He did not drink any spirits in the hospital with your knowledge, I
suppose?—No, except the garrison allowance that was brought in.
How much was the garrison allowance?—Half a pint of brandy, or a pint of
wine.
He had his garrison allowance while he was in the hospital?—Yes, either
half a pint of brandy or a pint of wine each day.
That he had every day?—Yes.
That he drank it?—That I cannot answer for.
He had it?—Yes, and he might drink it.
Did you ever see him leave any?—Indeed, I cannot tell, for I did not
examine his bottle.
For anything you know, he did drink it; he had it if he chose?—He had it
if he chose.
Had you any reason to see, or to observe, that he hurt himself by
drinking any quantity of spirits after he came into the hospital?—I had
not.
_Mr. Justice Lawrence_: Did you at any time see him drink any spirits?—I
cannot recollect.
_Mr. Justice Rooke_: Had you any order not to let him drink spirits?—I
had not any orders not to let him drink his garrison allowance, for that
came into the hospital, and he might do as he thought fit with it.
