The deposition of the lady was then read. It stated that
she had a full recollection of Mr. Silcock calling upon her
on March 16, and that he left her house after four o'clock
in the afternoon.

Mr. Barcham, who in 1860 had been clerk to Messrs.
Silcock, the wine merchants, said—I recollect of Mr.
Boardman Silcock taking a journey on the 16th of March,
1860, and that he would have to pass through the place
where Mrs. Weeds resided. He returned home about half-
past five
also Mr Edward Silcock
oou'etlotchkattdhaey,sbaumteheevceanminegliome betore his brother.
I know it was half-past five, as it was before I liad had my
tea. Mr. Boardman Silcock returned after his brother.
By the Judge—MY attention was first called to the cir-
cumstance I have spoken of in February last.
Jane Gibbons, examined by Dr. Pkillimore—l reside at
Waled, in Norfolk, with my father and mother. I know
Mr. and Mrs. West. I was formerly in their service. I
was there about a year. They had a daughter named
Sarah. In 1860 I saw Mr. Burroughs at Mr. West's ; he
first came in the summer, between two and three in the
afternoon. When he became a constant visitor, he used to
arrive between one and two in the afternoon and
he did not leave until between one and two
in the morning. I know this as I had to sit
up to let him out. I noticed he was particular in his
attentions to Miss West. He used to speak improper things
to her. He said he loved her dearly, and when Mrs. Bur-
roughs went away he should marry her. I once saw him
take a great liberty with the lady. It was in the dining
room. When I saw this I was putting some coal on the
fire. I afterwards saw Miss West lying on the sofa one
night about 12 o'clock.. Mr. Burroughs' dress was disar-
ranged. I sometimes attended on Miss West, when she
undressed. I did so on the evening I have referred to.
She came up stairs to my bedroom, and asked me not to
tell her mamma what I had seen. While she was speaking
to me she put her arms round my neck and kissed me. I
recollect Miss West being unwell about Christmas. I then
slept with her. During this time Miss West had a mis•
carriage. I recollect the volunteers being at Holcombe
Hall late in the summer. Mr. West went to see thorn.
His son John went with his father. They returned about
six o'clock in the morning. Mr. Burroughs came
during his absence. B e stayed there till between five and
six o'clock in the morning. 1 was in the kitchen. My
mistress came into the kitchen about eleven o'clock. I
went into 1 he drawing-room once or twice during the even-
ing, and I saw Mr. Burroughs and Miss West standing
before the looking-glass. I recollect going with Mr.
and Mrs. West, Mr. Burroughs, Miss Hayes, and
Miss West to a party at Walcot. We all went to a
cottage to have dinner and tea. I saw Mr. Burroughs
pull off Miss West's boot to get some sand out of it. Mr
Burroughs said to her, " Pour me out some tea, my dear.'
. _

I was making tea. I afterwards saw Miss West sit on
Mr. Burroughs' knee. Miss Hayes was in the room, as well
as myself, when this took place.
Cross-examined by Sir F. Slade—l am living now with
my parents at Walcot. I have been out of service twelve
months. I have seen Mr. Boardman Silcock twice about
this matter. Miss West came to me first. I first saw
Mr. Silcock about five weeks ago. I nor my friends
have been furnished with any money. Mr. Silcock was
present when I made my first statement, which was taken
down in writing. It is exactly the same as I have stated
to• day.

By the Judge—Neither my mother nor my sister were
in the room when what I have said took place. Miss Hayes
was. When Miss West was unwell, Mr. Clowes, the
doctor, attended. He did not know what was the matter
with her. Her mother did not know. I did not tell
the doctor what was the matter with Miss West. At
Christmas time, in the dining-room, I saw Mr. Bur-
roughs commit adultery with Miss West the first time be
came. I was about to enter the room when I saw them.
It was about two cr three months before Miss West was
taken ill. I waited outside the room, when I saw what
Mr, Burroughs and Miss West were doing, for about a
minute, and then I again opened the door. They were
still engaged, and I then closed the door. I have seen Mr.
Burroughs commit adultery with Miss West three or four
times.

By the Judge—On one occasion I saw the act committed
,wico within half an hour.

The case was proceeding when we went to press.
