    (Mr. Turner.) You say you did not receive this 4L. ? — No ; I had no connection with Mr. Millen whatever.

  • 8397.

    Have you received anything ? — Yes, that is in my evidence of yesterday.

  • 8398.

    Did you receive anything at all from John Bullock Millen ? — No, I never spoke to him upon any such subject.

  • 8399.

    If he says that any Myhill received 4L., it is not Valentine Myhill or George Myhill ? — No ; and in the “Chronicle” there is no Christian name to it whatever.

  • 8400.

    The “Chronicle” will take care, no doubt, that what you have now stated shall be put in. (Mr. George Myhill.) I do not know why Mr. Millen should make use of my name in the affair, because I had nothing to do with it . (Mr. Valentine Myhill.) Mr. George Myhill called at my house and asked if I had received the 4L., and I said, No, I knew nothing about it .
