Mrs, Hankinson, Mistress of the Swan—faverni
near Chelsea Bridge, said,.. that she remembered see,
ing a Gentleman and a Lady come to her house
(which is on the River sidti in a boat, between seven.
and eight in the evening, of. Sunday the 24'h ult.
the day on which this uniOrtunate event took
place. The Gentleman called for a giiiss of brandy,
and said, to the Ladyi " Come, tome, do not be.
ashauled FYht:i•C is pobody here whom you need
to care fur seeing you ; du walk out." The Lady
at this time had the boat cover round her shoulders
t;
and, perfeet good, humour seemed to prevail between
them. The Witness understood from her husband,
that much about the same time there. was also ano-
ther Gentleman and Lady, who Came In a boar.
Mr. Hankinson served this last-mentioned party
himself, so that the Witness luid not art oppoimi.._
pity of seeing them; but she understood from her,
husband, that
.staitte . high words had taken place
between that couple, as if they were man
.and,
wife quarrelling. The Witness's husband stopped
a considerable while serving them, which occasioned
her to ask lttt the cause of the'delay ; and he said
the than was a scandalous rascal, Wand he should not
be surprised were he to throw the Lady overboard,
This Witness's tviclence, therefore, weor nrr inf..
titer than -to shew that .the Gentleman and Lady
whom she served were quite g6oci ititinotired towards
each other ; and that the Lady has the cover of the
bOat round. her shaUlderi,' the Prisoner havlngfor...:
merly stated the cause of the Lady's afterwards'fall,-
log overboard, having been his rising to puchw
coat round her.

Mr. Godfrey, from whom the .Prisonerprocured
the boat, said', that he brought it bad: about eleven
o'clock at night. The .Priuoner was then extreme.
ly wet,.had no coat or hat upon him, ah 4 appear:cd
to be very much distressed on account of tht
,cuMstante which had happened. The boat Willett-
the Pris Oner got from the Deponent 'Vtio abont 2
feet long, and was one which gOes by the tunic of
aboUt the sathe breadth ara %vlterry, .thugh
not quite so long. The Prittopef said, that .the boat:
v. s not oveiset, but that the Lady fell 'o,ut
when he was putting' coat round her 'ool.lldets.
The eitshion of the boat was .missing when it watt
.btought back.

Mis • lielavall was next brought in as a isrlsoner,
she having been ordered to thel-Inuse of Correction'
on the last examination, on suspicion of being a Batty
concerned in thisOlysterious business. She was itsked
when she last

IVlrs.Tainter produced a letter, Which' she said
she hid ,received from the deceased Mrs.. Smith;
which was' dated on the very day before the. acci.
dent happened. This letter was written in a very
friendly, affeeting, and confidential stile. Mrs.
Smith bad formerly complained to this Witne*s of
Mr, Smith's great nrgled towards her, andl how tut,:
happy she was'on account of not knowing where he
had gene for. some considerable time 'past. In the
'letter the deceased expiesied her reludance at
making her situation public, *and only wished
to. divulge her, misfortunes .to this Witness asp. a.
• friend. She (Mrs, Smith) mentioned in it, that
.she
had been 'one day at Gravesend, and had, by acci..,,
dent, seen her husband, Who looked at her,' but did
not speak one .word to her. !fhis, circumstance, so:,,
shocked her, that she became nlmost motionless., and
