C: Could any one have left without your observing it?
S: I cannot say, but I think there were too many people about. I believe it was twenty-five minutes to one o'clock when I arrived in the yard.
Is Spooner just trying to say - "I got there early enough to not miss seeing anyone leave"? Or perhaps something more significant - "I don't think I missed seeing anything of importance".
Interesting that he soon gives this answer in response to a juryman's question...
As I was going to Berner-street I did not meet any one except Mr. Harris, who came out of his house in Tiger Bay (Brunswick-street). Mr. Harris told me he had heard the policeman's whistle blowing.
What was that question? Perhaps more importantly, why was that question asked? After all this was minutes after the discovery.
