after the occurrence. I did not tell Mrs. Collett, as she
was in too much trouble about her husband's bankruptcy.
She allowed him to sleep in the house.
By the JUDGE—Not with the servants?—(Laughter.)
Witness—No. .

George Strudwick examined, said—l shall be twenty-
two on the Ist of next January. I have known Ann
Sherlock seven or eight years. lam a carpenter, and
was employed by Mrs. Collett. I slept with Ann Sher-
lock once—(Laughter)—that was the occassion referred
to when I wai du-covered in bed. Alice Morgan slept
with us in the same bed.—(Continued laughter). I have
since seen her with prostitutes; she smoked, and I hare
seen her drink. She was a person of immodest conduct.
I never had connexion %Jill her on any other occasion.
I know 'a men named Woodhouse. I have htard her
challenge him to sleep ith her.
Cross-, xamincd—l don't know what has become of
Alice Morgan. My father was a master carpenter, at
Barnes, I was never apprenticed to the business. I
cleaned boots aed the knives, papered a room, and have
goes of mends, when the man-servant. was away: I
declare I was not engaged as shoeblack. After I Lett Mr.
Collett I went to a gentleman named Gayton, at Priest-
bridge, and looked after his horse and ‘• shay." I
have since been occasionally employed as a butcher
at Barnes. I then went to t, situation at Walhatn-
green, to look after a horse and shay, and drive the lady
out.—(Laughter.) The lady's name was Lawton. I
next got employment as,a gardener to a surgeon.—
(Laughter.) I have hada drop of drink with the de-
fendant. I went to a "free and easy society" with him
on Wednesday night last. A woman took the chair.—
(Laughter.) The defendant and I smoke and drank like
the rest. • _ _ _

The JUDGE—How came you to go to the bedroom?
Witness—They had both challenged me that I might,
sleep with them, and they came to my bed •room when I
was undressing, and asked me to go into their room.
They waited until I was undressed, and I then laud,
" Go on, then, and Pll follow you: as I mean to sleep
with you.toynight."—(Laughter.) They went out, and
I proceeded,to their bed-room.
The JUDGE—Did you have connexion with them
both? Witness—Not with Sherlock.

The JUDGE—Did Sherlock invite you to go. to bed
with her ? Witness—Yes, and I might have' had con-
nexion :with her if we had not been disturbed in the
morning.—(Laughter.)
The JUDGE—Is she a good looking girl ? Witness—
Yes. Alice Morgan is 28 years old.
Edward Woodis examined—l am a friend of the last
wimeis. He told me of his conneiion with Alice Hor-
gan. Ann Sherlock also told me of their sleeping toge-
ther, and said I might sleep:with her if I liked. This
was in March 1848. I became acquainted with the plain-
tiff through living in the same neighbourhood. I was
charged before a magistrate for taking walnuts from a
tree, but was dismissed. lam a carpenter, and earn 4s.
a day.
By the jIIDGE—I declined to. avail myself of Ann
Sherlock's offer.

Wm. Smith, a plumber, residing at Mortlake, said, I
know Ann Sherlock ands woman who went by the name
of Edwards. She lived at Priest-bridge. Ann Sher-
lock lived as servant there. I went to the house, and slept
with Mrs. Edwards. I went to another bed-room in the
morning and found the defendant sleeping with Sherlock.
lam also acquainted with the defendant. I was not at
the Hen and Chickens, as it is called. on Wednesday
evening. I do not consider the plaintiff a modest wo-
man. I and a person named Challoner met her and
another girl on Wandsworth-common. They accom-
panied tts to a public-house, where they drank freely,
and Sherlock allowed us both to take indecent liberties
with her.

Cross-examined—l saw the plaintiff for the first time
at the Bull at Mortlake. ' Mr. Challoner is a gentleman
residing at Richmond. I won't swear that I told the
defendant of the occurrence at the public-house. lam
27 years old.
William Bowen Challoner, also a young Mil* deposed
to his going to the public-house in company with the
last witness. ' After the plaintiff had sworn the child to
the defendant, I said to her, "I thought you were too
artful, Nance, to have a child." She said, "Itis a pity
you were not the father of the child, as you have just had
5001. a year left you." This was at the :police-office; I
nursed the child fir a few minutes and then left.—
(Laughter.) I have seen her frequently in the o -mpany
of bad girls and gentlemen at a public-house at Putney.
• Cross-examined—l have not quite 5001. a-year. I
have known the defendant three or four years; he was
in the same rowing club with me. He is quite a lad now.
Frederick Chapman said—l know Mr. Edwards, but
Mrs. Edwards is not bis wife; she was his kept-woman.
I also had a kept-woman at the same house at Priest-
bridge, where Sherlock wai servant. I am a solicitor.
Mrs. Edwards was a woman of the town; her real name
was Ashwen.

Henry Brown—l live at Mortlake and knew the plain-

tiff. I once made an arrangement to take her to Cre-
morne, and then to sleep with her at Mrs. Edwards's.
She did riot go with me, as Mrs. Edwards was at home,
and she could not get out. She was an immodest girl.
I have seen her frequently is the company of girls of the
town. One of her companions is now in the penitentiary.

Cross-examined—l 'went to school with the defendant
and know him well. I went last Wednesday to the club
in the Strand where a lady takes the chair. I don't
'know that it is called the " Cock and Hen Club."

Cbarles Phillip, brother of the first witness. said he
remembered two years ago Anne Sherlock telling
him (she had been behind the sceuces at the London
Theatre, and had enjo}ed a good lark. I always con-
sidered her to be a girl of very bad character.
This closed the defendant's case.
Mr. sergeant ALLEN was then about to address the

jury in reply, when
The Learned JUDGE said, as he had to attend Cham-
bers, he would be compelled to adjourn the case until
Monday. •
The Foreman intimated .that the jury were quite
unanimous as to their verdict.

The Learned JUDGE.—I do not see how the plaintiff
can hope to go on against the mass of evidence which
has been given. It the de'endant's case bad rested en-
tirely on the evidence of one or two witnesses, there,
perhaps, might have been some doubt on the subject ;
but when so many persons, several of whom seem to be
worthy of credence, corroborate the statements of each
other, I think the Learned Counsel may see:the propriety
of stopping at this stage of the can but he is at libetty
to adopt what course he likes.
Mr. Sergeant ALLEN—Then I will consent to the
verdict bring given at once.
The jury engaged in consideration for about ten
minutes, but were interrupted by
Mr. Sergeant ALLEN, who said as they appeared still
to entertain some doubt on the case, he would claim his
right to reply.
'The case was then adjournAd until Monday.
