The liberality of the French Princes, is still a sub-
ject of conversation among the citizens of Vienna. The snuff
boxes given to the four principal officers of the Court were
worth from 3,000 to 5,000 florins each; the persons appointed
to attend the Princes hid presents of proportional %Tine—
snuff boxes, rings, breast-pins, of greater or less value, were
given away by hundreds. The Princes left besides 50,000
florins for the servants of the Court.

The Francis Spazaht, f2e vessel of 345 tons burdm,
laden with timber, sailed from St. .;,;'in's, Newfoundland,
on the 24th of November. The crew amoun:::d to four-
teen men with the Captain and Mate, many of whom :;-;re
ind fferent hands. They were mostly boatmen tra'ned on
the Shannon ; some from Kilrush, a few from Tarbert,
and one or two from Foyncs. Noth:ng, could be finer
than the weather for the first eight or ten days of the
voyage, but it arterttar4s came on to blow so hard, that
they were obliged to drive helots the wind under a mizen
topsail. At three o'clock in the morning of the 3d Decent-,
ber, an alarm was raised by a cry and confusion on deck.
The vessel, it appeared, either steerinc, wild through the
carelessness of the helmsman, or perhapsc from her bad
trim, suddenly broached to, and lay like a log in the trough
of the sea. The day had not dawned at the time. It was
still very dark, and the waves broke so frightfully over her,
that the captain or mate could not get the men to obey
'heir directions ; nor even when she was filling rapidly with
water, could he get them to work the pump. In less than
an hour she lay on her beam ends, the greater part of her
crew saving themselves by climbing on her side, and clinging
to the rigging. Pat. Cusack and Pat. Behane, however,
were drowned in the fOrecastle, and William Grifliti), the
mate, in the after-cabin, into which he had gone acciden-
tally only a few minutes before. The captain, and a man
named Murville, now got to the fore and main-masts, and
cut them away ; the mizen top-mast went with them over
the'side, and the ship almost immediately righted. As soon
as she righted, being already filled with water, she settled
down in the sea, and there was scarcely any por-
tion of her to be seen, except the poop and bul-
warks. No situation could be more hopeless or
miserable than that of the unfortunate crew, stand-
ing ankle deep on the wreck, in the depth of a win-
ter's night, and clinging in the darkness to whatever
was nearest, as sea after sea rolled successively over them ;
but they knew not the full horror of their condition until
the dawn of the morning, for which all were lookini, east-
ward with intense anxiety. They then discovered that
their provisions had been washed overboard, and as the
holds were filled by the sea, they had no means of coming
at any fresh water. The gale continued on unabating
through the morning, and the dreadful swell every now
and then swept over the decks, so that for safety as well
as for shelter, they gathered into the cabin under the
poop. Even here she was so deep with water, a dry
plank could not be found on which they might lie ; their
only rest was by standing close together, huddled up, and
leaning against one another. At about ten o'clock in the
forenoon a vessel was suddenly descried to the westward,
and for some time it was thought possible her course
might be near them ; but she stood far away beyond the
reach of signal, and was soon out of sight. That day and
the next passed away without the slightest change in the
weather. On the third it began to moderate, during the
whole of which period they remained standing in the
cabin, leaning against one another, or against the ship's
sides, unable to take rest or sleep.
Tl:eir greatest suffering was hunger, or rather a sinking
at the stomach, and from thirst, neither of which had they
any conceivable means of allaying. There were fifteen
hands alive, and of _these not one had tasted a morsel of
food since the wreck ; and for drink they had only three
bottles of wine, which were found in the cabin; this was
served out in wine glasses at long intervals. There was
some occasional rain, which they were not prepared at first
for saving, getting but a scanty supply by holding the
cover of a tureen under the saddle of the mizen-mast. In
seven days after the appearance of the first vessel, another
was seen on the weather quarter, outward-bound, and only
four miles north. The hopes of the crew were again re-
vived, and their anxiety was intense for a short time. An
ensign was hoisted on the mizen-mast, and part of a sail ;
the day was very clear, and she could not but see it, at

