though the name survives. I then remained. I did not know Mr. Bagley
until we had removed to Melcombe-place. He used
to visit frequently there when Mr. Fraser was et
home, and when he was not. On one occasion he came with
Mr. Fraser when Mr. Fraser was going to Exeter. He' de-
sired me to take care of my mistress while he was away, and
that Mr. Bagley was to sleep there. Mr. Bagley did not sleep
there. On one night he slept at the house when Mr. Fraser was
in town. It was a very snowy night. He slept on the sofa
in The drawing-room. Mr. k rater slept in the house that
night. I recollect when 'lsabella was born. Some time
before, Mr. Fraser and Mr. Bagley came home together,
about eleven o'clock in thc.morning. They went up to Mrs.
Fraser's bed-room. I saw them there. Mrs. Fraser
was dressed in a morning gown. She was sitting when
I saw her. The others were standing near her. I
do not know what passed. I heard Mr. Fraser,frequently
say that he asked Mr. Bagley to dinner. This was mostly in
1842, about winter time. Mr. Bagley had been often invited
to dinner when Mr. Fraser was not there to receive him.
There used to be a lady there frequently. I remember Mr.
Fraser going away, and not coming back again. This
was in 1842. Mrs. Fraser went to Brighton. I
saw Mr. Bagley at Brighton. I recollect on one
occasion that Mr. Bagley and Mrs. Fraser, and one of
the children, went out. 1 and the other servant went to
church. On our return home we found the street-door open,
and also the parlour door. Mr. Bagley and Mrs. Fraser were
in the parlour. Mr. Fraser returned to town, and went to
York-buildings, shortly after she was confined. Mr. Bagley
called after she was confined. Mrs. Fraser was in bed when
he called. He asked how Mrs. Fraser was ; I answered she
was going on very well, and asked him up to the drawing-
room. I went and told Mrs. Fraser that Mr. Bagley was
`come to inquire for her, and I asked her if she wished to see
him. She said she would be glad to see him. He went up
stairs; none of the children were there then. In a short time
I went up again with a message; some of the children were
in the room then. In a short time he came down, and said
that Mrs. Fraser was very nervous and feverish. Dr. Car-
lisle came to see her about four or five days after this ; he
came to see Mrs. Fraser, and remained a short time with her.
In 1843 we went to Ramsgate. Miss Watson was with us
during a part of the time we were there. Mrs. Fraser had
several friends there with whom she associated. I saw Mr.
Bagley there. He came to see us about four days before we
left Ramsgate. Mr. Bagley came up with us. Mr. and Miss
Elwis also came up. Mr. Bagley came to York-buildings ;
he remained for some time and left; he left Mrs. and Miss
Elwis there. Mrs._ Fraser appeared to be a fond and kind
mother. She was prudent and economical in her household
habits.
Cross-examined by Mr. TnESIGER.—Jessy Salter and Mary
Cameron were in the service of Mrs. Fraser part of the time
I was there. Mr. Bagley used to visit us frequently during
1841 and 1842. I did not know when Mr. Bagley was com-
ing, except when he was to dine there. Ido not recollect
being desired to get a chicken, or rabbit, or some other deli-
cacy, for Mr. Bagley. Ido not recollect making any obser-
vation to the servants, Salter and Cameron, with regard to
Mr. Bagley coming so often to the house. The solicitor for
the plaintiff called upon me at York-buildings. I did not
answer any questions to him. Mr. Shaw, the solicitor for
the defendant called upon me ; he was not with me four
hours; I don't think he was with me two hours. We went
to Brighton in July, 1842. Ido not know when Mrs. Fraser
and Mr. Bagley went out on the Sunday. Ido not recollect
that I prepared dinner for them. Ido not recollect whether
Mrs. Fraser desired me and Mary Cameron to go out. It
was about eight o'clock ; it was not quite dark. I will not
swear that it was not nearer ten than nine o'clock. We met
Jessy Salter on the Sunday. She made an observation to me
about their being all sent out. Mr. Bagley has_ light
hair; it is sandy; it is not so red as his whiskers.
the two last children have red hair. I do not recollect calling
Miss Isabella Miss Bagley. I do not recollect s_aying it in
the presence of Ann Kenrew. I never said that Mrs. Fraser
must take care of what she did, as Mr. Fraser was not there
now to have any more children fathered upon him. I might
have made a foolish remark with regard to Mr. Bagley's so
often visiting Mrs. Fraser alone.
- John Carlisle examined-4 am a physician. I became
acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Fraser at Munich. Mr. Fraser
used to go out at night. I heard Mrs. Fraser complain of it.
I saw them when I returned to this country. I went to them
to dine two or three times. I met Mr. Bagley once. About
May, 1842, I saw Mr. Fraser at Hampton Court, with some
ladies;. his wife was not one of them. I called at Mr. Bag-
ley's chambers to inquire about Mr. Fraser. In consequence
of what Mr. Bagley told me, I went to Mrs. Fraser's. It
was after her confinement. She inquired about her husband ;
I told her the last time I saw him was at Hampton Court, with
some ladies. I did not visit her a professional capacity.
John Bicker Caarteen, a barrister, examined—l know Mr.
Bagley. I occupy a part of his chambers. I recollect a
dinner party at his chambers in 1840. I was one of the
party. Mr. Fraser, Mrs. Fraser, and a young lady were
there. I did not know Mrs. Fraser before that time. They
remained till eleven. 'A Mr. Fitzjames came in to tea. 'We
saw the ladies into a coach. This was before Christmas,
1840. I never saw Mrs. Fraser at those chambers afterwards.
I recollect that the lock of one of the doors was out of order
in 1842. While in that state a persots might have come in.
The inner door was in consequence kept locked. Mr. Fraser's
chambers were on the ground-floor. To go to Mr. Bagley's
a person must pass Mr. Fraser's chambers.
Cross-examined by Mr. TREssoma--I was a good deal
in ray chambers. I used not to be there in the evening. Mr.
Bagley had the use of my room when I was absent. i did
not see any other ladies at Mr. Bagley's.
Mrs. Captain Rattray examined—l am sister of Mrs.
Fraser. I saw Mr. and Mrs. Fraser in December, 1841, in
Melcombe-place. I was there fifteen days. Mr. Fraser slept
out several nights during that time. When he came home
it used to be very late. On ode occasion I was going to pay
some visits, and Mrs. Fraser was about to accompany me.
On saying that Mr. -Fraser was to accompany them, she said
it was the first time they had walked out for many months.
Mr. Fraser laughed at this. I said it was no laughing matter,
and I told him that Mrs. Fraser charged him with living
with a person named Arnold. He denied that it was
the fact, and said it was the old story again. He desired me
to try and make Mrs. Fraser get rid of her jealousy.
He said that he had desired Mr. Bagley to persuade her to
get rid of herjealousy. He took Mr. Bagley into her room
for this purpose. Before that I told him it was exceedingly
improper, and that he was not justified in taking him into
Mrs. ISraser's bed-room. He said he was a very intimate
friend of his, and had brought up his family from BroadsteirQ
I said he would not allow any unmarried man to bring his
wife from Broadstairs, unless he had some motive in it, and
that it seemed as if lie wished to get rid of his wife and
family altogether. He said ho had a brief and could not
give h up. I said that Mr. Broughton as a married man
would be,a more proper person to get to bring his family
to him.

