HC Deb 05 March 1807 vol 9 c55

Have you sufficient means of knowing the character of Mr. Weatherhead? Yes, I have. His brother, whenever he came to town, logged at my house; and whenever he came he asked for his brother, and he has often sent for him; he is a poor unfortunate person; he was born in the year 1760; here is his age.—What is your opinion of Mr. Weatherhead, and would you believe his testimony on oath? I could not believe his .testimony at all; he is a man of very bad character; he used to go out and be torn all to pieces, and his brother was quite ashamed of him.—Is he of that reputation you would not believe him upon his oath? I would not believe him for a farthing, upon his oath.—With what company has he associated? The last time he was in my house, he was in company with Robertson, who was hung lately; that was a few clays before Robertson was taken up; I never saw him till this evening and then he went away the moment he saw me.—Was he acquainted with a person of the name of Bazeley? Yes, he lived with the same woman; Bazeley lived with a girl of the name of Lucy Wallis.—Robertson was hung? Yes, and Bazeley too.
