about four o’clock
The judge summed up . Certainly not in the prisoner 's favor ; but , to use the expression of some amidst the audience , dead against him . Otway Bethel came in for a side shaft or two from his lordship ; Richard Hare for sympathy . The jury retired about four o'clock , and the judge quitted the bench . A very short time they were absent . Scarcely a quarter of an hour . His lordship returned into court , and the prisoner was again placed in the dock .
