The remaining depositions are those of Noble, the night porter, John Blackmore and our friend here, Mr.Stephen.The night porter had not much to tell.

This is the substance of his evidence: "'I have viewed the body of the deceased and identify it as that of Mr.
Jeffrey Blackmore.

I knew the deceased well by sight and occasionally had a few words with him.

I know nothing of his habits excepting that he used to sit up rather late.

It is one of my duties to go round the Inn at night and call out the hours until one o'clock in the morning.
