alleged were duet*, her from Mrs Thompson,and she wished
to remove the servant out of the way, because she had had a
quarrel with her (tbe vervaut), mod was unwilling to meet

likely that Mrs. Thompson should have invited Butterly,
Omen she looked upon as her bitter eueray (with what rea-
son has been fatally proved), to accompany her down stairs.
The common conjectust is, that when Butterly, who lay in
wait outside, saw the servant woman go off with the coat
on the false errand. to Beery-street, she (Butted)) then
knocked at the front door, which war opened by Mrs.
Thompson, obere being at the time no ether grown promos
