_Pot_. At Beadon Road, Hammersmith.

_Mr. H_. What was he doing there?

_Pot_. He was standing on a stool surrounded by a dense crowd.

_Mr. H_. What else?

_Pot_. He was speaking to them in a loud tone of voice.

_Mr. H_. You say it was a dense crowd: how dense? Would it have been
easy for any one to pass through the crowd?

_Pot_. It would have been impossible. I could not have got anywhere
near him without using my truncheon--which I have a right to do.

_Mr. H_. Is Beadon Road a frequented thoroughfare?

_Pot_. Very much so, especially on a Sunday morning.

_Mr. H_. Could you hear what he said?

_Pot_. I could and I did. I made notes of what he said.

_Mr. H_. Can you repeat anything he said?

_Pot_. I can. He urged the crowd to disembowel all the inhabitants of
London. (_Sensation_.)

_Mr. H_. Can you remember the exact words he used?
