They did sot remain in the house very luog, but they

as she said, to look at Mr. Ellia's drawings. One Oteruooo she
remained in the room between two and three hours. Mr.
Ellie came downstairs and, stating that she was very au,-
requested that Genie wine might be sent for. When
the wine was fetched, ho took it up to her alone. Ile
wrote a letter, and sent it over to Ledbroke-square

" Francis," or "my dear." He called her " Taney," and
on the day he arrived he spoke of her as his cousin. on
one occasion Lady Gethin milled before he was up. She
mid that he was • lazy fellow, and that she would soon have
him out of bed. She then went apstaira In October Mr.
Ellis quitted the upper bedroom, sod went down to the
dining nod bedroom, which adjoined each other,
and were separated by folding doors. After this change
Lady Gethiu dined with him almost every day. When ho
dined out, which lie did occasionally, she mme over all
the mine and muted him in dressing. She looked out his
linen for him. She did not dine herself in his room when

till 11, and then Mr. Ellis accompanied her home. When
Mr. Ellis diesel out she used to remain in the sitting
room till a late hour, awaiting his return. He only dined

—could not positively say which. When Lady
;,,thin mitered the rooms she always locked the pamage
door of the bedroom. We hare complained that the bed-
roinii dour was locked. Mr. Ellis said that Lady Gethin had
done it. When the weather was wet Lady Gethin used to
remain in the house ell the day ; but when it was fine she
used to weak out with Mr. Fills till dinner time—five
o'clock. Mr. Ellis left in July 11i56. I had complained
to him about the neighbours talking. Mr. Ellis had a sou
about seven years of age, who was with him part of the
time he lodvd with us. Lady Gelatin bad two boys of the
age of five and seven. They creed sometimes to come with
their mamma ; bat they were fetched by Lady G•thin'e maid
about s o'clock. I know Sir R. Gethin Mr. IL &Wage.

a year or a year and a half ago. They stated that they had
heard •grest deal respecting lady (Imbue, and that they had
come to make inquiries with• view to confirm what they
had heard. I communicated to them substantially the fade
to which I have now deposed. Mr. Crimp afterwards took
down my statement is writing. They also took down the
statements of my sister and of oar servant,
Cros-examined —Did not request leave to refer to Mr.
Ellis when he left. Did Dot speak to Lady Gethin more
than three or four times after Mr. Ellis's arrival. Did nut talk
much with Mr. Ellis except on mere matters of busbies.. He did
not sit with us -oh' dear no ; but two or three times on
Sunday evenings when Lady Goalie bad left earlier than
usual, and when I had not Imes to church, he invited us into
his room and read prayers to tie. Never saw any member of
Lay Gethin's family except her children. Never maw
his sister, Miss Helen Poley, or Mrs. Poley's housekeeper :
bat I heard that they had called once. Mr. Ellis prom-
pally occupied lies time in drawing and painting. I have
often been into his room to look at his pictures. Lady
Gethin brought her drawing-look with her many times.
Mr. Ellis at lira, used to work in his bedroom, hut after he