least the wretched men thought so—but she bore away like
the former, and was soon lost to their view. Despair was
now in every countenance. How they lived through the suc-
ceeding five days it would be hard to tell, but no one tasted
food ; some few endeavoured to cat the horn buttons off their
jackets, the only substitute for nutriment that occurred to
them. There was no means of taking fish, and though birds
were sometimes seen flying past, they had no means of
bringing_ them down. Horrible as this situation was, it
was made yet worse by the conduct of the crew towards
one another. As their sufferings increased, they lost all
command of temper, and became cross and selfish in the
extreme—such as were strong securing a lying place on
the cabin floor, and pushing aside those who were weak,
to shift for themselves as they could in the wet and cold.
On the 19th of December, the sixteenth day since the.
wreck, and since they had tasted food, many of the men
' were gathering together in groups, and something seemed
to be in agitation amongst them. The mystery was cleared
up in the course of the day. When they all happened to
be collected together in the cabin, the captain came off
deck, and addressed them about their desperate con-
dition. He said they were now such a length of time
without sustenance, that it was beyond human nature
to endure it any longer—that they were already on the
verge of the grave, and that the only question for them to
consider was, whether one or all should die ? That at pre-
sent it seemed certain that all must die, unless food could
be procured; but that if one died, the rest might live until
some ship came in view. His opinion was, that one should
suffer for the rest, and that lots should be drawn between
the four boys, as they had no families, and could not be
considered so great a loss to their friends as those who had
wives and children depending on them. The lot having
been cast, it fell upon a boy named O'Brien. The poor
fellow beard the announcement without uttering a word.
His face was very pale, but not a feature of it was changed.
The. men now told him he must prepare for death, and the
captain said it wet better it should be done by bleeding
him in the arm, to which O'Brien made no objection. The
captain then directed the cook, John Gorman, to do it, tel-
hng Icm it was his duty ; but Gorman strenuously refused.
He was, however, threatened with death himself by the men,
if he continued obstinate, and he at last conreated. O'Bricn
then took off his jacket, without waiting to be desired, and
after telling the crew, if any of them ever reached home, to
tell his poor mother what happened to him, bared his right
arm. The cook cut his veins across twice with a small
knife, but could brine. no flow of blood, upon which there
seemed to be much hesitation among the men as to what
could be done. They were relieved by the boy himself, who
immediately desired the cook to give him the knife, as he
could not be looking at him putting him to pain. Whet)
he got the knife, and was about to cut the vein, the cap-
tain recommended him to try the left arm, which he ac-
cordingly did. -He attempted to open the vein at tin'
bend of the elbow with the point of the knife, as a surgeon
would, but, like the cook, he failed in bringing blood. A
dead consternation now fell upon all ; but in a minute or
two the captain said, " This is all of no use, 'tis better to
put him out of pain by at once bleeding hint in the
tilt° it," and some of them said. it was true. At this
O'Brien, for the first time, looked terrified, and begged
hard that they would not do so, but give him a little
time ; he said he was cold and weak ; but if they would
let hint lay down and sleep for a little, be would gilt warm,
and then he would bleed freely.. To this wish thee 9 was
some expression of dissent front the men, and' the eatotaia
shortly after said to them, " that it was useless leaving
the boy this way in pain, 'twos best at once to lay hold of
hitu, and let the cook cut his throat ! " O'Brien, now
roused, and driven to extremity, seemed working himself'
up to resistance, and declared he would not let them ;
the first man, he said, who laid hands on hint, 'twould be
worse for him ; that he'd appear to him at another time ;
that he'd haunt him after death. The poor youth was,
however, among so many, soon got down, and the cook
was again called upon to put him to death. The man now
refused more strenuously than before, and another alter-
cation arose ; but weak end irresolute, and seeing that his
own life would absolutely 'be taken instead of O'Brien's,
if he persisted, he at length yielded to their menaces.
Some one at- this time brought hint down a large case-
knife that was on the poop, instead' of the clasp-knife that
he had first prepared, with which, pale and trembling,
he stood over O'Brien, who was still endeavouring to free
himself 'front those who held hint. One of the DOW placed
the cover of the tureen (which they before used to collect
rain) under the boy's neck, to save the blood, and several
cried out to the cook to do his duty. The horror-striken
man, over and over again, endeavoured to summon up
hardihood enough for the deed ; but, when he caught the
boy's eye, his heart always failed him, and then he looked
supplicatingly to the men rain. The cries and threats
were, however, loud for death—lie made a desperate effort
—there was a short struggle, and O'Brien was no more !
A s soon as this horrid act was perpetrated, the blood was
served to the men ; but a few of them, among whom was
Mahony, refused to partake of it. They ""rds laid
open the body and separated the limbs ; the were
hung over the stern, while a portion of the former was al-
lotted for immediate use. Shocked as, for the sake of hu-
man nature, it is to be hoped many were at. the scene they
had just witnessed, a g,nawing hunger came upon them J.

