Cross.exanitnation continued My tether la a waste: •
man. I went with my mother to Mr. Addition, and no
one else. I believe icy father paid the money to Mr.
Addison. Do not know of any one else. No man has
been to my mother to talk about this ease that I know of.
I know that my father has money. Have never made a
charge against a man named Dunn, nor complained to
Mr. Prescott about Dunn 's conduct tome. Do not know
_

Dunn, except from xeeing him atkli 'Pa acott's. I know
) wing l'arker. Defendput told me to scratch his face if
;.a moved the dog kennel. There is not a clock in the
kitchen, but I the Clock in the fininwroom. It was
seven o'clock YOWIR went out. She was out

one hour. Mt feralidit tent out of toe house just as Miss
Powis came in. There was not a great uuniber of per.
there that night. A man did come and give him
ieioi elation. Did not see Lim sgaia at night. Defend-
. .

ALL MI. in the house from tieven o'clock till after num.
. .

The smelt was made upon me about half-past Bevels
o'clock. My mother went with me to defendant's office
on the Thursday. About eight o'clock the same morn-
ing led previously been to the defendant's house. The
defendant did ask me to go to the telegraph office. Can't
say how long I was away. I was not discharged for being
so long away. Mine Fowls haa complained of any impart,
pence. She asked me about td. That was on the Wed
nesday. I bad no words with Miss Fowls on the Thum- ,
day tooting. She told me to get my breakfast. I told
her I had not come there to have my breakfast, I had
come to see Mr. Prescott. My mother went up on
Thursday afternoon. I did not go to work that morning.
I had got my lost and my waterproof. I went to fetch
my things out of the brewhouse. I thought I had better
take them with me. I still persist in saying that I was
not discharged for impertinence, and for being late with
the telegram. I did not hear Miss Powns tell Mr. Pres-
cott ill did not leave she should. Mr. Prescottahut the
dining room door, and shut his sons in. He did that
after I left the kitchen. He went back to the dining
room door to close it. It was not done whilst I was in
the brewhouse. I attempted to cry out when he put his
hands upon me. I said in • loud tone, "You are 'nista-
' ken ; I an. not Miss Yowls." I did not tell my mother
about anything that happened on the Monday. I told
her I had been op to the station on the Monday morning
to carry his bag, and he pulled my ear, and stroked my
hair, and told me to tell him what Miss Powis was op to.
There was no one about. The cavalry men that came to
go off by train, had not got there then. It was before
me
Jficrlleliv
anwhen we went there. Mr. Prescott was going
to London, d I went to carry his bag and rug. Miss
Powis was not present when I said my mother had Rent
wages. Ido not know where Miss Fowls and
Mr. Prescott's were. When Mr. Prescott gave me the
money he winked his eye at me, and said, " All right,
Jane. He said that money is for you. Miss Powis
came down stairs directly afterwards. I will swear she
W. not present when the money was paid inc. Did not
make any complaint in Mi. Powis's presence. Never
told her a single word about leaving. I made a complaint
to my mother on the Wednesday night. I was not dis.
charged. Mr. Prescott did say something about Mr.
Freer in the presence of Mr. Hollingworth, the Magill.
trates' Clerk. He nail he would have Mr. Freer turned
off the Bench if the summons was not granted against
me for perjury. My mother went down to the office, but
I was not there. I stayed outside by Ilawkina's window.
ffinit was on Thursday. Hawkins'ii is about three shops
away from Mr. l'rescott's office. I was too for away to
time anything.
Joanna Lewis, mother of complainant, said: I am
now married to George William Lewis. Ile is a plasterer.
I did live with a man. I was; not married before I mar-
ried my husband. My daughter saw me on Wednesday
night, the 18th of October. My daughter said some-
thing to me when she saw mean Wednesday. She made
a complaint to me. She mentioned a gentleman's name.
I have a distinct recollection of what my dsughter said.
