duct, which witness did. On the same morning witness also
told Mrs. Symons, a publican's wife, of it. Witness went
out for the purpose of quitting, having no relations about
there, but Mrs. Symons persuaded her not to leave until she
heard from her friends. On Sunday her brother-in-law
came with her sister, and took her away. Her brother-in-
law saw the prisoner on the Sunday afternoon, and she heard
him tell the prisoner that she had written to him to tell him
that the prisoner had been to her bedroom and acted impro-
perly to her, and she heard the prisoner reply that it was
quite right, and that what she had stated to him he (pri-
soner) would not deny.
Cross .examitipd by Mr. Todd—The bedroom door was not
closed, as witness was in the habit of leaving it open, in
order to hear the clock strike. Entered the prisoner's ser-
vice on Easter Monday, eight weeks ago, and left on Sunday
last. Mrs. Hislop had given her warning to leave on Tues-
day fortnight. Had been visited once at the prisoner's house
by a journeyman baker, whom she had known for eighteen
months. Told Mrs. Hislop that her brother was coming,
but it was the baker. Had not been intimate with the
baker, and she was not enciente. On her oath she was not.

Mr. Todd, on the part of the prisoner, submitted that the

Caroline Mathews was then recalled by Mr. Clive, and in
answer to his questions, explained that she had made up her
mind on Sunday not to stay another night in the house; had
her brother-in-law not come, she would then have gone over

to him in the evening. She certainly did agree, on the Sun-
day, to wash the prisoner's stockings out on the Monday
morning, but she did that as a blind to deceive the prisoner.
Mr. CLIVE said there certainly were one or two extra-
ordinary circumstances in the case which would require
inquiry, and for that purpose the prisoner must be re-
manded.
Mr. Todd applied for the prisoner to be admitted to bail.
Mr. CLIVE inquired what was the prisoner's position in
life ?—Mr. Todd said the prisoner was secretary to a public
company, at a salary of 200/. per annum.
Mr. CLIVE said he would then take bail ; the prisoner in
200/., and two sureties in 100/. each, for the prisoner's ap-
pearance on Monday next.
Mr. Todd and Mr. Henry Rumball, civil engineers, of
Seething-wells, Kingston-on-Thames, Surrey, entered into
the required sureties.
On the application of Mr. Todd, the brother- in-law of the
complainant, was called in and examined, in order to see if
his version of the interview he had with the prisoner would
differ from the complainant's, bat he used the very words
she had.

Mn OLIVE directed Inspector Morgan to summon the two
witnesses the complainant had told of the affair, and also to
have her examined by a medical man.
