THE TICHBORNE TRIAL

Amd

On Monday morning the crowd at the entrance of
Westminster Hall was unusually great. The interior
of the court wore also an unusual air of interest, and
there was a large muster of gentlemen of the long robe,
In the anticipation of the eeveral charges of contempt
of court, of which notice had been given against the
Cheltenham Chronicle and the London TOMS and Daily

News.
Mr ferry James Cochrane, of Cheltenham, who was so.
compacted by Ma attorney, was leafed by the olds ef " the
Cistment," end Ma counsel were Mr. Coryton and Mr.

eninTr7-.
On the Judges taking their seats,
Mr. Hawkins said: My lords, I believe Mr. Cochrane, pub-
lisher ot the Cheltenham Chronicle, Is in attendance.
Mr. Coryton I appear for Mr. Cochrane, and my In
'tractions are to admit the publication of the article com-
plained of, and to submit to the merciful oonsideration of
the court. I have a memorial, signed on arturday in sin
hours to Cheltenham by Ti of the leading Inhabitant% in-
cluding eve Indices of the peace, the chairman of quarter
amebae and dye clergy.
The Lord Chief Justice: What does he say himself 1
Mr. Coryton The affidavit stales that he wrote the article
himself and sent it to press on the 16th day of September
that he Intended it merely as • summary of the osse ;
that he had no Interest or bias in the matter, or say in-
tention to influence the jury or 'opposition that by an
doing he should be guilty of any contempt of this honour-
able ciAtrt. He is now aware that the article goes be-
yond allowable comment, and he thpreelos great regret
for baying written and pnblbhed that he haa edited
and published the Cheltenham Chronicle for 13 years, and In
the whole of that time there has
of the way in which the paper has been conducted, or any
proceedings against him for libel; that he has been
unwittingly betrayed Into this grave error by the fact
that the proceedings of the trW are the subject of com-
ment and general topic of cionversrtion ; WAS he had
not seen the comments of the Court upon the ow of the
Western Daily Mercury; that Immediately he became
aware if the complaint molest him hastopped the publica-
tion of that paper, and recalled all the copies be oortd. That
he has • large family dependent upon him, and has long
been in a delicate state of heath. If. submits these facie
to the merciful consideration of the Court, and again ex-
brasses Ms deep regret that he should have fallen Into this
transgreerton.
Mr. Corytonthth read an affidavit from Dr. Cottle of Chel-
tenham, the medical attendant of the defendant, to 'ln:meths
delicate state of his health ; and the memorial already men-
tioned, which spoke in the highest farms of the sharfurter
of Mr. Coohrana

The Lord Chief Justice : Ws audit...end that he wrote the
artiolo
Mr Coryton :He did, my toed. But we with to plum be-
fore your Modalities MI that we can In mitigation. The
memorial la Maned by nine persons, including several
clergy men sod persons of high social position.
Mr. Hawkins Having brought the article before your
lordships' attention, It is not for me to say one word further

The Lord Chief Jostles (atter consniting with his learned
brothers), said Henry James Cochrane, there can be no
doubt that you have been guilty of a very grou contempt
of court, because is has agate and again forbidden such dis-
cusdons on the merits of the case while the trial Is pend-
ing, and which ought not, during that time to be discussed
in public meeting or in the public prude. That r evyr
has been allowed, and we cannot allow it This has
been announced so often that it Is impossible to suppose
it at any one acquainted with public affairs we. not aware
of It. Your article le not a summa,y, as you represent, of
the proceedince of the trial, or a comment noon that evi-
dence, Inasmuch as It contains a gross mi.-statement as to
the evidence. It is utterly untrue, and calculated to mi.
lead, to asset that it Is admitted on all bands that the
D. fendaut is net Arthur orton—and that Is the statement
in your article. Whether the Defendant be Arthur
Orton or not Is a question which roust engage the
most oerlous and considerate attention of the Jury; and
to tell the public that that question is decide I. Is calcu-
lated to mislead the public mind,—and this comes from •
writer, who, in all probability, has not become possessed of
hail the evidence given before the court. The article, there-
fore is In every respect a very gross contempt of this court;
and, certainly, but for the affidavit you have put in,
and the memorial al.tressed to the beach, we should
have visited you with imprisonment as well as with pee-
cuniary ; but inasmuch as Pr u have euffered In point
of health, and have been 20 years' an Inhabitant of Chelten-
ham, where you have maintained a high character—and in-
asmuch as the newspaper Itself has also borne a high charao-
ter—we take MI these things int., dunideration. We will
once more show what is perhaps an undue degree of leniency,
but we must visit you with punishment, and the sentence of
the Court is that you pay a flue of £l5O, and that you be
imprisoned until the flue be paid.
• Mr. Cochrane was then taken from the court Was custody
d of the node.

