"All this must have taken some time?" "Yes, and was done at night when there were few people about. The street on which the dead wall abuts is but little frequented. The movements of the policeman on the beat were doubtless carefully noted." "Should you say that robbery was the object of this burglarious entrance?" "It is a fair presumption." "Did you search the clothes of the deceased?" "Yes. Mr. Remington had gone through the pockets before I came, and had replaced what he found in them." The Juror who had asked previous questions: "How do you know that?" "He told me so. The watch and chain had not been taken, and there was money in his purse, a £5 note and some gold and silver, £9 18s. in all. I opened the safe; there were no articles of value in it. If there had been any before the death of the deceased they had been removed, and the key put back in its original place." "You found no burglars' tools about?" "None." "Nor tools of any kind?" "No." "There were desks and drawers in the room adjoining the bedroom. Did any of the locks appear to have been forced?" "No." "I have no further questions to ask you, Mr. Lambert. Call Lady Wharton." Expectation ran high at this summons. The scenes in Court in which her ladyship had played a principal part, and her excited comments upon a vital point in the inquiry, had caused her evidence to be looked forward to with intense interest. The Coroner: "We understand that you have a communication of importance to make to the jury, and we are now prepared to hear what you have to say. You were acquainted with the deceased?" Lady Wharton: "Whom do you mean by the deceased?" The Coroner: "You are here to answer questions, Lady Wharton, not to ask them." Lady Wharton: "But I do ask them. I want to know whom you mean by the deceased." The Coroner: "Mr. Samuel Boyd, of course. You were acquainted with him?" "I was very slightly acquainted with him. As a matter of fact I saw him only twice in my life. The first time was on the evening of Friday, the 1st of March. Lord Wharton had entered into certain financial transactions with Mr. Boyd, which did not come to my knowledge till a week or two before that date. Some settlement had to be made respecting these transactions, and Lord Wharton being ill, I undertook the business, having also a little business of my own to do with him. So far as I am aware there was no person in the house except Mr. Boyd when I called upon him in Catchpole Square. The business being of a private nature I entered alone, and ordered my servant to wait outside for me in the Square." "At what hour was this visit paid?"
