To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After Lefroy had arrived at Brighton, Watson states that he asked him: "What about these two flash sovereigns?" I asked him whether he did not say, "these two sovereigns," without using the word "flash." He replied that he was not sure he did not; If Watson said merely, "these two ■if^ APPENDIX. sovereigns," not employing the word "flash," Lefroy's answer is intelligible, for he said : " I have no sovereigns." Watson had them in the palm of his hand ; and if the heads were turned up they would ...look like sovereigns. To show, then, how un- substantial and insecure it is to rely upon every word "Watson states, I would remind you that that witness, when pressed, would not swear whether he used the word " flash " or not. Now, he says, "the train slackened at Hassock's Gate down to four miles an hour ; " and he is the man who asserts that it is perfectly possible for a person, when a train is in motion, to pass from one carriage to another. You will see the importance of that by-and-by. Now, it has not been con- clusively proved that there was no third man in the compart- ment.