(Sittings at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice WIGUTM. AN and a
Common Jury.)
BUN. NPYrr V. BREEZE.

The Court was engaged up to the hour of our going to
press with this cause, which involved mere dry questions of
account, the validity or non-validity of a contract, and a dis-
puted liability ; but presenting no one feature of interest or
importance except to the parties concerned.

understood Lady Evans accompanied her. She remained with
me a few days. She then went to Mr. Broughton's. She
also went to Mr. White's. She appearpd very much dis-
tressed. She was careless in her dress. She. appeared to be
a very good wife: On ono occasion she showed me an old
shirt. It was marked "W. F." -
Cross-examined by Mr. lll73tritnEy---I understood the
shirt was Mr. Fraser's : I saw the letters as she Was putting
them into a basket.
Miss Margaret Farrah examined—l keep a boarding-
house in Dorset-square. I know Mrs. Fraser. I recollect
her coming to my house in the year 1842, from Brighton.
She caine on Monday the 15th of August, about 5 o'clock.

also. When there we' used to be all constantly together. I
do not recollect them walking out together.

Mr. KEux—l am the widow of Sir A. Doyle, and sister of
Mrs. Fraser. She appeared to he very proud of her -husband,
and attached -to him. She was was a very fond mother.
She was not at all particular as to her dress. Mr. Fraser
was a fine man.
Cross-examined by Mr. TursmEn—l do not consider my
sister to be of a very placid temper. I believe Mr. Fraser has
a good temper. I saw my sister about a week ago. I asked
her to tea. I got a snbpo-_,na to come here.
I George Dyke—l was formerly clerk to Mr. Fraser. I went
into his employ in January, 1840. Mr. Fraser and Mr.
Bagley were very much together, and seemed to be very.
intimate. I recollect a female of the name of Shu-
mons coming
.there about nine months after I came.
She came several times. She used sometimes toremain as late
as ten o'clock. Another female named Arnold used to come
there. I think it was in October, 1840. She used to come
at various times, and used to remain, sometimes a few minutes,
sometimes an hour or two. I left her behind me at the
chambers. The two females sometimes came together.
They used sometimes to meet there withent coming together-
They
had a quarrel at one time. Mr. Fraser was there and
I left the room. The father anti two brothers of Miss Arnolderaser.often came with her. They used to dine N
