool surrounded by a dense crowd.
Mr. H. What else?
Pot. He was speaking to them in a loud tone of voice.
Mr. H. You say it was a dense crowd: how dense? Would it have been easy for any one to pass through the crowd?
Pot. It would have been impossible. I could not have got anywhere near him without using my truncheon—which I have a right to do.
Mr. H. Is Beadon Road a frequented thoroughfare?
