letters to Lord Arthur Clinton (since dead) "Stella
Clinton" and Park wrote to his lordship signing "your
affectionate sister•indaw Fanny Winnif red Park." and
speaking of Stella as "her sister's husband." In
another letter he declined to interfere in "matrimonial
squabbles" between Lord Clinton and "Stella." A
third letter said "If you came on Wednesday, and
staved until Saturday morning (if you could endure me
so long), we could all go up together—Oat is if I go."
Two letters from Mr. Somerville to Sault, n es
"Dearest Stella." 'eking for • meeting, and saying "If
you ouly love me as I do you, I will be quite
content; but I am afraid that is impossible." Then
followed letters from Hart to Boulton as "Darling
Brine," and urging him to let his moustache grow that
he might look as manly as possible for presentation to
his (Hurt's) mother. Letters from Fishe to Bonitos in
endearing terms were reed, and one eontained this
sentence —" But the thought of you —Lail and Antinous
In one—is ravishing." The letter ended by asking
advice as to marrying • young ledyokarmingly-dreased
beautiful fool with 00,000 a year.
Mr. H. A. Mande°, aged 24, deposed te meeting
Boulton and Part at the Surrey theatre dress circle
dressed as men, but he took them to be women from
their ways and carriage. Met them there afterwards
dressed as women. Supped with them and drove part
of the way home with them. He treated Boulton as a
LW woman. His sdvancies were repelled. Went to 13,
Bruton-street for lunch, and oonversed with them as
women. Another night went to the Strand theatre
with !henry and they wore apprehonded.—Croas.ox-
&mined : They said they were men. There was never
any impropriety on the part of Boulton in my presence.
He always repulsed my advances. I only once attempted
to put my arms round his neck. He made no advances
to me.—Crosnexamined: Our conversation was chiefly
about amateur theatrical. I was shown in Bruton-
street some photographs representing Park as an old
woman: Not a single Indecent word passed their lips.
They had the ways and walk of women—that was all.
Detective Chamberlain spoke to the a?prehension of
Boulton and Park at the Strand theatre. Boulton wore
• scarlet duets and white muslin shawl. Park had on a
white dress. They had false hair and chignon, such
as worn by ladies of the present day. Boulton had on
bracelet and necklet. The dress was very low, and the
arms were bare; he also had on white gloves and two
rings and lichee' white book. Park was similarly
dressed. He wore, In addition earrings. My attention
was first called to these young men in April, 1869. I
had teen them at the Holborn casino, in Southampton-
row, and in Brunswiek•equare, also in Wakefield-street
speaking to men. On one occasion Beaton had on a
white muslin dress, and was the worse for drink. I have
seen Boulton on two omissions without Park, and then
he bad two others with him dressed as females. I
believe them to be Thomas and Cumming.
Superintendent Thomson on April 28 saw Boulton
and Perk nodding from the dress circle to gentlemen in
the stalls. He produced letters, photographs. 14-4.
Charles Reeves, superintendent of the Alhambra,
prove! that he had seen Boulton and Park there dressed
as women, trying to attract attention. He requested
them to leave and they did so. followed by two or
throe men. They came come again a few months after,
and again dressed as women. There was a great com-
plaint of their conduct as soon as they got inside the
building. Their fuse were patted and powdered, and
he ordered them out. They came • third Ulna in
men's dresses, and it was said they were women.
Their conduct was very objectionable. They came
there • fourth time with a friend named Gibbons, and
had a private box. They were dressed as men, leaning
over the box and lighting cigarettes at the gas-jets.
Their conduct caused great attraction—they were
giggling and chirping to each other, and chucking each
other under the chin. I turned them out. I have
seen them on two Of three 030Sli0011 In Regent-street
in male attire, and their faces appeared to have been
painteilt
George Smith, formerly beadle at the Burlington
Arsade, gave evident:* of similar conduct by Boulton
and Park.

boat.race ilremed as women, and on the 26th to the
Strand Theatre, and was to answer to the call for
"Mrs. Graham's" brougham.
Martha Stacey, of 13, Wakefield-street, where they
lodged, spoke to their dressing as women, but said she
had never noticed any impropriety of conduct.
A large chest was brought into (wort, which contained
no less than 16 silk dresses,
20 ohignons, boots and
shoes of different colour, kid gloves, and other articles
of ladies' dress, seised at the house in Wakefield-street.
.
Also photographs and photographic albums. (The
Iproduction of Mr. Boulton chignon excited great
'laughter.)
Eleanor Coalton : In April, 1870, I was attendant in
the refreshment room of the Lyceum Theatre. Three
porton. eamo in alto is etto 5.0.4 a•litauu Om 27th of
April, 1870; two of them were Boulton and Park. Mr.
Park was dressed in a green, low-necked dress, with
• muslin scarf over it. Mr.Boultonwu dreamed in •
mauve satin. I never saw them before until that
evening. They first naked for • brandy-and-spilt soda
each—(laughter)—and after that they asked for the
ladies'-room and she showed them into it. Boulton
went in, anl Park stood in the doorway. I conducted
them to their private box, immediately opposite the
Prince of Wales's box. I suppose the third person was
Mr. Gibbons.
Maria George (formerly Duckett) was in Mrs. Peak'.
service in Southampton-street, Strand, as housemaid
for several months, from July to November, 1866.
Lord Arthur Clinton lodged there with Boulton and
Park. Boulton generally wore a female dress, but she
saw him go out twice dressed as man. She accused
him on one 00theice of being • man, but he said he was
not ; that he was Lord Arthur Clinton's wife, and he
showed her a wed-ring and keeper on the third
finger of his left band, Park always came as a man,
but he went out of evenings dressed as a lady. Thomas
did the same. The hair-dresser same every morning to
dress Boniton's hair.
Francis Egan Cox's deposition was read. It referred
to the meeting of F. E. Cox, Mr. Roberta, solicitor, of
Moorgate-street, and Lord A. CUnton, at the Guildhall
Tavern, where Cox treated Boulton as • fascinating
woman. They subsequently adjourned to some office
in the City, and had champagne. Boulton gave Cox
his photograph, secretly, so far as Lord Clinton was
ooncierned. He subsequently heard that Boulton was a
man, and, meeting him at Evans's Hotel, in Covent
garden, denounced him aa a scoundrel, and said he
ought to be kicked out.
Ann Empson spoke to letting lodgings to Lord Clinton
in December, in 1868, and to Boulton living there
also. Park afterwards came, and she turned them all
out.
William Damn deposed to printing cards for his lord-
ship with "Lady Clinton" on them.
Agnes Dixon let lodgings to Hurt, and deposed to
Boulton stopping with him for some months.
P.C. Holland apprehended Fiske in Edinburgh, when
he received • number of carts-de-viiits, and Fiske said
he had written some foolish notes to Boulton, but
meant no harm by them.

,It was in consequence of the proceedings of Lord
' Arthur Clinton.
The medical evidense for the prosecution only went
to show that the appearances were consistent with the
charge, but might arise from other causes.
John Lewis, • clerk in the London and County Bank
at Islington, said—ln November, 1866, Boulton was a
clerk in the bank. He stayed until January, 1887.
He used to stay away frequently. Ido not know that
he was obliged to leave on account of his health.
