This ease, which was part beard yesterday, was resumed
at the sitting of the court this morning, when witneests
were called for the defence.
William Chaleley was celled and examined by Mr. Bram-
well—He said I am • clerk to Messrs. Bhuttleworth and Sew,
auetioaeere, in the Poultry. I hired once at Tottenham.
My father was a pew-opener there. I had some employ-
ment in the aura as a pew opener. I am now sev..nteete.
My emplopmat took am Man late the aura. I know the
'gene woman thee was adieu yesterday. Peonies Elms-
' beth Colyse. I have had ethasam with her mare than
once. 1 bad maim= with bet about the taidthe of 1846.
I discontinued doing so about the latter end of 1847.
I bad coanezion with her in the church. (Great
sensation.) I have lacked her in the vestry room.
I have done so more than ones. I did it because the
minister came into the church. 1 her up alone. I
remember Mrs. Diamond. She has threatened to turn the
plaintiff's daughters out of the church—both her sad other
children. 1 know Jesse Kemp. He was once the subject of
conversation between me and the pleintiff's daughter. I had
a quarrel with her about Hemp. I accused her of hiving
connexion with him. Atter some hesitation she said I was
right lam eighteen next morel. 1 know what you mean
by It ivies connexion with her. I had connexion with her
othearnallr.
thus-examined by Serjeant Byles—l have known the de-
fendant Mayne seven years or upwards. Its was living in
lialeiplaoe, in Tottenham, when I first knew him. 1 was
then hying in Semen South, Tottenham. I have been in-
timate with the defendant. I was in the grammar school
at Tottenham when I first became acquainted with him.
I wan in the school aim y ars. I cannot remember
whether he was a school fellow or not. On my oath I can-
not say whether he was or not. I remember his brother
was at the school. About 130 boys were at the school.
When I first knew the defendent he lived with his father,
who is a carpenter. Ido not see the defendatit emir, ,
but he was here just now. He was hers yesterday. Vile n
I left the court yesterday we went to the 11. me shw and
Magpie, and had eenterhing to eat. I and the other wit.
amen Mayne was there too. The solicitor, Mr. Kent,
was there also, as were Mrs. Dismend, and Davy, the
poetboy. Davy is a boy employed in the poet-aloe. We
went to the lionieshoe and Melons about half-put five ;
and I don't think we stayed halt en hour. I went home
to the Eas-mad, City•road. Meyns
went there with
me. I don't recollect calling anywhere elm. To the
best of my knowledge I went nowhere else. I
think we had a cup of coffee in a ooffas-honse in
eboreditch ; but I hardly know whether that was that
sight or the night before. I did, on noolleeeion, go to
the coffelehouse in Shoreditch last night. I did swear just
now that I did not recollect whether it was last night or the
night before. Upon my solemn oath neither Mayne nor
myself went anywhere else baton we went to Eset-roed.
We got to Eine. ad somewhere about eight. I will not
swear it was before nine. 1 will swear it wee before tan.
Shoreditch is in the way from Westminster to Esse road. 1
same here by Shoredi'ck Church this morning, I did not
stop more that tea minutes at the East-road. I went dere
to get a clean skirt and collar. I did not go to bed with ere
clean shirt. (Laughter.) I went to Mayne's lodging, hi the
Haskney-road, to sleep. I put on tee clean shirt this
morning for the jury. (Laughter.) That is three this
week. (Renewed laughter.) 1 came to court with Mayne
this morning. I never bad any conversation with Mayne
about the evidence I was to give. I said I would not
repeat it until I got into court. One of the witnerms asked
me about my evidence, but I don't know hit name, or
whether 1 was asked by him at the lione•thee end Maguie
Of SOON other public-bone. I can't exactly say whether
the witness who asked me was a man err woman. 1 break•
tasted with the defendant at his house this morning. I
dept at Mayne's the night before. The day before last I
dined with Mayne at a publisehouse m Westminster. The
night before that I slept at home. I was here, when this
cause was in the paper last Jane, seven days. On those
seven nights I slept either at Tottenham or In the East-
road. Thos tome with the plaintiff's daughter took place in
the latter end of 1847. lam speaking of the lest occasion. I
see Mr. Twining, the clergyman of the parish in court. I
think the last time I had connexion with her in the church
was so late as October, 1847. I ceased to tookp in
the latter end of 1847, tad the connexioa place before
I ceased to be pew-opener. It happened on a week day,
in the middle aisle of the church. There are some free rests
is the middle aisle, with a pathway on each side. We were
lying down in the middle aisle. I cannot swear wheths r it
was in the middle aisle or not. It was in one of the pews,
but whether it was in the middle aisle or not I cannot my.
