COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Chief Justice TDIDALL.)
FRA.II2It V. BAGLEY.-CADI. COX.

The evidence on the part of the defendant was proceeded
with at the opening of the Court this morning.
Dr. Smith was called, and examined by Mr. WORDSWORTH
—The witness proved he knew Mr. Fraser, and that it was
at his house Mr. Fraser first met Miss Simmons. He once
dined with Mr. Fraser at his chambers, and supped with him
twice. He saw a lady named Dalgleish with him, to whom
Mr. Fraser paid more attention than he (witness) thought
proper. He also saw the Arnolds with him.
Sophia Dalgleish, examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—I reside
with my father in Park-road Cottage. I was introduced to
Mr. Fraser. I had then two married sisters. It was in
1840. I was at that time engaged to be married. Mr. Fraser
visited me with Mr. Fitzjames at our house. They became
acquainted through me with my sister. The engagement
between me and Mr. Wapping, to whom I was engaged, was
broken off. Mr. Fraser was introduced to us as a married
man. My mother made inquiries after Mrs. Fraser. We
wished to be introduced to her. Mr. Fraser said she resided
in the country, and scarcely ever came to town. He said her
little boy Was in very delicate health. The acquaintance be-
tween Mr. Fraser and our family continued about two years ;
he always said his wife was in the country.
Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER—I first told what I
knew of this subject to Mr. Shaw, about three weeks ago; I
told it to my acquaintance generally.
Re-examined by Mr. CHAmßEß.s—When I first saw Mr.
Fraser he behaved in a manner that I did not approve ; he
treated me as a child, and kissed me once in the hall. I told
him not to do it again. After that
.his conduct was very
gentlemanly, and I had nothing to complain of.
Mrs. Ann Richards examined by Mr. WORDSWORTH.—I
lived with Mr. Fraser in the King's Bench-walk. I often saw
Mr. Bagley with him. They were very great friends. There
were various ladies coming to Mr. Fraser. I saw a Miss
Simmons there. I cannot say whether she was there once,
twice, or thrice. I recollect on one occasion he had two
lathes with him. He sent ene away in a cab, and the other
remained. I saw Miss Arnold there. Her father brought her
two or three times, and left her with Mr. Fraser. She
dined and took tea with Mr. Fraser, and used to go out about
eleven o'clock. I recollect on one occasion Miss Arnold and
her brother came to Mr. Fraser's about. seven o'clock in the
morning. They breakfasted together and went off to the
South Sea House, where Mr. Arnold had a situation. Some
time after Miss Arnold came in a cab with two other ladies.

Mr. Fraser was not at home. They had a dispute with the
cabman. I know Mrs. Fraser. She came on one occasion to
the chambers of Mr. Fraser to have a cheque changed. Mr.
Fraser was not at home. She then went to Mr. Bagley's
chambers. I went to get the cheque changed. I met Mr.
Bagley, and told him Mrs. Fraser was there. He did not go
in. On another occasion Mrs. Fraser came to the chambers of
Mr. Fraser. She appeared to be in a disturbed state of mind.
She searched the chambers. I went down and told Mr. Bagley.
He came up and remonstrated with her, and told her that she
ought not to do so.
Mrs. Lillywhite examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—I was in
the service of Mr. Arnold, of the South Sea House. I know
Mr. Fraser. One of the Misses Arnold was abroad. While
she was abroad there was a Miss Simmons at the South Sea
House. She was there about a year and seven months. Mr.
Fraser brought Miss Arnold home. They came in the even-
ing. Mr. Fraser paid Miss Simmons every attention, and
took her to several places of amusement. Sometimes he took
Miss Arnold and Miss Simmons together. Miss Arnold
was not in such good spirits a short time after
she came from Germany as she was when she first came.