HAMBURCH, JUNE 17.—The English /Net of the com-
munity of Hamburgh were in movement yesterday, the day
having been fixed for the solemnity of laying the first stone
of the English church about to be erected here. Before
the occupation of Hamburgh by the French, there was a
chapel attached to the English factory, at which the resi-
dents were in the habit of attending, and which, by !he
members of the factory, was supported with the most lau-
dable zeal. When the town was about to be occupied by
the French, it was apprehended that the property of the
factory would be confiscated by the enemy as English pro-
perty ; and, to avoid this, it was resolved, though not
without some resistance on the part of the members, to
treat the lands and money vested in their hands as the pri-
vate property of the individuals constituting the corpora-
tion. Acting upon this principle, the Senate agreed to
take the buildings into its own hands, in consideration
of which life annuities were settled upon the ser-
vants, and the members were allowed to divide cer-
tain sums among themselves. A sum, amounting to
about 1,5001., remained unappropriated, as a security,
if I am not mistaken, for some of the above annui-
ties, and this, on Hamburgh recovering its independence,
most of the annuities having meanwhile dropped in, the
surviving members of the factory resolved to enter as their
subscription towards the erection of an English Epbcopal
Church. The Senate of Hamburg, on their part, agtned
to given piece of ground in an appropriate part of the city,
as a site for the new building, and the erection would im-
mediately have begun, if a series of difficulties had not for

a long time opposed themselves, which prevented for a
number of years the church from being built, and it was
only owing to the exertions of Mr. Canning, the Con-
sul-General, that they were removed, and arrangements
made about two years ago for opening a subscription,
and appointing a Committee to superintend the erection of
the building.. _ _ _

Owing to the unfortunate discussions originating in the
factory qaftstion, some very respectable members of the
British commuri::!,v at Hamburgh have hitherto withheld
their subscriptions, the sum. till now collected has in
consequence fallen short of what was originally expected.
The British Government h, vie, as authorized by Act of
Parlament, advanced a sum &oill in amount to the sub-
scriptions raised among the British residents ; but though
they have given a tacit sanction to The arrangement be-
tween the Senate and the Factory, ti,eyhave refused to
cover the subscription of the latter. Including all the funds
now in the hands of the Committee, prcceeding from
these various sources, it is not supposed that there is
above 4,0001. applicable to the purpose in question—a sum,
however, which though insufficient for the erectit,n of a
splendid edifice, is at all events sufficient to rescue the
British residents from the mortification of attending divine
service in the hall of the Freemasons'-lodge, the use of
which they are moreover liable to be deprived of whenever
the Freemasons think proper so turn the budding to any
other use on a Sunday.
Every preliminary arrangement having be_cn made, yes-
terday was appointed as the day on which the stone of
the new church should be laid. The ground to be occu-
pied by the building had been railed in, and chars had
been placed for the accommodation of visitors, of whom
.about 500 were present. Of these perhaps one-half were
ladies, whose elegant dresses and personal charms lent
great brilliancy to the. scene. Among the visitors were
also three or four members of the Senate, and several other
Hamburgh gentlemen of distinction ; among others, the
'Rev. Mr. Rambach, the principal Lutheran clergyman of
St. Michael's church, the parish within which the new
English church will stand, attended in full canonicals.
A. few minutes after 11 o'clock, the hour fixed, Mr.
Canning, accompanied by -the Rev. R. Baker, the English
clergyman, and the members of the committee arrived on
the• ground. A military band was in attendance, and
played several pieces of sacred music.' About half-past
11 o'clock Mr. Canning advanced to the spot where the

first stone was about to he placed,—a copper box, contain-
ing English, Hamburgh, Hanoverian, Danish, and Meck-
lenburgh coins, and a parchment scroll with the names of
the committee, &c., having previously been deposited under
it. The stone having been properly fixed, Mr. Canning
advanced, and addressed the assembly.

