The Governor kindly allowed one of my friends to fetch me a little brandy.

Then we drove back to prison, where I had some more dry bread and thin cocoa.
The next morning, after an exactly similar meal, we drove down again to the court.
Lord Coleridge's summing-up lasted nearly two hours, and, like my defence, it was listened to by a crowded court, which included a large number of gentlemen of the wig and gown.

His lordship's address is reported at length in the "Three Trials for Blasphemy," and a revised copy was published by himself.

His view of the law has been dealt with already in my Preface.

What I wish to say here is, that Lord Coleridge's demeanor was in marked contrast with Judge North's.
