The yirtuous servant, Roger ely, swore his
way through the case at great rate. He had
taken service with the prisoner, in good faith
and simplicity, four years ago. He had asked
the prisoner, aboard the Calais packet, if he
wanted handy fellow, and the prisoner had
engaged him. He had not asked the prisoner
to take the handy fellow as an act of charity
never thought of such thing. He began to
have suspicious of the prisoner, and to keep an
eye upon him !, soon afterward. In arranging
his clothes, while travelling, he had seen similar
lists to these in the prisoners pockets. over and
over again. He had taken these lists from the
drawer oil the prisoners desk. He had not put
them there first. He had seen the prisoner show
these Identical lists to French gentlemen at
Calais, and similar lists to French gentlemen,
both at Calais and Boulogne. He loved his
country, and couldn't bear it, and had given
information. He had never been suspected o.
stealing silver teapot; he had been maligned
respecting mustard-pot, but it turned out tc
be only plated one. He had known the last

dence that true patriotism was his only motive

were many like him.

"No."
You will not swear, Mr.. Lorry. that he was

No.
" So at least you say he may have been one

To be confronted with such pity, and sucf

to the accused than to be confronted with all
the crowd. Standing as it were, apart with