The Rev. Mr. Baker then - pronounced a short and ap-
propriate prayer ; after which the assembly broke up, the
hand playing " God save the King," and other popular
airs. The members of the committee proceeded from the
ground to the residence of Mr. Canning, where about thirty
gentlemen, consisting chiefly of his private friends, sat down
to a handsome collation.

An improvement has just taken place here, Which must
be of interest to those connected with Hamburgh, or those
who make this city their landing-place on ‘lsiting the Con-
tinent. It has hitherto been customary to shut the city
gates at midnight, and to keep them shut in summer time
tiil half-past 4, and in winter till bait:past 7 o'clock, and
during the intermediate time there was no getting info the
city or out of it, for love or, money. This has just been
altered. Henceforth the gates arc to be kept open all
night, persons passing through being, however, •subject, to
the toll of one mark per head. This will be a great con-
vecience to travellers arriving by the boats of the General
Steam Navigation Ccmpany. It has several times of Lac
hapi e :cd that these boats have arrived just after 12 o'clock
in the night from Sunday to Monday, when the passengers
nave Leen obliged to remain on board till the morning.
This sill now no longer be the case, and more particularly
couriers with Govcru..nent despatches will henceforth he

al& to proceed to their destination immediately after the it

arrival.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

CRIM7CON
NORTON V. MELBOURNE.
(Continued from our First Edition of yesterday, and which
appeared in our Second and Third Editions of last night.)
John Flooke cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENE.
!RAL.—Witness was a married man, and had three children
living out of ten. When he went from Mr. Norton's service,
he removal into Monmouth-street. He did not keep any cab
there. Sold there second-hand shirts, shoes, and so on in`
a cellar. Witness lived there ever since till lately. Had
been embarrassed in his circumstances when he left Mr.
Norton's service, and had not yet had it in his power to
pay his creditors. Was found out as a witness in the case
about six weeks ago. Did not live in ti,: cellar in Mon-
mouth street now. Had been to Wor.ersh. where he went
by the coach, together with his and family, bag and
baggage.—(Laughter.) been examined with respect
to this matter by the S4iicitor for the Plaintiff, before he
wont down to Woneash. Mr. Norton had also examined
him at Lincoln's-Inn-tields. Lord Grantley (who sat on the
Bench) lived at Wonersh. The solicitors for the plaintiff
paid his f-.re there, they gave him 101. to take his wife and
children there ; but he had not received any money from
the since. Did not leave Wonersh till last night.
Prat of the time lie was there he lived at the Grantley
Arms, but there was no witness residing there with the
exception of himself. There was not a person of the name
of Cummins there. After he left the public-house be took
a room in the village, but he did not carry on any business,
although he resided there up to last night. While at Wo-
nersh he amused himself as well as he could—( A laugh)—
he fished and walked al,aut—(Great laughter.) Had seen
Lord Grantley while he was there, and was once exa-
mined by one of the solicitors there. Witness went to Guild-
-11)rd to buy 'ills marketings, but no one examined him there.
Went to the chambers of the plaintiff's solicitor every day,
and sometimes was examined, and sometimes not. Had
never said, to the best of his recollection, that he had been
under examination for nine days ; he might have said so,
and he might not. He never said that Lord Wynford
had examined him. Had a knowledge of the landlord
of the Robin Hood tavern, whose name, he believed,
was John Cumbers. Witness called at his house on his
way down to Wonersh, where he gave him a letter to
take to a person of the name of Wynn. Cumbers came
to Wonersh while he was there very tipsy, but witness
had no conversation with him about their affairs. Drove
him part of the way home, because he was not capable of
walking. Did not think he told him he was under exami-
nation nine days. Was sure he had never told him that
Lord Wynford had examined him, and that they would have
a verdict on his ; evidence he should have been very blame-
