Mrs. STbrrn examined.

lt bra tU Mantier, thought I *at st rangtod
whilst lie:d.ine in this poitiri, he -forced iis
tongue into my mouth ; he held me thus as long
'as he thought proper.; as soots As he let me go,
went into Mrs. DubOis's bed-4norn—hefore I rti=
tered, I looked back, for not hearing hini go 'down
stilirs, I was fearful he was following me. He
was standing still, and, held up his bands thus, e.s
it silently beseeching the not to InP.ntion his con-
.duct. I got, into Mrs. Dubois room, fell into a
cllalr, and burst out crying. Mrs. Dubois, after
;.i.figiiiring what wasthe matter, rung the bell, and
sent for Mr. Stone I told Mrs. Dubois that
Williams had ill-used me, and th.at 1 feared I
should miscarry. I continued ill till 1 did
miscarry ;- before .this time 1 had very good
health. Williams' is a neighbour, and I undei,-
srand married_; he has two cl)ildren. When
Mr..---Stone'eame, I fainted. before I could speak
to hint. _ •

Cros34..reonined by Mr. Not.A*
Two or three days before Williiuns asked MR.
Dubois if she Wished for the attendance of a Cler-
gyman, sbe asked if it was necessary )
said, it was not, any friend might read a chapter of
the Bible to her, and if she found hei:self in a pas-
Sion, she need only say, ".0 Christ, save \my
soul ! 'and that would bring htr out of it. It was
the mittire of her disorder to be passionate. Mr.
Dubois was twenty-seven. Mr. Stone had another
daughter also dead---slit \vas twenty-nine ;' dot is
about my age. I have been married ten yearS.
was murried very young---I never heard of Mr.
Stone h4ving been • married before. Mr. Stone and
the, defendant were in habits of intimacy. I never
heard- of any animosity between. them ;. I never
beard of the cause, Cooper and Stone—Williams
did not visit at Mr. Stotte`.s, but he'was in the habit
of calling sornetinies. • Thete was a nurse, Sarah
Cheeseman, atterrdi»g Mrs. Dtibois, but she Was,
I believe, out at the time. Tdo not know, that
theye.Was.any servant upon the stairs. 1 recollect
a bottle of ginger-wine being-sent:by WilliainS to
Mrs. Dubois ; hut I do'not knoW who took it in,
what was done with it; or whether the bottle was
returned. I could not cry out; or give any alarm
—it slits impossible for me to'speak: 1.41 id not
hold out my hand to shake hands with Williatut—
I may have held out toy band tki- a-gentleman ;
did not concetVe.there was any hatin in doing so,
bat lam positive I did not to Williams. I have
C:vorn it, and am sane every thing 1 luiVe swOrtv is
true. The cook was the fii'st person who came lip
stairs upon the bell being rang ; she' did net, hoiv-
ever; stay 'a moment in the roinn; she has since
quitted Mr. Dubois's service, and I do not kiiirw
where she is gone:
Sarah Cheesemati—l was nursing Mrs. Dabois;
at the time this transaction took place, I was not
at home; .1 had been Sent to the linicher's, and
on -my return went down stairs into the kitehen,
to get my. luncheon ;• l heard- Mri; Dubois's' bell
ring violently,
.and Mr.Williains go out of the
house ;, I went tip. stairs, :And fonndMrs: Stone
sitting by the side cat the bed crying violently. 7-7. '
Mrs. DtibOis ordered me to go down and a
little beef ica7-1 did so, and act going up again,
Mrs. Stone drying, and greatly agitated.;
I asked her if. she wits unwell ; She- replied no—
but Mr. Williams taken a great liberty xt.ith
rle sbo tl.eiideA!rihed :.o me how ire hat treated
her, and said, it stone did nut come; slle
should tile. air. Stone was sent for,' sail when lie
came, Mrs. Stone faintod•-io his arms, and con-
tinued in it' fit for ten minutes or 'a quarter of an
hour.
