and the deceased walk down the hill, I looked after them, and so did Mahony; and then all those men rushed out, and followed them. Mahony paid the reckoning, and went away: I ran in to see after my tankard for I was more afraid of losing that than the reckoning. And that is all I do know from the beginning to the end. VERNON--How long did he continue at your house on the Sunday? HOBBS--I believe, Sir, an hour and a half; and there was some or other of them still looking out and waiting at the door. THE RECORDER--You say that Mahony desired you that if you saw the gentleman in the black cap go by, to send a porter; who did you apprehend that gentleman to be? HOBBS--The gentleman that rode down the Tuesday. ONE OF THE JURY--To what place were you to send the porter? HOBBS--To the Scotch arms in Marsh-street, where Mahony lodged, if the gentleman in the black cap did go up to Mr. Smith's. VERNON--I think, you say, you saw Mr. Goodere on the Sunday go down the hill, after the gentleman in the black cap? HOBBS--I did, Sir; but nobody at all was with him. GOODERE--Did you see me at all that day? HOBBS--Yes, Sir, I saw you go into Mr. Jarrit Smith's; and when you came down the hill, after the gentleman in the black cap, you called out to Mahony and his company, and bid them to look sharp. GOODERE--Did you see anybody with me that day? I was not at your house that day. HOBBS--I did not say you were; but as you was going to Mr. Jarrit Smith's, I heard one of your men say, There goes our captain, or else I had not looked out. MAHONY--I beg leave, my lord, to ask him, who it was that the captain bid Mahony to look sharp to? HOBBS--The gentleman with the black cap. THE RECORDER--Was the gentleman in the black cap, at whose going by they all rushed out, the same gentleman whom you had seen before go to Mr. Jarrit Smith's? HOBBS--Yes, Sir, but Mahony gave half-a-crown for my reckoning, and as they rushed out so hastily, I was afraid they had taken away my tankard; for which reason I went to look after it, and saw no more. _Thomas Williams, sworn._ VERNON--Mr. Williams, I think you belonged to the _Ruby_ at the time when this melancholy affair happened? WILLIAMS--Yes, Sir. VERNON--What station were you in? WILLIAMS--I was ordered to walk the quarter-deck. VERNON--Will you give an account of what you know in relation to the ill-treatment of sir John Dineley Goodere? Tell all you know about it.
