That the boy was Tempest, and that scarcely two minutes after he had left, and just after Mr Jarman, having stayed to examine the damage to the door, had turned to go away, the explosion occurred; that he heard a cry from young Sugden, the lodge-keeper's son, who was passing at the time, and was thrown violently forward against the railings, cutting his head badly.
"How do you know the boy was Tempest ?" asked the magistrate.
"I recognised him in the dark," said Mr Jarman.

"In fact, I expected him." "Expected him ?" "Yes, he had sent his fag for a jacket just previously, and I had sent the fag back." "Why ?" "Boys are not allowed to enter the gymnasium after dark." "Is that a rule of the school ?" "It is my rule." "Does it apply to senior boys as well as juniors ?" asked Tempest.
"I am responsible for the gymnasium, and--" "That is not the question," said the magistrate.

"Have you ever allowed senior boys in the gymnasium after dark ?" "I may have; but I forbade Tempest to enter last night." "What harm was there in his fetching his coat, if it was not against rules ?" "It was against rules to go in when I told him not." "Well, well," said Captain Rymer, "that is a matter that need not detain us.

Have you any more questions, Mr Tempest ?" "Yes, please, sir.

You said you were expecting me, Mr Jarman.
