I then asked Ormond, whether he thought the man would acknowledge the murder in my hearing.

He replied, that, if I were present, he thought he would not say much about it, as he was soon to be under the same captain, but that he would not deny it.

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.
