There's no doubt that the carter, Field, handed it to him; he acknowledges as much, but he would have us believe that after running away with it, he returned it to his sister to send to me. Where is it? I ask. 'Yes, put in Mrs. Stebbing, 'and the girl, the little one, changed a five-pound note at Glover's. 'I can account for that, said Mr. White, with somewhat of an effort.
"I must ask you to explain how it happens that a number of five-pound notes, given to you by your husband some days ago, were found on the body of this murdered man."

He gave the two young fishermen the promised five-pound note, and left them very well contented with their night's work, inglorious though it had been.
