If, however, I were out of sight, though I might be in hearing, he believed he would acknowledge the facts." By the assistance of Mr.Falconbridge, I found a public-house, which had two rooms in it: nearly at the top of the partition between them was a small window, which a person might look through by standing upon a chair.

I desired Ormond, one evening, to invite the man into the larger room, in which he was to have a candle, and, to talk with him on the subject.

I proposed to station myself in the smallest in the dark, so that by looking through the window I could both see and hear him, and yet be unperceived myself.

The room, in which I was to be, was one where the dead were frequently carried to be owned.

We were all in our places at the time appointed.
