Witness Testimony:
- 13154.
Did you make no inquiry as to what he was going to do with this 25L ? — No ; in fact, I did not consider it any business of mine. I was simply, I may say, an agent to hand the money over.
- 13155.
Did you know what he did with it ? — I have heard since, in the hall here, what he has done with it ; he seems to have got some in hand now.
- 13156.
Had you never heard before what he had done with it ? — No.
- 13157.
Not till after he gave his evidence here ? — No.
- 13158.
(Mr. Jeune.) You gave an account of this 14L to Mr. Edwards ? — Yes.
- 13159.
Did you tell Mr. Edwards how he had applied it ? — Mr. Edwards told me to give 14L. to Lowndes.
- 13160.
Did he tell you to give it to him to pay board boys ? — No, he did not tell me what it was for, because Mr. Edwards knew himself that I paid the messengers and board boys.
- 13161.
Therefore, as far as you know, Mr. Edwards did not mean this 14L. to go to board boys ? — No, certainly not.
- 13162.
(Mr. Holl.) You handed in an account ? — Yes.
- 13163.
Did you get your money from Mr. Edwards or Rose ? — Mr. Edwards.
- 13164.
(Mr. Jeune.) Did you give Mr. Edwards an account of how this 185L. was made up ? — Yes.
- 13165.
Was that the account that you gave to Mr. Edwards (handing a paper) ? — Yes, and those pencil marks were put down at the time by Mr. Turner.
- 13166.
Is the 14L. included in the 124L. 2s. ? — No.
- 13167.
What is it included in ? — It is not included at all ; the 14L. is a separate item.
- 13168.
You did not put down the 14L. in the account you gave to Mr. Edwards at all ? — Yes, I did ; there was another account afterwards. I considered that was my account simply, and Mr. Edwards said “You must put the other account in,” and this is it (handing same). You will find it is all included there.
