Did  you  fuppofe  the  Major  to  be  the  worfe  of  liquor
on  the  Tuefday  evening  ?  No.  When  I  firil  faw  Sir
Francis  and  Mr  M'Millan  in  the  lobby  that  evening,  I
told  them,  that  I  neither  perceived  nor  fufpe£ted  the  Ma-
jor being  the  worfe  of  liquor.

Did  Major  Gordon  appear  to  be  much  affe&ed  by  his  fa-
ther's death  ?  Major  Gordon  appeared  much  afFe&ed  by
his  father's  death.  He  had  paid  him  the  greateft  atten-
tion during  his  laft  iltnefs.  Do  you  recolleft  feeing  the
Major  in  Edinburgh,  about  the  beginning  of  March  laft ;
and  what  ilate  did  he  appear  to  be  in  ?  On  the  laft  day
of  March,  or  firft  day  of  April,  I  met  Dr  Farquharfon  in
the  Exchange  ;  amongft  other  eonverfation,  he  afked  me
If  I  had  feen  my  friend  Gordon?  I  afked  him  what  Gor-
don ?  He  faid  Major  Gordon  Kinloch.  I  told  him  that  I  had
not  feen  him.  He  then  faid,  he  had  met  with  him  to-
day ;  and  that,  from  his  appearance  and  converfation,  he
thought  him  in  a  very  queer  ftate,  and  that  he  would  not
be  at  all  furprifed,  if  the  Major  deftroyed  himtelf.  I  told
Dr.  Farquharfon,  that  his  appearance,  at  times,  had  long
imprtffed  me  with  fuch  an  idea.  Next  day,  (the  firft  or
fecond  of  April,)  hearing  that  Major  Gordon  lodged  at
Robertfon's,  Black-Bull,  head  of  Leith-Walk,  I  called  up-
on him  about  four  o'clock.  He  ftarted  when  I  firft  came
into  the  room.  I  faw  that  he  was  in  very  low  fpirits. — •
I  afked  him  to  dine  at  Hunter's,  Writers-Court,  along
with  his  brother  Mr  Alexander  Kinloch.  He  readily  agreed.
