(Continued from yesterday's Express.)
After • delay of a few minutes,
Mrs. Burroughs' cram-examination continued—We then
went to Weetbourne-pask•terrace. Dr. Browne did
not take the lodgings. When my aunt advised
Mr. Billing to take my part in this dreadful
film he said, " For God's sake don't come near me."
He did not ry, " Don't come near me" on account
of Dr. Browne. Two or three times alter we got to
Weetbourne•terraoe Dr. Browne came. We were sitting ►t
the window watching for him. Ido not think he was there
on the 9th. This letter is from my little boy to his father.
It is dated the 9th. The envelope is not in Dr. Browne's
disguised handwriting. It is my disguised handwriting.
Mr. James—Your little boy asks his father to write to
him. From that day have you ever told your husband your
address?

Witness—No ; we were a fortnight at Westbourne-terrace.
Dr. Browne came there five or six times, and took his
dinner and tea when he came. I never went out with Dr.
Browns while I was at Westbourne-park-terrace with my
little boy—never, unless my aunt was with us. We went
to Southend. Dr. Browne came to Southend • few days
afterwards, and slept at the Royal Hotel. My aunt and
took the lodgings at Ivy-cottage for him as an invalid gen-
tleman. He had been suffering from diphtheria. I knew
my aunt wrote to him. It was three weeks after we went
there that we took the lodgings for him. His children were
oa • visit to us, sad he wished to be near them. He took
his meals in our place. When we went to London we went
to the Portland Hotel. He breakfasted there, and my aunt
asked him to take lodgings. He took the lodgings at Down.
shire-hill, Hampstead. I never went to London with him
and my servant. I went out with him once while I was
there with my little boy to take the lodgings where I am
now.

Mr. James—Where!
Witness—Must I give up my residence?
Mr. Baron Wide—l don't see why you should not!
Witness—Bemuse I have the custody of my child, and
Mr. Burroughs will take him away.
Mr. Baron Wilde—You bad better answer.
Witness—At No. 4, Ashburton-cottages, Highgate. Dr.
Browne has visited us there. It is a furnished house, which
I took in my aunt's name. Dr. Browne has not
contributed to the maintenance of the establishment.
He has lent my aunt money—perhaps 701., and
she bas deposited her plate at his bank as
security. My attorney was recommended to me by Mrs.
Jarvis, • friend of Dr. Browne. Dr. Browne knows of the
proceedings I have taken in the Divorce Court. Ido not
Impute to Mn Baines that she committed adultery with
my husband on the night when my husband went upstairs
on the pretence of putting out the candle. She did not say
to me the following day her character was as dear as mine,
and she would leave the house that day. I charge her
with the commission of that offence between the Ist of
November sad the sth. I charge her on the scene which
the room must describe. I charge her on the act that she
was in Mr. Burroughs's mom between the Ist and the sth,
when I was away from home. It was Jane Howard, my
servant, who first told me of it. She is the woman
who has lived with me since I left. I do not
charge her on my own observation, but on •
tale of Jane Howard's. (Sensation.) She first told it to
maoc Monday, the sth of November. I did not tell my
husband of it. I told Dr. Browne of it when he was at
Southend. lie knew it before from several people, I imagine.
I told Mrs. Baines to take the charge of my busband's clothes.
They were kept in his dressing room That was a fortnight
or three weeks before I left. That was after I saw her in
the dressing room, when we had • party. I said to my has.
baud, " What is Mrs. Baines doing here r and ho replied,
" Making the tea and coffee." I said, "Then you have no
right to be sitting there as well." It was the day beforethe
funeral of her child I heard the whispering nn the stairs.
After that I took her as my servant, and gave her the charge
of my husband's clothes. I was excited, and tried to
think it was not my husband who was on the stairs.
Mrs. Baines attended on me one night when I had spasms,
and wheu my aunt had left me. It was on Wednesday, the
7th, after the dreadful disturbance, that my aunt said my
temper was intolerable. When Mr. Burroughs took us to
Guiffordatreet, he said hal/should offend his brother, but it
was only an act of humanity. I toll Mr. Frank Burmighs
I would not return until everything was made right. I said
to my husband that if he would shako hands and exonerate
me that would be quite sufficient. I did not insist on Dr.
Browne's being permitted to return. I said if he would
shake bands with him that would be sufficient. I was fre-
quently in Dr. Brown's photographic room alone with him,
but the room was in the yard, and the groom was there. I
was not more there when my husband was out than when
be was in. I have often been in the photographic room
with Dr. Browne alone when the door was locked, but that
was that the children might not break in and disturb the
Mr. ,macs-Had not Dr. Browne, your photograph
hanging in his room
Witness—He had Mrs. Baines' as well. (Laughter.) Ho
had several. The children's and many other*.
Mr. Jews—Was not hie in your room!
Witnese—lt might be, there were a groat many them.
It was my servants, Jane Howard and Ann itudgnian who
told a MIL Barnes used to be oat at night My husbandi
milked se if I would sit op with her when her baby was
ill. I said I was not strops switsgh, and he went and sat up
with hertill four o'clock in the morning, and I remonstrated
with him about it. Her husband was not • trades.
mss In the town. He was • small tradesman at Cowfold
—he was hardly worth the name of • trial's:ma. I told Dr.
Browns at godhead that there had been as affair with my
