Dixon, John Robert | Day 21
Seemed to relish being questioned judging from his theatrical manner of speaking! Claimed to have received nothing although he was canvassed by William Burvill Mackie and Mr Haines. No Haines called to testify but could possibly have been George Coombs Haines of 95 High street, Deal listed in the poll books.