able if he had. Never said he had a good place at Mr.
Norton's ; he had a very bad one----(Laughter)—and if it
had not been for his cab and horse, he should not have been
able to live on Mr. Norton's half wages.
What was the reason, Sir, that You left Mr. Norton's
service?—Why, if the truth must be told, Sir, I got a
little drop too much.—(Great laughter.) It was a Court-
day, and we generally get something to drink on those days.
--(lncreased laughter.) Mr. and Mrs. Norton fell out in
the carriage, and I suppose Mrs. Norton was determined
to spit her spite at me.—(Great laughter.)
Had you taken any thing that day ?—Yes, I had a drop
too much, and Mrs. Norton was cross that evening, because
the black horse happened to gallop.—(Much laughter.) I
could not keep him in a trot.—(Renpared laughter.) Horses
will break sometimes into a gallop, and you can't help it.—
(Great laughter.)
And so they spit their spite on you ?—Oh dear, yes, Sir ;
it is not the first time I have had it.
Then you sometimes had a drop too much ?—Why, Sir,
I don't know who don't.—(Much laughter.) The best of
us take it, masters and servants.—(Much laughter.)
Did Mrs. Norton complain of you ?—Yes, although I
was a very good servant.
Did they not say you talked a good deal ?—Yes, I did
tell my mind pretty fairly.
Had you a wound on your head ?—No, but I had a little
touch of Waterloo on my hip. That was nobody's busi-
ness. for I never complained of it.
How often did you take a drop too much ?—.Witness
(with surprise)—What, Sir, in four years ?—(Roars of
laughter.)
1 want to know 'now often to the best of your recollec-
tion ?—Ah, Sir, you put too heavy a question to me.
How often on a moderate computation ?—Why, Sir,
some people carry their liquor so well that you can't tell
when they have got it.—(Much laughter.) I can't answer
that question.
Die, it happen every afternoon?—Oh, Sir, I was not
drunk every day.
What, then ?—Why, I should say, middling, as we are
all, more or less.—(Shouts of laughter.)
Were you drunk driving to the Queen's Ball?—No, Sir,
I was sober then ; but going to the Marquis of Lans-
downe's in the evening, I certainly had a drop too much.
That was when the black horse gallopped.
Was not Mr. Norton obliged to drive himself ?—Why,
Sir, Mr. Norton did get on the box, but he had got his
opera hat on, and I did not think he looked very well
n g.
"Were you not so drunk that Mr. Norton was obliged to
get on the box ?—l'll tell you the whole, Sir. When Mrs.
Norton wanted to do anything, she was sure to get master
to do it, he was so fond of her ; and you know, Sir, when
Mr. Norton got on the box, being a goodish coachman, I
did not like to see him made a ridicule of in a mob—(Much
Laughter)—so I said, " If you mean to drive, Sir, I won't
stay on the box at all." I had one of my own and one of
my master's horses under the carriage, and I did not like
to see my horse doing all the work ; so I got off and walked,
and took a couple of half-pints of coffee, and you know I
could not do that if I was drunk. So, when I got up to
the Marquis of Lansdowne's, I saw a fellow cutting right
and left at my horses, who would not go on. I thought
my master wets making himself look rather foolish for a gen-
tleman, so I went to assist him, and I said—" I must take
my horses out."—(Great laughter.) So I went to take my
"horses out, and Mr. Norton says—" John, John, don't do
that. Policeman, take John away !"—(Roars of laughter.)
So the policeman took me, and I said I was quite agree-
able to go, if he did not touch me ; and he put me in the
watchhouse all night, and there I was till morning. I did
not take the horses out ; but indeed I thought my horse
would be better out than where he was. I took bold of the
reins. The carriage was stopped at the time. Next
morning I was fined ss. for being drunk, although I was as
sober as I am now.—(Laughter) I don't know the Ma-
gistrate's name who fined me, but my master knew him. It
was an unjust sentence, but I had only ss. to pay. I was
then discharged. IF Mrs. Norton told master to do any
thing, he would do it. I think it was more her fault than
master's that I was discharged.
Did you not say that d—d b— Mrs. Norton had had
you discharged ?—l. may have said that or I may nu.
It was enough to make a man angry and say what he did
not mean.

