claimed " Good God.'" Duringlhe illness of the
deceased, no medical man was sent for, but she-re-

She was questioned as to her sespicions of the

**the deceased, it was her Imaisiess to make the
beds, and one morning she. obseri cat that only the
children had slept in the deceased's bed.
On hei cress-examination by Mr. Toreteo, she
said she am no appearance of a child. The de-
ceased was of a penurious disposition, and bad a
great aversion to Doctors or medical men.
Ann Hopkins, the cook, confirmed the above ;
and said she laid out the body of the deceased ; she
had no stays on ; she had changed her dress of
Thursday, on Friday morning ; she found two Insi-
ders on the body. Saw no appearance of a
child.

Several females, who knew the deera•ed, stated,
that they had suspected her to be pregr.ant for se-
veral months previous to her death.
The Rev. Mr. Voss, the Minister of the parish.,
said, he had known the Prisoner nine years. I.ln
the death of the deceased some very shoi:king re-
ports were circulated in Liverpool against the
goner. in consequence of which he thought it hi*
duty to call upon him to inform him of them, that,
he might refute them, or bring the business to au
investigation. The Prisoner denied ghat the de-
ceased had been delivered of ; hevaid it was
impossible, for if she had he mast have known it ;
and mato its not being by him, he assign..l rather an
evtreardinary reamm, viz. that lie had the most
tender and affectionate regard foe her ; and s to
her being poisoned, that was impossible, fins she
had taken nothing but what he ht.ri given her, and
he was, °relight to be a judge of the composition
and decomposition of medicine. The strongest
thing he had given her was castor oil ; he had given
her Week emetic alas.. The term black emetic he
expiained by saying the discharge was black. The
