Mr. H. (to witness). Can you remember any other words he said?
Pot. Yes; later on he said, “I hope to see the last Londoner hung in the guts of the last member of Parliament.”
J. N. Londoner, eh?
Pot. Yes, my lord; that is, he meant Londoner.
J. N. You mustn’t say what he meant, you must say what you heard him say.
Pot. Capital, my lord.
J. N. I see; (writing). The last dweller in the metropolis.
Pot. Capital, my lord.
J. N. Yes, exactly; that’s just what I’ve written—this metropolis.
Pot. He said capital, my lord.
