•" 'the blood on my trowsers was done by William Hazleton,
a little before Christmas—we had been to the play together,and.
aft*. swards went to the Tiger's Head, and had a few glasses of
Hazleton got locked out, hut he said that if the maid was
not gone up stilts. he could get in the back way. In getting over
a wall being C.lll on some glass panes, and I got
over and held him up. He had cut himself very much, and
b 'Lag quite stupid and weak, I took him up on my back, and
cashed him for a considerable distance, his hand hied pro-
lately, and the blood ran down my black coat, waistcoat, and
tvesers. We went back to the Tiger's Head, but they were
shut; we then went to the watch-house, and to Mr. Finch's,
the doctor, who decried Hanson ; likewise we went to
Lotion's, and »Ir. and Mrs. Lytton saw the condition II
was in. Mr. Lytton helped to sponge me, and I rutbed my
truwsers with pipeclay, but they have never since been washed,
therefore mine stains of blood may remain. My gaiters get
spotted with blood on the Friday previous to the murder.—
ge and Ilazkton had a sheep's heart and a melt fur dinner, and
while I was (loaning the heart I sprinkled a spot or two over
any gaiters. This I lazleton knbws to be true, and Mn. Wama-
ky and the people at the Tiger's Head know how my cap got
stained. They say likewise my jacket is stained with blood, but
if I was to lie put to the greatest tort:ire, I don't know how
that happened, unless it was done by Al:talcums when going for
..I.andierchiti ton3lamt; or It May lie a stain of *tut or wet
