ad he lived there? _A._ That I really cannot say; I think he had been in the habits of occasionally having horses from me for nine months before that time. _Foxall Baldry sworn._ _Examined by Mr. Bolland._ _Q._ You are a post-boy at the Rose at Dartford? _A._ I ride occasionally. _Q._ Did you ride on the morning of the 21st? _A._ I did. _Q._ Do you recollect a chaise coming from Northfleet to your house? _A._ Yes I do. _Q._ Who was in that chaise do you recollect? _A._ I have seen one of the gentlemen since; I did not know Mr. Sandom at the time personally. _Q._ Was Mr. Sandom one of those persons? _A._ Yes he was. _Q._ Do you know the other two of those persons? _A._ I do not. _Q._ Did you drive either of the pair of horses that took those gentlemen to town? _A._ I drove the leaders. _Q._ Did they give you any orders as to which way they were to go? _A._ Just as we were coming to Shooter's Hill, Mr. Sandom got out of the chaise with one of those other gentlemen, walked some little distance, and when he came back I was altering my harness; and he beckoned me, and said, My lads we do not want you to distress your horses up this hill, but when you get up you may get on a little: He asked what the gates were, and said, I shall give you twelve shillings a-piece for driving; but as to saying to what part I did not know at the time; my fellow-servant at the wheel ordered me to go over London Bridge, down Lombard Street, along Cheapside, over Blackfriar's Bridge, down the New Cut, and when I was in sight of the Marsh gate I was ordered to stop. _Q._ Did you take that course? _A._ I did. _Q._ How was Mr. Sandom drest? _A._ Why I really cannot say, but I think he had a brown great coat on. _Q._ How were the other two persons dressed? _A._ They were in blue great coats I think. _Q._ Do you recollect what sort of hats they had? _A._ They had round hats when they left me. _Q._ What sort of hats had they when they got into the chaise? _A._ They had military hats on. _Q._ Was there any ornament in the hats? _A._ A paper or ribband, I cannot tell which. _Q._ Had the horses any ornaments upon them? _A._ Yes, laurels. _Q._ Do you know by whose orders they were put on? _A._ No, I do not. _Q._ You were near the Marsh gate you say? _A._ Yes, I could see the Marsh-gate when I pulled up. _Q._ Did the parties get out there? _A._ Yes. _Q.