Ike flee was paid Immediately.
Mr. Kenealy said be had to bring under the notice of the
court • series of articles recently published in The Times
newspaper, which were of the mug Managing e erecter to the
defendant. The Time, reporter (Mr. Kenealy seta had gone
out of his way to contrast the evidence given by the witnesses
for the defence with their testmony at the former trial,
end by a dexterous use of language had endeavoured
to persuade the public that each of the defend-
ant's cranium had in %Ant been broken down as the
trial went on. In patification of this charge, the learned
unmet proceeded to read extracts from the Timm reports,
but he was interrupted by the Lord Chief Jostler, who re
marked that the Bench was unanimous in thinking thatit was
much to be regretted that, In reporting what toolKplace in the
court, the press should depart from its province and seams
the function, of counsel and of judge. But inasmuch
as the extracts read by Mr. Kugel, were all of a date
anterior to the occasion on which he (the Lord Chief
Justice) and his learned brother bad, spontaneously and
without any application by counsel, given expterion I.
their opinion nun the subject, they could not now be salted
to visit with punishment, or even with censure, that which,
there wee fillIWO to believe, had been corrected slue
the intimation was given. Unless Mr. Kenealy could
show that The Times reporter had offended in the same
way since the date of that Intimation, there wag no
ground for the application. Mr. Kenealy said he was notpre
pared with any repoet of • later date than September!, and he
should be content with what tad fallen from the bench, and
hoped Ihe Times would take warning by it Mr. Justice Mellor
having expressed • hope that the press would refrain from
Interferleg with the constitutional function of the jcu7 to
give theft verdict upon the evidence of witnesees given in
open court, and upon test alone, Mr. Jostles Lush was about
to speak when Mr. itinlalsen, a member of the bar and re.
goiter for The Times, complained that Mr. Keauly had
brought his comclaint without giving him notice. He said
that on the only occasion on which Dr. Hurray had asked
him to correct his report he had cheerfully done so the next
day.
The Lord Chief Justice regretted the tone of the observa-
tions which had been made, but doubted whether Mi.
Thilalson amid be heard
The enblece then dropped, and the healing of seldom:ewes
proceeded with.
The fast witness called was Anthony Biddulph, of Burton
Perk, near Petworth, Sussex, who, examined by Mr. Komi)
sold: I am • jostles of the pesos in the county of Sus,ez, I

Mr. Kenealy: Are you • relation of Ms

Who Is he 1--Siz Roger Charles Doughty Tichborne.
When did you fret beams acquainted 1--In the year 1848
or '4. An inthreate acquaintanceship existed between our
familial. My grandmother was a Plowden. I was somewhat
younger than he when I met him at Bath. He was on a
visit to his uncle, Sir Robert Tichborne. I saw him nearly
every day the fortnight he wee at Bath. 1 have smoked
with him. He had two clay death'ehead pipes—I marked
one sad he the other.
The Lord Chief Justice What pipes are those?
Witness They are made of clay, and the bowls are shaped
like • death's head, and when coloured the shades come out
very prominently. That was the only time I was Intimate
With him before be le' t for South America He was living
at an hotel, but he took his meals at his uncle's. I have a
distinct recollection, but, as I stated at the last trial, I weld
not swear to it At that time he was shy and awkward in
his manners. I saw him next after his rearm to England in
May, 1867 or 1868, when he was at Croydon. It was after I
saw him that I made the afildavit in July, 1E167. The
affidavit la dated the 13th of that month. I went to Croydon

with Alfred Tichborne. We were very good friends up
to the time of his death. Before I saw the defendaot

predilections were entirely in favour of Alfred's child. I
thought I recom.hed some of the features of former days,

