the first fortnight. yV 'mild swear she never heard
any report about the master and Skinner. Witness's
statement had been taken down by Mr. Lewis-
Mr. F. Morton, clerk al the offices in the work-
house, said he knew the g. ;.r1 Skinner two or three
days before she entered the house. He saw i.er
first near the Salmon and Bal 1 tavern,Bethnal-green.
He saw her standing about, .and spoke to her. They
had a glass of ale together. They then proceeded
together to Bethnal-green, where they had connec-
tion. She said that she was going into the work-
house, and he afterwards saw her there. He had
connexion with her in the house on more than one
occasion. That was before she went into the infir-
mary.
Cross-examined by Mr. Angel —lt was in the
court at Bethnal-green that Skinner said she was
going into the house, and witness told her it was the
best thiog she could do. She did not then tell him
her name. He had connexion with her two or three
days after she entered the house, in his master's
office, about 3or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, One
of the clerks was olA:t at the time for his holiday, it
being Saturday. It aN'as the custom for only one of
the three clerks to rema,-a on Saturday. The inti-
macy took place on the offi:!e floor. The girl might
have come to the office ur2obser ved if the porter was
in the lodge. Witness tolc.l Mr. Meyrick about the
affair about a week after the ingoiry was talked of.
Never asked Nettleford the gireki name, and said
that he knew nothing about her. He did not say,
" I suppose this affair will be settleil, and my extras
will be stopped."
Re-examined—lt was witness's express wish not
to be called as a witness at the inquiry, bu tTr.Muy-
rick said he would subpoena him. He did tot mind
speaking before the police-court. He thout.ght Mr.
Meyrick was wrongly accused.
By Mr. Angel—About a fortnight ago w,iteess
was a candidate for the office of assistant relie viug
officer. The only thing Mr. Meyrick promi.sed
him was a subpcena.
Susan Pomroy (chief cleaner) said that Skinner
was under her, and neglected her work to talk to
the whitewashers, &c. She complained that her
knee was made bad by cleaning, and she was made
bed-maker. Witness was ten years in the house,
and Mr. Meyrick was always a modest, moral man.
Never heard any report about Skinner and the
master.
Caroline Cronin (occasional inmate of the house
for sixteen years) said that she saw Skinner on two-
occasions talking to Gibbs. Witness afterwards
saw Skinner in the waiting-roo:n of the Mile-end
Workhouse, and she told witness they would not
admit her unless she told them who the father was.
She said, " I will father it on some one who can
afford to keep it." Witness replied, " The father
of my children can afford to keep them, but he does
not."
By Mr. Cane—Witness had. illegitimate children.
The proceedings were then adjourned, it being
understood that the case of Sarah Anne Smith
should be completed at the next sitting.
