CHAPTER IX.
The inquest was held at Falmer on the Monday following, when the body was formally identified by Mr.Taynton and Mills's servant, and they both had to give evidence as regards what they knew of the movements of the deceased.

This, as a matter of fact, Mr.Taynton had already given to Figgis, and in his examination now he repeated with absolute exactitude what he had said before including again the fact that Morris had gone up to town on Friday morning to try to find him there.

On this occasion, however, a few further questions were put to him, eliciting the fact that the business on which Morris wanted to see him was known to Mr.Taynton but could not be by him repeated since it dealt with confidential transactions between the firm of solicitors and their client.

The business was, yes, of the nature of a dispute, but Mr.Taynton regarded it as certain that some amicable arrangement would have been come to, had the interview taken place.

As it had not, however, since Morris had not found him at his flat in town, he could not speak for certain on this subject.