Tlct.borne family that I bad known. I recognised the
upper port of the face from about half way down the nose—
the setting f the eyes. I saw • certain twitch In the fore-
head and :yea of the defendmt, which I have noticed in
other members of the Tichborne fancily. i saw it in Robert
Tichborne, the uncle, to a very great extent ; in Sir Edward
Doughty partially ;in Sir Alfred partially. I do not re-
member anything peculiar In the walk of Roger. I was
about three hours or three hours and a half in his house at
Croydon. In Ms voice I recognised great similarity to the
voice of Alfred. I could have feuded sometimes at the end
of his sentence that Alfred way speaking. There was a pec-
uliar drawl. When! met him tasked him where I had met
kiln. He said, "There." I said, "You were staying
with your uncle Robert." "I vas staying at an
hotel at the tUe." I said at what hotel were
you stayina at, and he answered. "1 forget, but It
was the White something." I said, "In Both at that time
there ware three White somethings—the "White Lien," the
"White Lamb," and the "White Hart." Can you tell me
Which it was." Ms answer was, "It was the White some-
thing nearest the market place." He stayed at the "White
Lion," which wsa the only one, bearing the name "White,"
near the market place, as I perfectly recollect his being
there. I was staying with my mother and slaters at Bathe.
that year. I called his attention to that fact, and he raid
he recollected my mother and sisters. He said he used to
walk with them and go to the house. That we. true. I
said, "Do you recollect my coming to lunch with you
at your hotel!" Ile said, "No, I don't" I said, "But I
did, and after luncheon, from some cause or other, weemoked
In your bed room, and not in the uenAl smoking-room. We
did not smoke dears we smoked pipe". Had you any
peculiar pipes at that time?' He said, "I had two clay
death's head plea." I sald, 'That Is what I have come to
lure. The death's head pipes made MON Impression on me
than anything else." The death's head pipes made an im-
pression upon me because they ware the first I had seen of the
sort. I continued convening with him on family aftbs, and
I told him before left that! had come believing him to been
impostor, and that I went sear believing him to be my ocean.
I invited him to visit meat Burton Park twice. Be did not
go. He said at um/ other time he would. He was engaged.
He sev, went. I remembered the birth of his boy, in 1968,
I think I was asked by the defendant to be spouse I
attended in per,oa with Mrs. Biddulph at Airesford. The
child was begiised at the chapel at Tbhborne. Afterwards
the defendant embed me if I would Ilk. • drive round the
peek. This was on the 14 ef September. He proposed A
drive round the outside of the park. I drove round with
him. A perish road skirts the park. It goes round two
adssi of the park. When we got into the road I saw Iwo
oorresponding gates—one leading out of the park, the other
aortas a bad towards the downs. I said, "TUC la the reed I

took when riding with Like and Othenwood towards Brook-
wood." No said, "No, tile not I know the w* Grimm
wood always rode In • few hundrod yards you will oom•
to the road you took." We drove further on, and when we
same to the nest two corresponding gates on either side of
the road he sthd, "That In the road you took, and log
punted up there by the Lovers Seat" I roCollloleed the read
thoroughly, and I remembered perfectly well the rheum-
Bianca having been mentioned at the time I took the ride
at dinner afterwards. Lady Doughty bid on that occasion,
You had a very pleasant ride to-day." I said, "How
could it be otherwise, Lady Doughty ? " She laid, "And yon
went past the Lovers' Sent, did you not?' That was all,
and when the Ddendant spoke to me about the Lovers'
Seat that brought back the conversation vividly to my re-
-__

collection.
By the Lord Chief justice: The parish road eldrted the
para. sad that which passed the Lovers Beat wee • bridle

road out of it.
Ite-exandnatton continued: I frequently saw the defendant

tent with your idea of Roger Tichbarnef—Nothing whatever.
The Lord Chief Audio. : I don't understand the question.
Mr. Konealy : It was a question put at the I urmer trial,
my lord.
The Lord Chief Justice: It seems to me an unintelligible
question.

