Trial of the Tichborne Claimant: witnesses for the defence, 1873. '1. Sergeant Snelson, recruiting-sergeant who lately measured the defendant's figure, with the Usher of the Court administering the oath to him; reporters below. 2. Mr. Page, wharfinger and lighterman, who knew Arthur Orton as a boy, and who declared that the man now on trial was not Arthur Orton. 3. Mr. George Charles Salloway, a sailmaker, who was a playfellow of Arthur Orton in their boyhood, and did not recognise him in the defendant. 4. Mr. Finnis, lighterman and barge-owner of Wapping, who gave similar testimony. 5. Mr. Peter Goddard, plumber and glazier. 6. Mr. Winer, retired fish-dealer. 7. Mr. Weston, shoemaker, all of that neighbourhood, who remembered what Arthur Orton was twenty or five-and-twenty years ago, and did not think the person now before them was at all like him...Thomas Castro or Arthur Orton...is accused of perjury in the recent lawsuit upon his claim to be Sir Roger Charles Doughty Tichborne, heir to the Tichborne estates...[During] cross-examination, two or three of the first witnesses called, Mr. Page, Mr. Salloway, and Mr. Weston, admitted that they had taken part in the local efforts to support the defendant's claim as Sir Roger Tichborne'.
