Mr. H. Can you remember the exact words he used?
Pot. I can. He said, “Those of this capital should have no bowels. You workers must see to having this done.”
J. N. Stop a little; it is important that I should get an accurate note of this ( writing ). Those who live in this metropolis must have their bowels drawn out—is that right?
Pot. This capital, he said, my lord.
J. N. ( writing ). This capital. Well, well, well! I cannot guess why the prisoner should be so infuriated against this metropolis. Go on, Mr. Hungary.
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.