It was not on the seat of the pew, but upon the ground. It
is impossible for me to tell how many times I have had con-
nexion with her is the church. I should not like to swear
how many times; I should say about twenty. I first had
impassion with her about the middle of 1845. When I had
first connexion with her it was close by the communion table
—(sensation) just before the rails of the altar on the lett
side, It was in the middle of the day, between 12 and 4.
She was abut 13 years of e then. Mrs. Diamond never
saw anything of this kind age
and I don't suppose she ever
thought of it. It was not in her power to turn me and the
girl out of church for indecent conduct. She never did. I
have never been a witness in a court of justice before. I
am now an auctioneer's clerk. I was 17 in last March, se that I
would be a little more than 13 when this took pl cr. I was
at school. Mayne is not doing anything now. lie has left
Tottenham theough this bunnies. The last time I was here
Mayne paid me 2L, and paid for my mesh besides. I have
only had this time 6s. with my sublimes. He has never
promised me he got the verdict he would yme mom.
He has not told me that he has offered the girl's father 201,
He has never said anything about that or any ether /UM. I
know a man named Romney. I have not heard from the
deteadant that he sent Romney to offer the plaintiff 204. I
will swear he has a said anything about the offer on
any one omagion. I said I had had connexion wi h the
girl down to September or October,lB4B. I never told
Mayne that.
Alec:noised by Mr. Bramwell—A greet many people, at
ditterent times. have asked me what evidence I was going to
give. 1). vy, the postboy, is not employed by the plaintiff;
as puts his horse up at the plaintiff 's stable.
By the Judge—lt was part of my duty to go to clean the
church, and it was on these occasions that I bad oonnezion
with her. When I had coneesion with her, her sisters were
in the church, and the little Oununds. There are four of
the Garman& They were there on some of the occasions.
Thew transactions with ma and her occurred in different
parts of the church. Mrs. Diamond was alto very often in
the church at the time. She wee generally cccumed iu the
fiellaTs
By • Jaryman—Mre. Dismond could not see from the
gallery to the pew where the amine:ion took place.
Elizabeth Diamond called end examined by Mr. Bram-
well. She said I live at Tottenham, and was employed
in the church then down to the latter end of 1.47. I
know the_ young me who has jest Int the box. I know
Frances Elizabeth Colyer. I have frequently seen her
in the church when young Chalkley has been there. I sew
no improper conduct between them. I have frequently told
her to go out of the church, as I did not wish the church to
be dirtied, but I had no idea of what was being transacted
then I . have wen her there with other ehildrenplaying,
and I have turned them oat. I remember a Mr. Stringer,
who died suddenly in August of last year. I assisted to lay
him out; and I ctutized there far Dome weeks, six or seven.
I remember • young man, named Benjamin Pericles; he
was there keeping the shop open for the to to until the shop
was let. I saw the young mamas several times in the shop ;
and I have told her it was not peeper for her to be there ISO
many times among the young asps; she could not he buying
always. This Perkins was about seventeen or eigeteen. I
sew the young woman then once or twice. I never saw her
ie any other part_ of the house than the shop.
