We found that the people at the coach office had no remembrance of there being anyone answering to that description among the persons who traveled by the coach, but of course that would not go for much, for over three months have elapsed.
"When the coachman who had driven the down coach that day came up to town, we saw him, and he remembered perfectly that on or about that day he had picked up a passenger at Kingston--a gentleman who was in very weak health.

There were only three inside passengers besides himself, and he had to be assisted into the coach.

The way bill, on being turned up, showed that an inside passenger had been taken up at Kingston.

I have already sent down men to make inquiries at every village in the district between Reigate and Kingston, and I trust that we shall lay hands on him, especially now we have got an accurate description of him, while before we were working in the dark in that respect." "What is the description, sir?
My father is much interested on that point, for, as I believe I told you, he has a strong suspicion that the fellow is the man who was transported more than eight years ago to Australia, and who made his escape from the prison there." "Yes, I know.

At first it appeared to me very improbable, but I am bound to say the description tallies very closely with that given of him.
