COWPER--When I sent you to fetch my horse, what directions did I give you? ALDRIDGE--You gave me directions to fetch your horse, because you said you should have occasion to go out next morning betimes with the judge. COWPER--The reason I sent for my horse was this; when I heard she had drowned herself, I think it concerned me in prudence to send a common hostler for him, for fear the lord of the manor should seize all that was there as forfeited.[47] HATSELL, BARON--There was no danger of that, for she was found _Non compos mentis_. COWPER--No, my lord, I sent before the verdict. JONES--It seems you did not think fit to go and take horse there yourself, though you put your horse there. Now, my lord, we will go on, and give the other evidence that we opened concerning these three other gentlemen that came to town; two of them took lodgings at Gurrey's at five in the afternoon, but did not come in till between eleven and twelve, and then they brought another in with them; and though he had been in town five or six hours, his feet were wet in his shoes, and his head was of a reeky sweat; he had been at some hard labour I believe, and not drinking himself into such a sweat. Call _John Gurrey_, _Matthew Gurrey_, and _Elizabeth Gurrey_. _John Gurrey was sworn._ JONES--Do you know any of the gentlemen at the bar? J. GURREY--Yes. JONES--Name who you know. J. GURREY--There is Mr. Stephens, Mr. Rogers, and Mr. Marson. JONES--Pray do you remember when they took lodging at your house? J. GURREY--The last assizes; when they first came, there was only Mr. Stephens and Mr. Rogers. JONES--At what time did they take it? J. GURREY--I was at church, and cannot tell that, they hired the lodgings of my wife. JONES--What can you say more?
