occasions.

Mr Poland prosecuted on the part of the Treasury. The
prisoners were defended by Mr Bexley and Mr Straight.
A gentleman on the part of the Society for
the Suppression of Vice applied to the magistrate
t:l5 ascertain whether some means could not be adopted

to
prevent the publication of further details in this very
serious case.
Mr Flowers said he had received certain communications
!Le to the propriety of making the present a closed inquiry,
but that sort of proceeding was very much disliked. He
had no power over the newspapers, but he hoped the greatest
discretion would be used in the reports they might think it
necessary to publish.
Mr Poland said he regretted he should be compelled to
call a few mare witnesses, but their testimony was im-
portant.
The first witness examined was

Ann Empson, of 46, Davies-street, Berkeley-square, said
let lodgings, and in Decembr, 1868, I let the drawing-
tooll:l floor to Lord Arthur Clinton. He remained there a
fortnight, and Boulton came and had mutton chops and
bitter beer at Lord Arthur's expense. (The witness here
Pointed to Park as the man.) She had had reason to com-
Plain. to Lord Arthur about his bringing a man dressed in
Wooaan's clothes, as she found ho was using her latch-key, a
pr,ceeding she declined to allow. She bad found a frilled
Petticoat, paint, and powder in her room; but after she had
Prohibited the prisoner coming she never found any more
ferule clothes. Lord Arthur went away, and then sho
Stopped the boxes belonging to the prisoner for some rent
that was due. Lord Arthur represented Park as
hie cousin, and the night I saw them go out Park
slept with Lord Arthur. Lord Arthur left his lodgings
because he did not pay his rent, and also because he did
tot pay—
ten sovereigns he bad borrowed, of which Boulton hv d
Part. I hurried the two out of my house, and stopped his
lordship's clothes for the rent due ; amongst other things I
found some of Boulton's shirts. I found a great many letters
444 papers in the rooms after they had gone away, all of
'Which I gave to Superintendent Thompson. Boulton took
away the women's dresses.

I.. The witness was very uncertain in her identification of
the prisoner. I
Cross_examined by Mr Besley—l have brought all Lord
Arthur's unpaid bills with me; they amount to £2O lOs Bd,
including the ten sovereigns lent. I did not see any of the
ten sovereigns given to the prisoner. I have only Lord
Arthur's word for it. I turned his lordship out of the
11,euee because I refused to let him remain any longer.
cannot tell for certain which of the pri-
soners is the one whom I mean, there were so
Painted up, and wore golden hair. The photograph
now shown me is that of one of the persons who brought
the boxes to Lord Arthur's lodgings.
BY Mr Flowers - Only one bed was used on the occasion
When Boulton slept with Lord Arthur. I was surprised at
the circumstance, as 1 purchased a second bed for the
Prisoner, and 1 believed him to be his lordship's cousin.
The witness, on being pressed by Mr Straight, pointed to
Park as the person her evidence referred to.
Maria Duffin said—l live at 91, Shoe-lane. In July,
1868, 1 was in the service of Mrs Peck, 36, Southampton-
Street, Strand. I remained there until the latter end of
Ilevernber. I know Lord Arthur Clinton ; he lodged there
during the time. 1 know both prisoners well. Boulton
lived there the whole time with Lord Arthur, and with re-
sPect to Park ho used to come occasionally and remain two
or three days at a time. 1 heard one of the prisoners
call d Ernest Boulton, and the other Mr. Park.
Lord Arthur and Boulton occupied one bed. There
Was a small dressing-room leading out of Lord
Arthur's room ; there was a bed in it, and Park occu-
Pied it when he remained all night. There was no way to
the small room except through Lord Arthur's bedroom
-Lord Clinton always spoke to Boulton more as a lady than a
man. I have heard him call Boulton "my dear" and "my
darling." I have accused Boulton of being a man, when he
'aughed,and said he would show me his wedding ring, a keeper.
(Laughter.) He said he was Lord Arthur's wife. I have
seen him twice in gentleman's clothes. When he went ont
With Park ho always dressed as a lady. Boulton's clothes
Were kept in the wardrobe in the bedroom. I know a erson
named Cumming; he used to come to the house, but in gen-
tlemen's clothes. I have seen him in woman's clothes. He
visited Boulton. I know a person named Thomas; he has
been to the house. I have seen him also go out dressed as a
1"Y with Park and Boulton, all three being in women's
clothes. While I was in Southampton-street Lord Arthur
and Boulton left for a week to go to Scarborough. They
both returned together. Boulton on that occasion was
dressed in gentleman's clothes, but he took lady's clothes
:141 him. Boulton in the daytime usually wore a dressing
"ril; he only appeared in full dress when he was going
(3.,.,Ut• The hairdresser used to come every morning to do
130ulton's hair—(laughter)—and of a night also, if he was
going to the theatre or evening party. I never saw Lord
Arthur dressed as .a lady. I told my mother about what I
had seen, and then I left the situation.
%Cross-examined by Mr Besley—lt was mentioned when
Boulton went to Scarborough he was going there to play
tkheWicals. She never saw ladies visit Lord Clinton, but
"ad heard that Lady Arthur Clinton did on one occasion
.i.
never heard that any other lady came.
Superintendent Thompson said —1 know the witness Ann
"331Pson. I discovered that she could give evidence in this
case
°II Wednesday last, and on Thursday I applied to her
for Some letters, which she gave me. I should say I received
!bout 2,000 letters and papers. I have looked them over,
but not carefully. The three now put into my hands form
a Portion of those letters. Two of them, I find, bear the
monogram "F. W. P." One, addressed to Lord A. Clinton, is
alkTed "Fanny Winfred Park;" the other is signed "Fan,"
and the third " Fanny," one contained a. photograph of
„„°.,lllten. I also produce a letter, signed "Stella Clinton,"
-eTte ras a"mber of letters of the same handwriting, some
signed " Stella," others " Ernest Boulton." Most of the
pear to have been sent through the post, and ad-
dressed to I.,avies-street.
Cross-examined by Mr Besley—Since the inquiry the
police have had about 50 communications from different
Persons in connection with the case.
13Y Mr Poland—l have had a great deal of information
!fv ;en to
„ me with respe.ct to this case, and I don't think half
," has been thoroughly inquired into yet.
-I°Y Mr. Besley—l estimate the letters at 2,000, at a mere
resguess.A lady's travelling trunk was found at Miss Emp-
-16, and in it the letters were found. They extended over
1; period of five years ; some of them were in
_°„‘lgh draft ; some related to debts ; but they were
l addressedto his Lordship at different places.
Mr Derrell, of 15, Charing-cross, said —1 know Lo rd
Arthur Clinton. The design for the monogram, Stella with
a C arid a wreath, which has been produced during the en-
-1
'rY was made for Lord Arthur, but thinking 1 should not
get, •
Paul for it, I . did not execute it. He also
ordered cards for himself and Lady Arthur Clinton.
The
but cards, however were worked off and delivered,
the plates returned. The'y were sent to
Great

