Harriet Campbell, examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—My
husband is a Clergyman. We live at Newport, in Shrop-
shire. In April last my husband did duty at Richmond as
a Minister. We were acquainted with the plaintiff, and
had been been so for five or six years. There had never
been any between them. On the 15th of April last
my husband was at Newport. An application was made to
the plaintiff to do the duty. The plaintiff had agreed. On
the 28th I called at the house of the plaintiff, and commu-
nicated that my husband would not return. At about five
minutes to ten at night I was sitting in my front parlour
when Mr. Stretten came in unannounced. We had two
servants. I had a child about five months old. He said
he could not take the duty on the following morning, and
asked if my brother could. I said, if he was in the place
he would take it, but he would probably be in town. He
then told me to write a note to Mr. Allen. I said I
would if he wished, but would rather not. He said he
would write it, and I got my writing-desk, and he wrote
the note. That is the one. When he had written the
note he took hold of my hand, and squeezed it, and
took hold of both my hands, and remarked that I
had not the same gown on as when he saw me
last. He then asked me to give him a kiss. I refused.
lie then got up and tried to take one. He did not succeed,
but kissed my cheek and neck. He had hold of my bands
at the same time. I struggled very violently, and got out
of my chair. He then sat down in an easy chair, and
pulled me down on his lap, and then gave me several more
kisses, and put his hands under my clothes up to my knees,
above my stocking. I could not prevent his doing so. I
struggled the whole time. I then got away from him and
went towards the door. He came after me, and prevented
my reaching it. He then took me round the waist, and
squeezed me up to his person. My face was towards him.
He gave me a great many more kisses upon my face, and
after doing that he said if I would give him one he would
go. I refused, and tried to get to the bell on the left
hand side of the fire-place. Here is a little recess. The
bell requires a knock to ring it. I thought I heard the bell
ring, and Mr. Stretton went out directly. I did not look up.
I was very much fluttered. I thought the servant bad opened
the door to Mr. Stretten, but in fact he let himself out. Sup-
posing the servant was at the door I said" Show Mr. Stretten
out." When he was gone I took off the fire, lighted the
candle, and went up stairs. I saw the servant, but did
not mention what had passed. Mr. Campbell returned
home on the following evening at half-past five, when I
told him partly what had occurred, and the rest on the Sa-
turday. Mr. Campbell wrote to Mr. Stretten in conse-
quence, but received no answer. He then wrote a second
note, to which the plaintiff replied. I told what bad hap-
pened to my sister and my sister-in-law, Mrs. William
Hume.----(A. note from the plaintiff to Mr. Campbell was
put in and read.) Mr. Stretten wiser took any liberty with
me before Mrs. Stretton. The plaintiff had frequently be-
fore tried to kiss my hand. I always mentioned it to Mr.
Campbell. There was nothing indelicate in his manner,
but merely the freedom. I afterwards went before the
magistrate, Sir H. Baker, Mr. Painter, and Mr. Price. I
think it was on the following Wednesda). I stated to the
whole what had happened.
Mr. Robert Smith examined by Mr. Law—l am bro.
rher-in-law of Mr. Campbell. I am in the law. I saw
Mrs. Campbell in consequence of her complaint against
Mr. Stretten. I went to him on the 3d of May, having
been sent for by him, as I was his solicitor at that time.
I don't know whyshe sent for nee. whether as a friend or
his solicitor. He wrote me a letter to come. After I had
received it, I went to Mrs. Campbell, having previously
heard a statement from Mr. Campbell. When I saw Mr.
Stretten he called my attention to a letter he held in his
hand from Mr. Campbell. I told him I had seen a draft of
it. He then asked me what it all meant ? I said you
must know very well what it means. He replied, " No,
no, I want to know what it is that I am charged with."
I told him, and lie said it was unfortunate be was charged
with that, as it was reported all over the place that he
had taken liberties with his maid-servant, and some had gone
so far as to say that he had been connected with her. I can-
not exactly say those were the words. I told him I had not
heard the report. He said," Well, who knows of this from
Mrs. Campbell. I mentioned her brother, Mr. Wm. Hume,
Mr. Butcher, a Clergyman of the place, and Mr. Byers the
other Curate, and also Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Wm. Hume.
He asked how they came to tell Mr. Byers. I told him
Mr. Byers had come to offer his pulpit to preach his fare-
well sermon, and then he told him. Mr. Stretten said, " I
deny it." I asked him if he meant to say Mrs. Campbell
had told a.falsehood ? He said, No, he must have mis-
understood me, or mistaken my meaning. People often
enlarge ut,on things when they think of them for a long
time, and she had done so, not wilfully, but naturally. It

of Malan mind. I told him vrevil,
ibell had related to me of the liberties ad
I further said, Mr. Campbell hat. been
time by his manner to Mrs. Campbell,
but as he had quarrelled with Mr. Rogers be forbore Lnen-
tioning it, not wishing to quarrel with both the Clergymen.
