waited at the door tome if fix went towards home; he
crossed the road to go to Casslotareet...and when i.e
reached the oppsite pivement he slipped against it and
fell, bin not so in the opinion of the witness as to hurt
himself, for he fell upon his.'aide, and his arms saved
him. A soldier at that time was coming -along, who
wore the uniform of a Grenadier Guard. and he lifted
him up. •Mr. Neale entered into conversation with the
