'Who are you?' asked the judge.
'My name's John Ridd,' I answered. 'I was called to London
two months ago by Jeremy Stickles. I've waited here, and nothing
has happened, and now I want to go home. I have no more
money.'
'Haven't you been paid for the journey and for your costs in
the city?' Judge Jeffreys asked.
'No, sir.'
He called his officer. 'Pay this man immediately. He can come
back to me tomorrow.'
The next day I returned to the court, and the judge
questioned me.