On one occasion she was in hysterics from eleven till five
o'clock ; she called out the name of Fraser several times. I
recollect a note being brought by Mr. Fraser's clerk to Miss
Simmons. Miss Simmons went out in the course of the
evening. After that Miss Arnold got ill ; I was sent away.
About a fortnight afterwards I was sent for ; there was no
servant kept while I was away. Preparations were made to
take Miss Arnold down to Devonshire. Mr. Fraser knew of
those preparations. On another occasion she went to Read-
ing. I delivered several notes to Miss Arnold
which I received from Mr. Fraser's clerk. He sent
some jewellery to Miss Simmons and Miss Arnold.
Mr. Fraser used to remain very late. He slept at the house
several times when Miss Arnold was there. Miss Simmonds
did not sleep with her. Miss Arnold and Mr. Fraser used to
breakfast together when Mr. Fraser slept in the house. I
recollect on one occasion going into the drawing-room to light
the fire ;it was between seven and eight o'clock. Mr. Fraser
slept in the drawing-room. Miss Arnold slept in a room off
the drawing-room. When I went in Mr. Fraser was in
the drawing-room. While lighting the fire Miss Arnold
came in. She was not dressed; she had her night-dress-and
a shawl on. It was the dress she slept in. I remarked, on
one occasion, that Mr. Fraser had better live in the house
altogether ;he was coming so often. Mr. Fraser used to take
her out for an entire day. I heard him say, on one occasion,
he was taking her to his sister's. He used call Miss Arnold
Eliza. She used to let Mr. Fraser out of the house when he
remained late. I left the Arnolds in February, 1842. I left
to be married.
Cross •examined by Mr. THEsiGEß—There were about ten
rooms in the house. Mr. Arnold's family lived in the house.
I slept in a room near the kitchen. I married last November
twelve months. My husband is a carpenter and wholesale
cheesemonger. We live in Cecil-court, St. Martin's-lane.
Miss Arnold went to Reading in 1841, in the summer. It
was after she came from Exeter that she went to Reading.
I was in the service of the Arnolds about two years, when Miss
Arnold came from abroad. I went into the service of the
Amolds in 1839. Miss Arnold remained 12 months in Exe-
ter. To the best of my recollection it was in 1841 she went
to Exeter. Mr. Shaw called upon me about this matter. A
lady called upon me. I don't know who she was. She
asked where Miss Simmons was. That was all. I told
Mr. Shaw about what I saw in the drawing-room. The lady
who called was a respectable person. I did not receive any-
thing. I was promised nothing.
Mr. Bishop, who acted as solicitor of Mr. Fraser in 1841,
with regard to the bill of sale referred to by Mr. White in his
evidence yesterday, proved that Mr. Fraser requested Mr.
Bagley to go to Mrs. Fraser to reconcile her to the step. Mrs.
Fraser called at my office five or six times. She always in-
quired after her husband, and complained to witness of his
absence from her, and his associating with others. She asked
witness for the address of Mr. Fraser. Witness did not give
the address, because he had directions to that effect from Mr.
Fraser. On one occasion, in 1842, Mrs. Fraser called at witness's
office with some shirts belonging to Mr. Fraser. Mr. and Mrs.
Fraser met on one occasion at my office. Mr. Fraser was
living at Stamford-street then. I had a conversation in
1840 with Mr. Fraser respecting Miss Simmons. I was
introduced to her at Mr. Fraser's chambers. There was an
appointment made that a meeting should take place at his
offices between Mr. Fraser and a Mr. Bennett, a professor of
music. They met and an agreement was come to that Mr.
Bennett should be paid down 1001., and receive 501. a-year,
for three years, on the consideration of his teaching Miss
Simmons music and singing. The 1001. was paid down,
I think it was paid by Mr. Fraser. Mr. Arnold was there
also. A note was given for the first instalment. When it
became due it was paid. The second instalment was not
paid. Mr. Fraser came to witness to have the agreement
cancelled, and he stated as his reason that the lady was in
the family way, and also that he was not in circumstances to
pay the money. I saw Miss Simmons after. She was in the
family way. She was at the house of a Mrs. Birch, in Henri-
' ett a-street.
