_St_. Yes.

_Mr. H_. Where?

_St_. At Beadon Road amongst other places: that's where I took him.

_Mr. H_. What was he doing?

_St_. Standing on a stool, speaking

_Mr. H_. Yes; speaking: to how many people?

_St_. About a thousand.

_Mr. H_. Could you get near him?

_St_. Nowhere near.

_Mr. H_. Well, can you tell me what he was saying?

_St_. Well, he said that all the rich people and all the shopkeepers
(_glancing at the Jury_) should be disemboweled and flayed alive, and
that all arrangements had been made for doing it, if only the workingmen
would combine. He then went into details as to where various detachments
were to meet in order to take the Bank of England and capture the Queen.
He also threatened to smash Mr. Justice Nupkins' "Rent-of-Ability," by
which I understood him to mean his skull.

_J. N_. His--my brains, you mean!
