Our counsel's colleague in the case was Mr.Horace Avory, who represented Mr.Kemp.He also had a somewhat onerous duty to perform.
There is no need to deal with the technical evidence against us.

It was of the usual character, and we merely cross-examined the witnesses as a matter of form.

Knowing that there was no Court of Criminal Appeal, he set the rules of procedure at defiance.
Any tittle-tattle was admitted, and postmen and servants were allowed to swear as to the directions on unproduced documents alleged to have been addressed to me.
