ABSTRACT
Captain Hamilton was so violently affected by what he had heard, that it was some time before he could be persuaded not to go precipitately into the room of the wounded robber. But when the first ebullition of his passions was abated, he thanked his friends for their interference, as his abruptly breaking in upon a man in his situation might have had fatal consequences. But he expressed his most earnest wish to have an interview with him before witnesses, as he said, turning to Lord Montgomery, that he was convinced, from / what Dr. Philpot had related, it was in his power to unravel the mystery of his fate.
