I resided' with my father in 1838 and 1839. I knew the
prisoner Dorey ns Georgian!) Richards. I recollect her
tilting lodgings at my father's in 1838. Her mother
and two nieces lodged with her. They came, I think, in
1838, and remained about two 3 ears, -until 1840. I have
often seen the old lady. She was old and infirm,
and used when she went out eto carry an urn-
• She -always wore a.t dark gown. The.
old lady left. three or four months before the others.
I no recollection as to the date. I understood that
the odd lady was gone to Camberwell for the benefit of
• her health. I. heard that froni the niece, anti not from
Mrs. Dorey. lam not positive that the old lady ever
returoetl. I appear to ,have a recollection of the Prisoner
Barber as having called there on several occasions. I
think I have let him in once or twice. 'Whenever I let
east- perst'ns in, they asked for Miss *Richards.

'erber, without knowing any of their names. When

Griffin. I might have suid I meant the tallest. I e i.. 1

April; 1841, with a Mrs. Elliott, as charwomen, at 24,

gout in her hand. She used • always to wear
black. I saw her once in a cotton dress.
_After her death Mrs. Dorey gave me a gown of her
