Mrs. Turner's moss-exammatiou continued—The father
of my child was M. de Verner. He visited us in
1852, but neither my husband nor any one else
knew of the relation in which be bed stead to roe.
He has not, I believe, been in England since 1852. For
some time before I left my husband Mr. Wedgewood had
lived in the bosom He war introduced to us by a neighbour
named Tennant in Apr h 1860, with whom he lodged.
Some time afterwards 14. Tennant got into some diMty,
which rendered it convenient that Mr. Wedgewortb's pro-
perty should be removed. I told him to ask Mr. Turner to
allow it to be brought into our house. It was brought in
and Mr. Wedgeworth came two or three days after. We had
a lodger, an old friend of ours, Count Comet Mr.
Wedgewood came as • friend, and did not pay for hie room.
He occupied it for two months. I frequently went out with
him alone, sod we stayed out together for hours at a time.
I went once with him to the thatre, but otherwise was
never out with him alone after dark. Never went M
Cremona° with him alone. Mrs. Rowley and one or
two friends (gentlemen)have two or three times accompanied
us there, and we stayed late. Mr. Turner said he did rot
like it, but he did not expressly forbid it. Was never out
late with Mr. Margeteos.
Mn Serjeast Shoe—Were you not once brought home by
. • policeman .
Witness—Not to my knowledge.
&intuit Shes—Were you not one night so overcome by
what you had taken that you were brought home by •
policeman?
Witnees—No. There was a high step which I could sot
get up, and I called a policeman to help me.
The Judge—Who was with you then?—Mr. Wedgwood.
The Judge—Why did henot help you?
Witness—l don't think he was able—be bad had too
much wine. We had been to a theatre, and afterwards had
had some refreshments at an hotel. We came home in •
cab almost to Turner's door. After be had left us I have
visited him at his lodgings, in Arun-place, Kensington.
have been is his bedroom while he wee in bed. He was
about 28, and of no pretension. I have also visited him at
York-cottage, Brompton. I did not go into his bedroom
there, but I have been alone with him in his sittieg-room.
He was there • week, and I visited him twice. This was
is August, 1860. I stayed with him two or three hours,
always in the daytime. I was in his bedroom while be was
is bed at our house about a doxeo times—he was an invalid.
I have not thrown my arms round his neck and kissed
him while be we. in bed. I have kissed him, but not in
his bed. lam Doi aware that I have binned him many
times. Perhaps I have. I have not eat on his knee. I
have not reclined oft hie bed while he we. in it ; but I have
sat on it five or six times. I sit anywhere I OIL I called
him "Baby"—all the haws called him so. I have called him
"Robert," but not "Bobby,"or " Egerton." 1 senerallycalled
him ' Mr. Wedgewood." The letter produced IN in his
handwriting. 1 had made an anangement with a person in
Kensington, named Pother, to receive letters from him and
give them to me. It was Mrs. rather who pawed the
plate for me. I have received about six letters from him.
The letter produced fell into my husband's hands, and be
opened it. He read it to me. told him that I had re.
calved other lettere from Mn Wedgewood, but never in
that strain. That was the first time any complaint had
been made to me of my intimacy with Mr. Wedgewood.
When my husband read the letter to me be did not say
whom it was from. I remarked, "Who an have written
to me in that strain ? Whoever it is the person most have
been tipy to write to me so." Mr. Wedgewood had always
addressed me as " Mrs. Turner," and he always did se
afterwards. The part of a letter produced is in" his head
-
writing, and it begins "My darling Augusta.l cannot
recollect anything about that letter. That letter was net
rescued from the fire by Mr. Turner at my apartments
is Little Ryderatreet. What was rescued was Mr.
Turner's own letter, which ought to be produced. ,
I suppose that this fragment of a letter must have been
found among my papers ; but I doe% remember anything
about it. My husband aaked me who " Bobby "or "Baby"
we.? and I said "1 suppose Wedgewood." (The letter was
put in, but it contained nothing material except the coin.
meocement, "My dearest Augusta," and the conclusion,
" Your own loving Baby."] I wet to Cirencester with him
in April, 1861. My husband was from home. I don't know
where. I rarely did know. I asked Mr. Wedgewood to go
with me—that was two days after my husband bad left
home. We went to an hotel at Cirencester. I have since
learned that he represented us as aunt and nephew • but
1 did not know it at the time. We bed two bedrooms
and • sitting roam. There was a postage between
the bedrooms. We stayed there three days sad tire
nights. No one visited as there—l knew DO one. I weer
told my busbend that we had been. I pad
the bill. Mr. Wedgewood had no mews at
all. We did not stay at an hotel on our re-
turn to town. I never stayed with him at an hotel in
London. We ones went to Bognor. Mr. Turner knew of
that before we went We were there a week. Mrs. Row-
ley and her maid, Mr. Lee, and Mr. Scatchell were also of
the party. I never went to Ridler's hotel Holborn but
twice when sent by Mr. Tomer, I was sent by him to look
after Mr. Wedgewood. I have never bees there is the same
room with ood. 14Wedgewood has constantly been
in my mom at owe. Mr. Turner has seen him there over
and over again. Never told • little girl named Sarah Hart,
to watch and see when Mr. Terser left his surgery in order
that Mr. Wedgewood might leave me. I have no doubt I
said that if Mr. Turner would die I would marry • good
many hoes; but I never said it of Mr. Wedgewood.
Mr. Serjeast Shoe—Have you not said it to Sarah Hart?
Witnees—Talk to a little child ? I have not said ft to her.
I have said that I would leave Mr. Turner as ems as my
eon was of Mrs. Rowley never recommended me not

°to leave Mr. Tamer. --
Mr. fferjeant Shoo—Did you not remind her et Mr.
Rowley, and did she not tell you that your ore was very
different?

Witness—No. I never bad any winvenation with her on
the subject. Ny husband took away a diary from me in Little
Ryderaireet. I doe% know who is meant in that diary by
