_Pot_. I can. He said, "Those of this capital should have no bowels.
You workers must see to having this done."

_J. N_. Stop a little; it is important that I should get an accurate
note of this (_writing_). Those who live in this metropolis must have
their bowels drawn out--is that right?

_Pot_. This capital, he said, my lord.

_J. N_. (_writing_). This capital. Well, well, well! I cannot guess
why the prisoner should be so infuriated against this metropolis. Go on,
Mr. Hungary.

_Mr. H_. (_to witness_). Can you remember any other words he said?

_Pot_. Yes; later on he said, "I hope to see the last Londoner hung in
the guts of the last member of Parliament."

_J. N_. Londoner, eh?

_Pot_. Yes, my lord; that is, he meant Londoner.

_J. N_. You mustn't say what he meant, you must say what you heard him
say.

_Pot_. Capital, my lord.

_J. N_. I see; (_writing_). The last dweller in the metropolis.