Doughty at one time, but not latterly. i was in the habit

in cross-examination the witness said he had dined with
the defendant since the last trial, and had been on terms of
notably affection with him, though he bad read the pro-
endings at that trial He had dined with him at an hotel
with Mr Guildford Onslow and several others. His mother
and slaters, whom Roger Tidied at Bath, wen still living.
He did not know if they had any of them seen him. His
mother was aged, and would not like to attend as a witness
He had mentioned to her that be had seen the defend-
ant, but he never asked her to see him. Neither dld
he aili either of his abhors to see IthiL He be-
lt was in 1841 when he visited Bath, and one
AMU was hia uncle's butte:. Asked II ha had not been
crow-ermined by Mr. Honig, an attorney who had acted
for the Dowager In the matter, he denied It. Mr. Norris
told him he had been asked by Lady Tichborne to act
for her In the matter, and that he was loath to do so without
being aupported by some one who had known Roger Tich-
borne ; and for that ?onion he bad gone to see the defen-
dant at Croydon. He bad received a letter from Lady
Tachborne, who desired him "to go down and identify her
son." Tie letter was couched in those terms. Before
be went down to see the defendant a photograph of
him was shown to him, and he admitted that be had said
he had seen very little of him, and might have said that be
ahouid not have known hien if he saw him, but he did not
recollect saying so. In fact, he had meson much of him, and
he would not swear positively to any one he had not seen
after 17 years, but be had known persons as much altered as
the defendant. He admitted that when he went down to
Croydon he did not recollect that Bogor had any twitch in
the eye. He could recollect the general unseat of the hoe
the lupin' part of the face he thought he must have recol-
lected, and he believed he saw It. When Mr. Norris urged
him to go and identify the defendant, it did not occur to
him to suggest that some one who knew him better
than he did should be called upon So do so, and be did
not knew that the delendant had 'been more than once
down to Tichborne and had not gone to see Min Green-
wood. Neither did he know that Mr. Henry Seymour had
seen him and declued that he was not Roger Tieleborne He
had first refused I. go and had previonaly stopped a fort-
night with Mr. North, and had there met a Mr. Tooker. In
soave of conversation be mentioned the milt to Bath, and
had been asked aa to where he had sun the defendant. He
might have said he had smelled with him and had smoked a
Particular sort of pipe, but he did not think he had mentioned
the sort of Ow he had need, though he did not positively
swear that he had not. If. might very likely have said I
have something In my mind as to somotheng peculiar In the
paper by which to test him with." lio didn't believe he had
mentioned the death's head. His impression was that he had
not mentioned the absolute shape of the pipe. That was his
promion. He desired to go noiltuilter than the truth he was
positive of. Asked if he had never mentioned the sort of
pipe he had used, he meld he did not recollect having said se,
bat It was a common kind of pipe Ile had known Bogie in
Sir Edward Doughty', time, At last he toads up his mind to
g 0 down to Croydon to sae the defendant, and he thought
the upper part ef the tea* wee like Roger. As to the
twitching, it was constant in Roger. He had gone away with
the impeoulon that it woe Roger-an impression not entirely
derived from the incident of the pipe but from other things
he had appeared to remember.
The Lord Chief Justice asked what these wen. It was
most important that the jury should know In order that they
might judge as to the impression they had made upon the
mind of the witness.
The whams said he had asked him varloss questions as to
the Damen and other nasinbers of the hunily, and he seemed
to answer very welL
The Lord Chief Jostle*: Can you recollect whether you
had mentioned before to any one the "White Lion "1
The wither laid he believed that probably he had men-
tioned it In conversation. He went on to say the interview
with the defendant had lasted two hours and afterwarda he
went to Alresford to see the defendant. He made his
afildavit is July, LW, and declared he had not hesitated
about it after making up his mind. He had gone to Croy-
don by appointment to see the defendant, ilia eft limit
being read, "I believe that my visit was unexpected by
him," het sail be believed the precise day was not flied.
The Lord Chief Justice: That would lead any one to sop.
fi,e the deL cutout had had no previous intimation of toe
Witness: Ills wrongly worded; what I taunt was that
he had no intimation of the precise day. Ached whether the
defendant had told him anything about his past adventures
in Australia, the witness said he had, very much as in his
evidence. He admitted that Le did not remember Boger's
violins or his walk.
In re.examination, he said he thought sometimes he
detected the French accent in the defendant's speech,
though not much. He Lad never asked the defendant to
go down to see his mother. ills sisters were married-two
of them to relatives of Sir Joseph Ratcliffe, the other was
In France. He had seen Mr, Tucker In London two months
ago; he had not kept up his acquaintanoe. He had no
epedfic recollection that the "While llou " had been men-
tioned In conversation. Ile was all bedsore that the death's
bead pipes ware not mentioned, but he could not go
further. Ile had said at the time that his impressions bad
been quite changed since the Interview, lie did not recollect
whether be. had had lettere from Boger. the defendant, in
conversation, said he had been picked up in shoat.
Mr. Justice Mellor: Did he say by what ship I
Witness did not resollect. lie said that when he arrived
in Australis, he went up the country with some horse dentin.
The witness said, In oonclualon, that the manners of the dip
fondant were those of a perfect gentleman.
The Lord Chief Judos : Did Roger come back to Bath in
the Spring of 18491-I don't recollect, butt was abaeot from
Bath.

