indignantly from him.) I saw the prisoner when I got
there, and accused him of poisoning my daughter from
what I heard from Mrs. Allen. He said he had not.
Mr. Sleigh—What were the exact words you used ?
Witness—l ran to the house in Gough-street when I was
sent for. As soon as I entered the room the prisoner took
up his coat, and was about leaving, when I followed him
and took hold of his collar, and brought him back. I then
accused him of poisoning my child. He denied it. I then
said to him, "Do you think my daughter has taken any-
thing herself?" He said, " No, I am sure she has
not. I used to keep poison to polish my ork, but I
have not had any a long time by me." I remained
with my daughter till one o'clock, who was in bed all the

time, labouring under continual thirst, violent purging, and

a burning sensation in her throat. Having described the
circumstances connected with the subsequent visits
of the deceased, she said he gave her milk
during the night. [The poor woman gave her
evidence in a manner which elicited the sympathy of every
person in court.] On the Thursday, when sho went to the
prisoner's home he was not at home, and when he came in
in the evening I saw him in Mrs. Allen's parlour. I took
him by the throat, and told him he had poisoned my daugh-
ter. He said he had not, but I told him he had, and that
his death-bed would be hell (which it will, she added in a
very excited manner.) About five o'clock on Friday morn-
ing the prisoner came into the room, la)ked at deceased,
and asked how she was. She said, "I am very bad," and
asked him if he was going to work. He said, "Yes ; as soon
as you are up." He then packed up his tools, kissed deceased,
and went away. As he was leaving the room deceased said
" Oh, George George ; this will be the last kiss of me." He then
left the house, and did not return. I administered to deceased
arrawroot and milk from the Thursday evening, and bar-
leywater which was prepared by me and Mrs. Allen. After
the prisoner had packed up his tools and left the house my
daughter said, " God forgive that wicked man I" I said
to her, " The doctors have done all they could for you;
you are now in the hands of God." She was perfectly
aware she was dying. Her agony was very great. She
could scarcely utter a syllable ; her sufferings were beyond
description, and she could not say any more than " God
forgive him I" I remained with her up to the time of her
death, which occurred at two o'clock on Saturday morning.

Mrs. Sarah Ann Eagle, wife of a master mariner, and
sister of the prisoner, said—My brother 'has worked for
three years as a shoemaker; he has also worked as a car-
penter and cab driver He has also lived as groom with
Mr. Wildbore, a chemist, at Notting-hill. Ho had pre-
viously lived with Mr. Joha, a chemist, of High-street,
Kensington. He is 33 years of age.
Mr. Welsby—ls he married ?
Mr. Sleigh—l object to tho question if the witness was
present at the ceremony.
Witness—My mother went to see them married. The
deceased was my servant.

Elizabeth Fyfe, wife of John Fyfe, a baker, said—On
Tuesday, the last day of May, about 12 o'clock at noon, I
went to seek my husband at the dwelling-house of Mr. and
Mrs. Allen, in Gough-gtreet, Poplar. I found the deceased
very ill, and the prisoner said, " I must make her some
gruel," and he made her somo in a basin. He took the
gruel to her himself. I cannot say whether she partook of
it. Ho wont into the room and came out again. I took
her three or four cups of tea, which she drank, and said,
" God bless you I that stops on my stomach, but what
he gives me I bring up again directly." She had a mo-

tion, which was of a greenish colour. I noticed some
gruel which was of a greenish colour. I put it in the hog-
tub. In the afternoon the prisoner came in, and I said to
him, "Your wife is very ill, and the second relapse is worse
than the first." His answer was that it was "a d— bad
job it did not happen at the time," by which .I understood
him to moan the time of his wife's confinement. I said
nothing in reply, but held the baby to deceased to have it
dressed, and the deceased said she had no milk for it. She
also observed that "her sufferings were very great, and
that her throat burnt her." The prisoner heard that re.
mark. The vomit was of a greenish colour, like the gruel.
George Carter, of Silver-street, Notting-hill, said—l
know the prisoner. lle is a married man.
