Mr. Vaughan—How far from the Museum was this ?

Witness—The corner of Brewer-street, near Mr. Peek's
shop. I hair° suffered excruciating pain from the liquid.
MY face is burnt.
Mr. Vaughan—Have you any doubt that the prisoner
was the man who threw the liquid over you ?

Witness—None whatever.
Mr. Vaughan—Have you the power of vision so that
you can say the prisoner at tho bar is the same man ?

Wituess—Yes.

[The bandage was then for a mment removed from the
witness's eye, and she said, pointing to the prisoner,
" That is the man who threw the liquid over nie."l
By Mr. Lewis—My dress was all burnt in holes.
Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-
street—l have known the prisoner for twelve months. My
husband and myself have been on very friendly terms with
the prisoner. We knew him at Sheffield. I and my hus-
band have visited him frequently at his house in Quebec-
street. We were all on very friendly terms. A quarrel
arose between the prisoner and my husband in consequence
of a paper being posted on our door. This took place the
Thursday before Christmas day. It was placed just under-
neath the bell. From that time my husband declined to
visit him or to receive his visits.

The witness here became very much agitated, and for a
short time her examination had to be suspended.
On recovering herself the witness proceeded—My sister-
in-law used to visit the prisoner with us. After the paper
was posted on our door my husband requested mo not to
visit the prisoner. 1 never visited the prisoner after the
prohibition before the day of the accident. I am quite
sure about that. The last time I saw the prisoner I was
in company with my uncle, we shook hands at parting,
and were all very friendly. The day of the accident I and
my uncle took tea with the prisoner, and I returned home
about 9 o'clock in the evening. I had occasion after that
to go out to my laundress, this was about 10, and then
it was that the injury was inflicted on me. I told the
person who first came up to me that the man who had
thrown the liquid over me was a man about the middle
height with a thin face. I don't remember exactly what I
said to my husband, I was in such pain. I recollect I did
tell my husband I did not know who it was that had
thrown the liquid over me, but this was because I did not
wish him to know I had been to the prisoner's house. I
told him the person had a cap on. My husband did not
say in my hearing, " Oh, then, it must be Wainright."
I told my sister-in-law that he thought that that was the
man who had done it.

Re-examined —I went to the prisoner's house on the day
I did in consequence of receiving a letter which 1
thought he had sent. I told my uncle about it. He said
he was going up that way, and that he would go with me.
I went to Wainwright's, and he then went on his knees
and told me it was not him that sent the letter. This was
on the Saturday night of the accident. On Sunday morning
I told my sister that Wainwright was the person who threw
the stuff at me. His name was never suggested to me by
any one, as to prisoner doing me the injury.