was.
Mr. Jostles Mellor: What colour was his hair 1-Deck

attenuated.
Were his shoulders square or sloping ? -I cannot say.
Wes hU neck long or short 1-I don't remember, only his
general appearance.
James Holmes I was formerly a private in the Cara-
bineeers. I Joined In 1749. I knew Roger Chulae chborne
well. I remember him fishing for French's docks In the
barrack yard out of his bedroom window with Captain Pinck-
ney. They used to put bait on fishhooks. and draw them
up -"quack. quack." (Laughter.) The ducks were kept
for the Aileen' mesa I was drilled with him, and I gave
him many spoilt, kick and crash, and begged his pardon
afterwards for my awkwardness'. I remember him from
1849 to 1861 I au Roger in court. I don't want to
see him twice. The defendant is Roger Charles Tion-
borne. He walked as If his logs did not belong to him.
Ile was thin from the hips downwards, broad chested,
sallow complexion, and dark brown hair. He had a high
forehead, and his feu tapered down almost triangular
(laughter.) He had a alight month/ache. He twitched his
eyebrow.. He had rather a ion voice. In 111 Yr. Hawker
visited me at the camp at the Catfish of Kildare, and showed
me some photographs, and I was subpainaed to give evidence
against the defendant on the former trial I attended
When I saw the defendant come out of his cianiage. I
recognise' him directly as Boger Charles Tichbore. I wee
afterwards sent away. I saw the defendant and spoke Whim,
and recognised biathlon. I was In the 0 troop with him at
Cahlr.
Cross-examined : I can't recognise Roger in the admitted
photograph produCed. There is no likeness in ague, hose or
dross. It might be like him in his school days befors.los

Lawrence Richmond: I reside at Preston. I was formerly
In the Csranineera. I joined Is 18M. I was in Ms game
troop with Roger Tichborne at Portobello for In or six
months. I saw him daily. and I knew him well. The de-
fendant Is Roger Charles Tichborne.
Crow-examined by Mr. Solemn Parry: I have rover
mid that I mold not reoognue the defendant at Premien.
(he witness was unable to recognise the photos of Roger—
'neither the shoulden, body, nor nothing.") (Laughter.)
William Minn : I am clerk to the Royal Mall Company at
Southampton. In 1859 1 resided at Canterbury. I knew
Roger Charles Tichoorna I remember Dr. Moore, of the
Carablneen, and Dr. Andrews. I saw them end Roger at •
place ten miles from Canterbury. They card tote • public
and drank my brandy ono water. I told them they mud re.

the stand to pieces.
Mr. Justice Lush : Is this important

Mr. Hawkins :It is also Important that the defendant

He said he recolleded throwing over • Mall.
The further hearing of he case WA again ad-
journed.