Did you not say you .would be revenged of her ?—I
never did.
Did you not say you were the principal witness against
the Premier of England ?—I said I was one of the wit-
nesses.:l do not know that I could have said that.
Have you not said That if the trial went right, you would
receive 500/. or 6001. ?—I do not recollect anything of the
kind. I only wish to get enough to cat and drink.-
COURT—Did you ever say that if the trial went right
you would get 500/. or 600/. ?—No, my Lord, I do not
recollect anything of the kind.
By the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Did you not say you
would be made up if the trial went right, as you ;were the
.‘' principal witness?—How could I say that ?—(A laugh.)
I am not acquainted with the law, and I don't know what'
the gentleman would give.
Did you not say you would retire to Scotland ?—lf Mr.
Charles (Norton) was alive I dare say I would have gone
there: I wz;s in his service.
Did you not say you would retire to Scotland ?—I don't
recollect any thing of the kind.
. On your solemn oath, have you not said, if all went
right, you would get 500/. or 600/., and retire to Scotland,
and care for nobody ?—Never, to my knowledge.
Did you not say so within the last kitnight ?—No ; nor
within a week, nor within the forty-eight hours, nor
within the last twenty-four he,..ars. I never said so to rny
knowledge.
Have you not said., " Although I can prove ford Mel-
bourne guilty, ne,l,,ody knows what I can prove ?"—I don't
know any th;:,ig about what you are talking of at all.
Have you ne,L said that Lord Wynford did not know
what You were to prove ?—I don't know Lord Wynford
at all.

T 17,0 same question was repeated, with the same answer.
Did you not say, that although Lord Wynford examined
you, he did not know what you were to prove ?—I never
saw Lord Wynford. I don't know him. I know nothing
of what you are talking.
The witness was repeatedly asked whether he had not
frequently said, that if all went right he would get five or
six hunr!,red pounds, and retire to Scotland, and would not
carp. 'tor any one. His answers were, that he did not know
.—he had no recollection of it—how could he say so, and
other evasive replies. I bought my gig and cab from one
Saunders, but I have not paid him the entire. The ac-
count is not settled between us yet. I was sent after a
. couplo of people to get evidence against Lord Melbourne.
I was not employed to fish up the evidence. I did not say
that to a person named Sly. I might have said I was cm-
Ployed to collect evidence for Mr. Norton. I said nothing
about fishing. I might have said so, but Ido not recollect
it. I told Sly that I had been two years out of place, and
that I thought this matter would make me amends. I
..- ~.- 112jight have said that, but I don't recollect. I can't swear
- ll' . _,oo4i'.wat or other.
t% ~ -. . Wily did you give up the selling of old shirts and shoes? .

—Why, if you wanted a witness ra Alotild try And 'ght
one, and tarn only cone to thtth. Saunders
never advanced me any ni'dAty i Ito made me accept bills for
his olvn ace.eMenedatitm, and was going to have me arrested.
nevtt pve my creditors notice of my giving uphuititit.:
'awed about 100/. when I left that 10.002 C tho Bell-yard.
I don't know whether my er.3Aitan arc waiting the result
of the trial or tr3t, Norton never gave me money to pay
to NotritiltiA, the saddler, which I applied to my owe nt.
•A not recollect it, at least.---(Latughttr.) 1 had 'a
64;-harness and a bridle of Nerringlon. Mr. Norton never
gave me any money to pay for a bridle. Does not remem-
ber Mr. Norton's having given him any money for such a
parpose. Broke a horse at the Bell-yard. Sold a colt for a
Mr. Salmon for 20/. Did not given him the money ; was very
poor at that time. Did not hear of a warrant being out
against him for this affair. Did not tell Mr. Salmon when
he left the Bell-yard that he waA going to Monmouth-street.
When he left the Bell-yard, he went first to Pimlico ; stopped
there a week. Had stables= for his horse there ; sold the
horse at the end of the week. The people in the Bell-yard
knew he was going to Sloan-street, Pimlico. Paid five
shillings a week for the cellar in Monmouth-street. Gave
it up three weeks ago, since be went to Wonersh. Don't
know if he is to get any thing for this business. One
would like to be paid for his work. Does not intend to
go to the country ; London agrees\ best with his eonstitu-

lion. The air of St. James's would suit him as well as
Monmouth-street. It was either in November or De-
cember he saw Mrs. Norton lying on the rug. There was
a large fire in the grate, and the room was a small one.
There was a sofa in the room, but it was near the window.
Saw the sofa there about a month ago. Went to tell his
master, Mr. Norton, that he had found Cummings. Found
her in a lodging in Tottenham-court-road before he went
to Wonersh. Cummings went to Woncrsh about three
weeks since. Ile had been there some days before she
arrived. She lived at the house of a person named Franks,
near Lord Grantley's. Might have spoken to her about
this business—it was natural he should. Cummings had

three children. He did not know of either her -or the
children going by any name but Cummings. She passed
as a widow.

