the first fortnight. Would 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 at the offices in the work-
house, said he knew the girl Skinner two or three
days before she entered the house. He saw her
first near the Salmon and Ball 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 thing she could do. She did not then tell him
her name. He had connexima 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 out at the time for his holiday, it
being Saturday. It was the custom for only one of
the three clerks to remain on Saturday. The inti-
macy took place on the office floor. The girl might
have come to the office unobserved if the porter was
in the lodge. Witness told Mr. Meyrick about the
affair about a week after the inquiry was talked of.
Never asked Nettleford the girl's name, and said
that he knew nothing about her. He did not say,
" I suppose this affair will be settled, and my extras
will be stopped."
Re-examined—lt was witness's express wish not
to be called as a witness at the inquiry, but Mr. Mey-
rick said he would subpoena him. He did not mind
speaking before the police-court. He thought Mr.
Meyrick was wrongly accused.
By Mr. Angel—About a fortnight ago witness
was a candidate for the office of assistant relieving
officer. The only thing Mr. Meyrick promised
him was a subpoena.
Sagan 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-room 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.
