not a hard mistress, and when the young people wanted
an extra 'flour, she let them go. Witness was one of the
Good Templars, and went to the lodge, which was just
impolite Mrs Jerrard's, at half past seven. On Friday
evening it was very wet, and she asked to stop during
tea-time, rather than go over to Cluspelry to tea, and Mrs.
Jerrard let her stay, and gave her some tea. In the
evening she did what work she pleased; if she had had
any of her own there she should have done it -Re-
examined ; On Fridays, when it was fine, she left
at four, and went to lodge at half-peat seven. If it
was wet, Mrs. Jerrard allowed her to no her own work at
her house. Oa this evening she was net working at Mrs.
Jerrard'a request; but Mrs. Jerrard did not aslc her to