Re-examined by Sir W. FOLLETT—Was in the 73d
Regiment of Foot. Was at the battle of Waterloo, and
had a pension of sixpence a day. Was discharged in 1819.
Lived with Mr. Charles Norton, a Lieutenant in the 521,
before he went to live with Mr. Norton. Had a certifi-
cate of good conduct from his regiment. Cumbers keeps
the Robin Hood public-house. Sly is a hemp and leather
seller in St. Andrew-street.

Mr. THESSIGER requested that the next witness should
be sworn on a Bible with the cross, she being a Roman
Catholic.

Anne Cummings, examined by Mr. CROWDER—Was in
the service of Mrs. Norton two years and three months.
Went into it in October, 1831. Was nurse to Mrs. Nor-
ton. There was one child when she went first. Attended
upon both Mrs. Norton and the child. Lord Melbourne
used to visit there. He called frequently three or four,
and sometimes five times a week. He called at twelve
sometimes, and sometimes in the afternoon. He remained
an hour and sometimes better. Opened the door once or
twice for Lord Melbourne. Her orders were to say that
Mrs. Norton was not at home when Lord Melbourne
was there. Recollects bringing pen and paper to the
monthly nurse, to write to Lord Melbourne after her
confinement, as Mrs. Norton was not able to write
herself. Mrs. Norton asked her why she did not
put ribbands on her dressing-gown, and that she
was afraid Lord Melbourne would call before it
was ready. After the birth of the second child, she recol-
lected Mrs. Norton kissing the baby in the presence of
Lord Melbourne, and asking him was it not a handsome
child ? Lord Melbourne said it was, and Rot like Norton.
Saw Mrs. Norton with her hand on Lord Melbourne's
knee once when she went into the room with the baby
without knocking. Had seen Mrs. Norton another time
sitting beside Lord Melbourne on the sofa, with her hand
on his shoulder. She generally assisted Mrs. Norton to
dress. She assisted Ninette Elliot to dress her sometimes.
Mrs. Norton always rouged, and sometimes penciled her
eyebrows. Was in the habit of taking her a clean pocket-
handkerchief. Mrs. Norton always rung for her to settle her
collar. When she came up stairs during Lord Melbourne's
visits her waistband used to be off, and she was called to
assist in putting it on. She (Mrs. Norton) always asked
for another pocket handkerchief, and told her to hurry,
as Lord Melbourne was waiting to see her again.
Lord Melbourne remained about half an hour after this.
She attended to Mrs. Norton's liner), but took no particu-
lar notice, as she had no suspicietn of anything wrong.
Cross-examined by Mr. THESSIGER—Is a widow at
present. Her husband is dead about six years ; his name
was Cummings. She has not gone by that name lately,
but by the name of a man to whom she is going to be mar-
ried. She went by his name, since she left Mr. Thessi-
ger's bouse.—(A laugh, in which Mr. Thessiger joined)
The man's name was Owen, by whose name she went.
She came into Mr. Thessiger's service as a widow. Had a
child four months after she left Mr. Thessiger. Intended
to marry Owen when trade got good.—(A laugh.) They
wanted money. Was living in Cumberland-street, Mid-
dlesex Hospital, before she went to Wonersh. Went by
the name of. Owen there, and since the baby was born.
Was so teazed by persons coming from Lord Melbourne,
and others, -that she was obliged to go to Wonersh.—(A
laugh.) She told this to Mr. Norton's lawyers, and that
old gentleman there (pointing to Mr. Vizard, Lord Mel-
bourne's agent.) Saw Mr. Vizard but once. He did not
tell her to go into the country. Was told to go Wonersh
by one of the clerks. The clerk asked her:would she like to
go there ; and she said yes. Knew that Lord Grantley
lived at Wonersh. Her travelling expenses were paid-
She went by herself, with three children. Got her expenses,
.51., from a gentleman (Mr. Curry.) Got 11. .ss. every week
after she went there, all but one week, then she got 1/. ; this
she got from Mr. Head, who is something on Lord Grant-
ley's estate. She saw Fluke and his wife there. Talked
with them about this business. Fluke used to tell her the