I sat down and wrote the draft of a letter, which I told
him neither admitted nor denied anything, but at all events
it was an apology for what he had done, and Campbell
ought to be favoured with it, because he (plaintiff) could
not be expected to put down all matters in writing that he
was eLarged with. He said—" No, but I mean to deny
it." He iben interlined the words " which she, in thes pu-
rity of her mind: must have conceived to have occurred."
I afterwards took the -letter to Mrs. Campbell. I after-
wards told him Mr. Campbell' was not satisfied, and sug-
gested it should be referred. He refused, saying that he
had written all he could, and he dit2 not see what there
was to be referred. He also said he und.erstood Mr. Camp-
bell had said'he had taken liberties with other ladies, and
unless he retracted that, and what he had paid about h.Js
having taken liberties with Mrs. Campbell, he would punish
him. I said, " That is too bad, first to try to injure a.
than, and then to turn upon him, and that he had better
cry peccavi—that in the struggle he might have attempted
to kiss her." He said that would never do, and refused to
refer it. I said, ." After all, lam willing to believe you
Was not guilty of any•criminal intent." He said, "I am
glad to find you do not think me guilty of that."
Elizabeth Sarah Poole, examined by Mr. LAW—My
father is a gardener in Lord Shaftesbury's service, at Rich-
mond. My mother takes in dress-making. I entered into
the plaintiff's service in January, 1835, and left on the 30th
of April last. The plaintiff has a wife •and four children.
Mrs. Stretten was confined in March last. I was not
eighteen when I entered his service. I shall be nineteen in
May next. Not long after Mrs. Stretten was confined, on
a Sunday evening, near to ten o'clock in the evening, I
went into the drawing-room to remove the china ornaments.
The plaintiff came behind me, took ,hold of me, and at-
tempted to throw me on the sofa. had hard work to
.resist him, but the nurse came by and he let me go. He
kissed me. I left his service about a month after the trans-
action of the sofa. I gave him warning. ,I went to him
and told him so. He asked me the reason. I told him he
knew the reason. My mother was very angry about it
until she knew the cause of my leaving. I told nobody
when I had left but my mother and my fellow-servants,
who had found it out. I afterwards appeared before Sir
H. Baker, the Magistrate, but I was not examined on oath.
Mr. Smith asked if Sir Henry Baker would be kind
enough to hear me before I took my oath. •
Mary Poole examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—I am the
mother of the last witness, and live at Richmond. My
daughter frequently came to see me, when in the plaintiff's
service. During the last two or three months she was very
low-spirited. I remarked it, and within the last week of
her leaving, she made a communication to ine. She left on
the Saturday night, and I went to Mr. Stretten's, on the
Friday following. I had some conversation with the ser-
vants before I saw him. He told me a very unhappy ,affair
had come to his ears, that I had said something concerning
him to somebody. I told him my daughter had complained
to me that he had tried every means in his power to seduce
her. He said, poor unhappy, girl, he could not tell how
she could leave his house to report such things, as lie had
never had a feeling of the kind towards her. He also said
she had been a constant annoyance to him for some time.
And all he had to blame himself for was, he had, been too
passionate with her. I said I bad never heard my daughter
complain of that. He then said he thought the only
motive she could have for putting about such a report
was, what he was very sorry to tell her as a mother, that
she was in the family way by sonic person, and wished
to charge it to him. I have had my child under any ob-
servation, and there is not the least ground for such a
charge. I went home for my daughter, and saw Mr. Stret-
ten again in the evening. He asked me whether, from what
I had said to my daughter, she went back in her statement
towards him. I told him she was more earnest, and wished
to see him, for she felt confident he could not deny it to
her. He sat a few minutes and considered, and then said
he thought he would see her. I told him I thought I
would try and persuade her father to come with her, for I
did not at all feel able to take her. He said, " However,
after considering a short time, I think I had better not see
her ;it may be said I wish to tamper with her." He asked
if I thought she would go back from what she had said?
I said, " No, she does not go back ; she has said a great
deal more to me, and feels more confidence." He said he
ould much rather it would die away. I got up to go,
when the plaintiff followed, and said, " You know there is a
day coming when the secrets of all hearts will be known."
He further said, " Go to your daughter, and tell her I
abjure her by all that is sacred to retract what she has said
of me, for no good can come of it." I scolded my daughter
very much, and she went away the next morning.