Mr. Bennett was then called, and corroborated the last wit-
ness. After she was some time with me I perceived she was
in a state of pregnancy.
t Mr. Birch, examined by Mr. WORDSWORTH—I live at
' No. 12, Henrietta-street. A Miss Simmons came there on
' the Bth of June, 1841. She appeared to be in the family
L way. She was very large. She was there about a year and
a half.

Mary Anne Touse, examined by Mr. Cu.AmBERS—I lived
in 1841 at Exeter with my mother, who is a confectioner.
Mr. Fraser used to live there during sessions and assizes. He
had a sitting-room and a bed-room. A Miss Arnold used to
visit him. She came very often. He used to call her Eliza
and Miss Arnold. She used to come every day. She used
to lunch and dine with him every evening. She used to re-
main till ten or eleven o'clock. Thezeivas a sofa in the sitting
room. He used to come every sessions and assizes.
Cross-examined by Mr. MERGER—Before .1 came here, I
saw Mr. Shaw and a lady. The lady was respectably dressed.
Thomas Greatwood examined—l am a crier in the Queen's
Bench Prison. I was: formerly a messenger for prisoners.
I know Mr. Fraser. I knew him in the summer of 1839,
when in the Queen's Bench. He had two rooms. On one
occasion he gave me a letter to take to a Miss Edwards, of
Pimlico. He described her to me as a dark-looking person.
I went two days for her before I could find her. I saw her
at last, and gave her the letter. It was arranged
that she was to meet me outside the prison at
ten o'clock in the morning, and I was to take her in. She
came to her appointment, and I took her to Mr. Fraser. She
left in a cab about eight o'clock. She came again next day
about eleven o'clock, and left about nine. She came again
the third day. The prison is open for females till ten o'clock
during term time. It is closed earlier in vacation. Miss
Edwards used to come constantly. When Mr. Fraser left the
prison I went to him with some pickles I had for sale. I know
a person named Maria Serle. She waited on Mr. Fraser and
Miss Edwards.
Sarah Spicer examined—l live in Greenwich. I recollect
Maria Serle coming to my house with a lady and gentleman.
It was in 1839. They passed under the name of Mr. and Mrs.
Hunt. 1 afterwards heard the gentleman was called Fraser,
and the lady was called Edwards.
Mr. Broughton, the Police Magistrate, examined—l am re-
lated to Mrs. Fraser. I knew Mr. and Mrs. Fraser after their
marriage. We were on intimate terms, and lived near each
other in Melcombe-place. Mrs. Broughton was in the habit
of going to see Mrs. Fraser. They were not at all living hap-
pily together. Both parties made complaints. Constant
complaints were made by Mrs. Fraser. I saw Mr. Fraser on
one or two occasions on the subject of those complaints. I
told Mr. Fraser that Mrs. Fraser complained of general neg-
lect on his part, absence from home, and waste of money ; of
his returning home at late hours, and that it was the firm
conviction of Mrs. Fraser that he was spending his money
upon a Miss Arnold. Mr. Fraser said she worried him to death
with her jealousy, and often made his home uncomfortable.
He said it was his professional avocations which
made it necessary for him to be so much absent from home.
he denied having any criminal intercourse with Miss Ar-
nold, and on another occasion he most solemnly assured him
that he had never been alone in- a room with Miss Arnold.
I had many conversations with Mr. Fraser on the subject of
his pecuniary difficulties. He always said he would get over
them, and said that he was involved by other persons. I
met Mr. Bagley at Mr. Fraser's. After Mr. Fraser had left
his wife, he called upon me very frequently. He expressed
a wish to see his children on one occasion. Mrs. Fraser had
no objection that lie should see them.
[The trial was proceeding when we went to press.]