positions he saw Lord Melbourne in, and she used to tell
Fluke the positions she saw him in. She was examined four
times before she left London. Was examined once at
Wonersh by Mr. Wynn. Saw Lord Grantley ; he put
no questions to her. Mr. Norton was there, but he did not
examine her then. He did so in London once. She was
examined five times altogether to the best of her knowledge.
Was never promised any money if she went down into the
country ; all she was desired was to tell the truth. Knows
Mrs. Garrett lived in the same house with her. Does not
recollect having spoken to her about this matter. She might
have done so. Does not recollect having stated to anybody
that when Lord Melbourne came to Mrs. Norton's she
used to go into the room without reserve. Went twice
into the room without knocking at the door. Can-
not swear that she did not go oftener. Mr. Norton used to
come from his office about five o'clock in the evening; could
not say whether he came home earlier. Recollects him
coming home twice earlier than four o'clock to go to ride in
the Park with Mrs. Norton. Recollects once Mr. Norton
being writing in the dining-room and Lord Melbourne up
stairs. Recollects Lord Melbourne dining at Mrs. Nor-
ton's ; he came to two dinner parties after little Brinsley
was born. The nurse, Mrs. Lily, was there seven days'
after the child was born.. Mrs. Norton had her dressing-
gowns ready before she was confined, but they had not rib-
bands to them. She generally sent the linen to the wash
every week. Never saw any thing to excite suspicion in
the conduct of Lord Melbourne and Mrs. Norton while
she lived in Mr. Norton's house.
Re-examined by Sir W. FOLLETT—HA seen what she
had sworn to to-day, but never suspected any thing wrong.
She thought the kneeling and putting the hand on the knee
a great liberty, but thought it was merely because of the
great friendship between his Lordship and Mrs.
Norton's father. Mrs. Norton told her that he
had been so one day after Lord Melbourne had
gone about an hour. It was after the birth of Brinsley,
the second boy. The witnesses for the defendant were in
a different room from those for the plaintiff. Lived with
Mrs. Norton for two years and three months. Lived be-
fore with General Teyfe and Dr. Herbert, who recom-
mended her to Mrs. Norton and Mr. Thessiger. Owen
was a tailor, to whom she was to be married. She told
the gentleman who wanted her to go down to Wonersh,
that gentlemen were calling upon her, so that she could
not attend to her work. They sent Mrs. More to her,
who was the nurse whom she succeeded in Mrs. Norton's
service. Mrs. More wanted her to go and see Mrs. Nor-
ton, as it would not suit her, as witness, to say anything
against her. Having told the plaintiff's solicitor of that,
then he spoke of her going to the country. She received
from the plaintiff's solicitor altogether 81., besides the 1 1.55.
a week for four weeks. Mr. Vizard put a good many
questions to her. He called upon her the same day as
Mrs. More. Mr. Norton said she was to speak the truth,
and if she did not come Ile would send a policeman for her
and compel her.
Mrs. Morris, examined by Sir W. FOLLELT—Lived in
Mrs. Norton's service. The letters produced were in her
handwriting. (The letters referred to by Sir William Fol-
lett in his address to the Jury wore here put in and read.)
Witness lived there two years. Lord Melbourne was -fre-
quently in the habit of calling. Had often carried notes
from Mrs. Norton to Lord Melbourne ; never any back.
She was nurse. The children, were never allowed in the
room, as Lord Melbourne did not like children. She was
in the service at the present time. Mrs. Norton left home
on the 29th of March. The children were now in the
country, under the care of witness. Had not seen Mrs.
Norton since.
Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY.-GENERAL--KDCW
there was a quarrel between Mr. and Mrs. Norton, but did
not know what it was about. She was aware that Mrs.
Norton wanted to go to Frampton with her children to visit
her brotheks. Did not know that Mr. Norton was
