EXAMINATION BY MR. MURPHY.

Mr. Murphy: It is the f -.ct that you treated Mrs. Cos with
great kindness, at all events up to the time of your marriage,
and that she appeared deeply sensible of that kindness ?
Yee. _ . _

After the marriage did Mr. Bravo treat her with the same
kindness as you bad b,lore ?—Yes.
Have you ever heard one word from Mrs. CJX other than
expressive cf gratitude to him for his kindness P—l did not
hear her express gratitude to Mr. C. Bravo, because she
thought she owed it to me. I remember the time when it
was arranged she ,should go to Jamaica. Apart from leaving
me she was satisfied with the arrangement made. Daring
the illness of Mr. Bravo Mrs. Cox rendered all the assistance
in her power.
Do you entertain the same kindly feeling towards Mrs.
Cox at present as you have done during all the years you
have known her ?--(Alca a pause.) I think she might have
spared me many of these painful inquiries.