but
tt,t. to between his lordship and the prisoners were read,

Mr Poland said that would be the case for the prose•

pl There were 1,201 prerson, present. I
Netwell in "Meg's Diversion." I had
?f.ten seen Boulton act, but 1 was not formally introduced to
!limo until the 6th of April. I will swear he was not at the
boat-race. I had previously sent him a letter of invitation
10 Stay a,
_ Week with me in London. Boulton wrote me
fromuaxell's on
Scotland accepting the invitation, and he arrived at
n the 6th. At the ball at liaxell's there were only
oulton, Park, Thomas Cumming, Peel, and myself dressed
in female attire. There were eight ladies present at the
ball. Who I sent out the invitations for the ball there was
ao concealment whatever. I told all my friends I should
appear in women's attire, and that several of my friends
would do the same. 1 introduced all the gentlemen in
female attire as Mr Boulton, Mr Park, &c., &e,
and paid the whole of the expenses of the week
B ultcu was at Hay ell's, because he, with others
ZS guest. I kept all my theatrical wardrobe at 13,
akefield-street, and with the exception of three or four all

the dresses taken by fhe police belonged to me. During the
whole of my acquaintance with Boulton and Park both have
conducted themselves as gentlemen. I never saw either
guilty of any impropriety. They would not have been
acquaintances of mine if I had. I deny most indignantly
that there was anything more than amusement intended by
putting on women's clothes.
Cross-examined by Mr. Poland—l and Cumming went
to the boat race, dressed as women. We met Somerville
and a gentleman named Woodhouse. Somerville is a tea
or cotton broker, and carries on business at 130, Fenchurch-
street. Thomas, whose name has been mentioned, is v.
gentleman of independent means, and resides a'. No. 74,
Cadogan-place. The other gentlemen, Percival Peele, re-
sides at 74, Upper Berkeley-street. Lord Pelham Clinton
was not at the ball.

Mr. Flowers —Nor will he be there as a witness.
Mr. Poland—l think not.
Mr. Besley—l think it the duty of the Treasury either to
put his lordship in the dock or the witness box.
The prisoners were then remanded until to-day.