The Court sat at the venal hour on Tuesday, the
hundredth day of the trial.
William Bllby, who maid that in 1861 he saw Roger Mob.
borne two or three tams detain the Roman Catholic soldiers
outside the chapel at Hales Place. Canterbury, alter the see
vice was over, end onoe talk to Miss Hales, was cross-
esomined by ID. Burkina He said Gray, of Southampton,
Ent spoke to him about the trial. Gray, who was superin-
tendent of the labour department In the docks at Southamp-
ton, was rather In favour of the defendant, but witness did
not know whether he had sledded in getting up evidence.
Saw the defendant first last Thursday morning.
Hannah Mary Brains was then examined by Mr. Kenealy.
She said : I live in Bartholomew street, Exeter. I was
originally a Protestant, and became a convert to itoman
Catholicism in IS4O. That very much displeased my Mende,
and in consequence I took the place of a governess. I be.
came acquainted with Lady Doughty In December, 1849. She
wrote to me. Miss Doughty bad seen me before at Wardour
Clotho. I wes there as govern.., for a few months to Lady
Arundell's daughter, now Mrs. Wickham. Lady Doughty
&eked me to All the lame situation at Tichborne. I re-
ruined at Tiohborne 101 nearly a year, leaving in
November, 1860. All the time I was on the beet
terns with Lady Daughty and her daughter. I was
not merely treated as governess. I dined with the family
until I was 111. I was so often unable to come
down to dinner that Lady Doughty proposed I should dine
with Mso Doughty it the luncheon. I Ont saw Roger
Charles Tichborns on the let or 2nd of January, 1860, the
year he became of age. Hie birthday, which was on the sth,
ws cmiebrated with great rep* tag at Tichborns. I remem-
ber blm very well. I con see him now in court. That (the
defendant) jib.. In those days he was slightly built and of
middle height. I mean anything under six feet. (Laughter)
He had • sallow complexicn, with longish straight Sown
hair and pesibr eyes, so peculiar that I felt I should know
them sgatn. I cannot eay what we. the colour Id his eyes, bull
molls* their expression. Ile had thick eyebrows, and I
noticed the raising of them occasionally. I had many con-
veesetions with him on this particular Sett when he re-
method ten days. I never maw him alter, before he left Eng-
land. At luncheon and dinner I saw him every day, and
sometimes at breakfast, and again In the evening in
the drawing-room, when he was there. He was never
absent from She drawinproom for a whole evening. I
do not remember whether I was in his company when he
planted the tree. I remember his voice. He had a sort of
idle way of talking, an if he dropped his words out of his
mouth rather than utter them. It was • lazy way of speak-
ing. I don't think I can describe his voice.
To the Lord Chief Justice : I remember no peculiarity in
the voice.
Examination continued: I heard of the lose of the Baia
Sometime to 1867 I received a letter dined "K. C. Tide
borne," asking If the writer should coma and see me. I said
Shonl.l en to town. In Jannur. BM& I went to Wellealare
villas, Croydon. I had written that I should go and see him,
but! did not nabs the day, and I did ow go fore fortnight
afterwards. My Eng Impression when I saw Wm was one ot
extreme gosprbe at his die. I said to him, "Don't speak;

early, and the old butler. Moore, came to me and said.
" Roger has had quite wine enough 11 you can't Mt him to

Roger as broadnested and dot on the chest, with large

to belong to him. He bad • peculiar habit of twitching the
eyes and the eyebrows when speaking. His voice was soft,

lila feat and bands were small. Witness first saw
the defendant, he said, last Frtday, wearing to hie office at
Poets,eorner. He followed him to his Whce and had • con-
versation with him for about half an hour. " I commenced,"
said witness, "by saying it was no use putting questions te
him alto natters that occurred In the regiment, but I would
ask Wm on question on a matter only known to ourselves:
'Do you recollect promising to give me a sovereign ?' I had
not told him who I was. He said, '1 remember the circum-
stance of promising you a sovereign when I had no change,
butt afterwards gave it to you.' I denied that he had done
so; he maintained that he bad. Previously to that I asked
him If he recollected me. He looked at use two or three
minute* and said, "1 recognise you, but cannot recall your
name; you were Mr. Nothuty's servant.' Then I put the
test question to Wm whether he knew the room his father
stayed in when visiting him at CAW, and he described the
room and Its position—the next house to his own, and the
bottom room, which was correct; but he did not recollect
the name of the otiose whose rooms wets occupied."
The Lord Chief Justice : Not although he recollected that
you were Captain Norbwy's servant I
Witness said,—No, be did not remember the name of the
aka. I asked him (he went on) whether he recollected
drawing his sward at Captain Norbury's, and he said he did,
and that it caught In the door and broke. Ile said the officers
were playing practical jokes upon him, and he drew his
sword. it was • fact; the sword was broken and witness
picked up the past of It. Witness said he had not seen
Carter or !Wenn since 1861, and, in conclusion, he said he
was certain the defendant was Sir Roger Tinhorns.
In crom-examinat,on, witness said he remembered Mr.
Janice TiChbelee *relying at cider in Augur, 1860. It,.

away, and took his tangs, and then went will tin message
to Mr. Unborn,.

The Lord Chief Justice: lie has sworn It already, for he
has sworn that he saw the father go away, and that he then
went to Mr. Tinhorns's room with • message from bins.
(To the witness )—Just consider, are you certain that Mr.
Tichborue did not go away with hi. father?
Witness: Ili swear he did not. I was with him three or
four days after hie father left.

As the "Old Bull" he recognised the dsfendent as soon as
be began to speak. Roger fichborne had a strong French
accent The dabndant's voles was the same, only a little
stronger.
Crom-axamined : The French accent had all gone In the de-