Miss Theresa Delafosse examined by Mr. LAW—I am
the daughter of the Rev. Daniel C. Delafosse. I am just
turned twenty-two years of age. I accompanied my mo-
ther in 1834 to a party at Mr. Painter's, at Richmond. I
met the plaintiff there. It was a wet-night, and my mo-
ther offered the plaintiff a seat in our carriage. The gate
is twenty yards from the house. My mother got out un-
der an umbrella, and I remained in the carriage. The
plaintiff put his arms round my waist, and attempted to
kiss me. I was extremely surprised. The servant came
up to the carriage, and I jumped out instantly, anal went
to my room. I saw my mother before breakfast in the
morning. My father had left the house for some days be-
fore that. I did not mention it to him, because I had men-
tioned it to my mother, and I thought, if necessary, she
would mention it. In January, 1835, the plaintiff was a
guest at my father's table. I recollected playing in the
drawing room on the piano. The sofa is near the fire-place.
It is a large room. When I was playing Mr. Stretten
came and stood round, talked to me, and laid his hand
upon my shoulder after I had been playing some little time.
I immediately rose, and said I should not play any more.
I had an evening dress on, so that he touched my person,
and pressed it. I had no doubt it was intended at the
time. On the following morning I told my uncle what
had occurred. He advised me not to tell my father.
The Rev. Mr. King examined by Mr. LAW—I am a
clergyman of the Church of England. I. married Mrs.
lelafos3e's sister. I was on a visit at Mr. Delafosse's in
January, 1835. I remember the plaintiff dining there.
This witness confirmed Miss Delafosse relative to the
transaction at the piano. The music suddenly ceased, when
I observed my niece leaving in a state of agitation, with a
slight expression of indignation on her countenance.
The Rev. Mr. Delafosse examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS--•
lam the father of Theresa Delafosse. I saw Mr. Stretten
at the house of Mr. Byers, who was the Minister of the
other church. I asked him if he recollected having been
in a fly with my daughter and wife. Upon my calling to
his recollection that he had dined at Mr. Painter's house
in their company, he said he recollected it. Upon my
asking him whether he attempted to salute her in the fly,
he said he could not recollect. I asked him if he meant
to deny it. He merely said he did not remember it, but
did not say it was not so. I called the day following upon
the Bishop of Winchester.
The Bishop of Winchester, examined by M.r. Law—
The Rev. Colin Campbell was a licensed curate in myis
in dio-
cese. The plaintiff was minister at. Richmond, which
in my diocese. The substance of the charges the al-
leged libel was brought before me. They were not all men-
tioned at one time. I think Mr. Campbell's was first. At
a subsequent period another charge] of
aassaultids fterwarng his ser-
vant girl was brought before me,and anot
charge of taking indecent liberties with a young lady. I
had some conversation afterwards with the plaintiff about
that charge, but I don't know about the Others. I thought
it right that neither Mr. Campbell nor Mr. Stretten
should officiate again at Richmond, but I staffed I wished
no inference should be drawn from that fact Ps to my

opinion.
Cross-examined by Mr. THESSIGER—No evidence was
laid before me at any period.
Mr. LAw—That is the defendant's case, my Lord.
Mr. THESSIGER then called, on the part of the plainti
Mary Longhurst—l was formerly in the service of the
Rev. Mr. Campbell as cook. I left in May. I gave
warning to quit on the 11th of April. I remember my
master going to Cambridge, and returning on a Friday. I
remember the plaintiff calling a little after ten on the pre-
ceding evening. I let him in. He went into the room
where my mistress was. I went up into the nursery. My
fellow-servant was there. I did not leave it until my mis-
tress came up. You can hear, when there, the voice down
below in the parlour. I have heard my master read
prayers. I could have heard any struggle that took place.
I did not hear any noise to excite my attention while Mr.
Stretten was there. I heard the door shut when he went
away. I saw Mrs. Campbell in about a quarter of an
hour. She came into the nursery, and said, " Jane, fasten
up." I did not observe her hot, or her clothes disturbed.
I remember on the Tuesday following taking a note to Mr.
Stretten. Mrs. Campbell came to me on the Wednesday
following in the kitchen. She said, " Jane, you must
think there is something particular in Mr. Stretten, as so
many notes are passing. I said, "I do not know ma'am?'
She said, " There is nothing particular in the matter. Mr.
Stretten on Thursday night merely gave me a kiss, and
your master is very angry. lam quite positive those were
the words. I said. " Ma'am, then he was very rude." I
was at Sir Henry Baker's to give evidence. After I had
been there Mrs. Campbell came into the kitchen, and said,
" It appears Mr. Stretten has not yet done with this affair.
Should it be brought to trial you can say you have made a
mistake in the words merely a kiss,' and forgotten about
other liberties." I said, " Ma'am, I have once spoken the
truth, and I will speak it again." She said, " You must,
or Mr. Stretten will get the better of us."
Cross-examined by Mr. LAW—I spoke to the servant of
Sir H. Baker. When she came out she spoke to me. I
