three o'clock
The next witness called was Bartholemew Sullivan , who deposed -- That about a month before his disappearance from the country , he was one night coming home from a wake , and within half a mile of the Grey Stone he met a person , evidently a carman , accompanying a horse and cart , who bade him the time of night as he passed . He noticed that the man had a slight halt as he walked , but could not remember his face , although the night was by no means dark . On passing onwards , towards home , he met another person walking after the carman , who , on seeing him -LRB- Sullivan -RRB- hastily threw some weapon or other into the ditch . The hour was about three o'clock in the night -LRB- morning , -RRB- and on looking close at the man , for he seemed to follow the other in a stealthy way , he could only observe that he had a very pale face , and heavy black eyebrows ; indeed he has little doubt but that the prisoner is the man , although he will not actually swear it after such a length of time . This was the evidence given by Bartholomew Sullivan . The third witness produced was Theodosius M'Mahon , or , as he was better known , Toddy Mack , the Pedlar , who deposed to the fact of having , previously to his departure for Boston , given to Peter Magennis a present of a steel tobacco-box as a keep-sake , and as the man did not use tobacco , he said , on putting it into his pocket -- `` This will do nicely to hould my money in , on my way home from Dublin . '' Upon which Toddy Mack observed , laughingly -- `` That if he put either silver or brass in it , half the country would know it by the jingle . ''
