but about four moi%ths afterwards I had occast`6ll to
be of another opinion, and I ealled on Mr. and Mrs.
Giroux-7-1 told Mrs. Giroux, "I am very sorry to.
tell you that you are losing your scholars"—l
named to her several Ladies who were going away,
and she said 4 4 that was owing to her enemies"—
and I said, " it is owing to your own condud, you
are not always at the school, but you are fequently
absoht." I had observed that Mrs. Giroux• had
negleded it herself. I told her I could not think
of continuing my children there any longer."
Lord KENYON—" This is nothing to the purpose.
Did you observe to her any thing about Isabella
Wood " No, my Lord, but I took my
own children away in consequence of bad treatment.
I took only two away ; I left others; for they flat-,
tered me so fat as to say my children were the
flower of the school, arid that if I took them away
it would be the ruin of the school."

On crossexamination, he said " I have had no
quarrel or difference with them, except Mrs. Giroux
wanted to charge me a quarter and an half instead
of a quarter. I told her in case she insisted on it, I
would pay it, but I took away my children. This
was the 16th of last OdOber. I believe that was
the time I took the children away, and I asked her
to send in her Bill—l was dissatisfied with the con-
dud of Mrs. Giroux. Her general conduct co-
wards the children I was dissatisfied with. I am
speaking to my knowledge of my own children. It
is impossible for me to know how she negleded the
other children. I took my children away in con-
sequence of Mrs. Giroux's not attending her school.
I was a friend to both these parties, and wished.to
serve them. I 'did not advise this adion to be
brought, but I advised them to settle it. I wished
the dispute to have been settled before the Adion
was commenced."
