THE REV. MR. MONCKTON's CASE

DIOCESAN COURT OF INQUIRY—(THIS DAY).
This case was resumed this morning at the sitting of
the Court, when Sarah Huggins, Lady Galway, Lieu-
tenant Monckton, and Arthur Bennett were exa-
mined, and their depositions were taken with a view to
rebut the testimony of the different witnesses examined
fur the prosecution. The next witness called was
Mr. Oldershaw, Mr. Monckton's solicitor, who deposed
as follows:—Having answered a few preliminary ques•
tions, he continued by sa)ing he considered that the
conversation he had with Mr. Lake was private, and
should not have been taken advantage of by Mr.
Lake. Witness here produced a letter from Mr.
Menckton, denying the charges. Did not know of the
girl being confined at Gravesend until some time in
January, and first heard of it from Mr. Lake.
Re-examined—Heard Mr. Lake say he would not
believe Mr. Monckton's denial on his oath unless he dis-
charged his servant. Told witness he recommended Mr.
Monckton to go to the country, and the matter might
blow over, and that he would get somebody to do the
duty. Mr. Lake said to witness that if he were an un-
married man he might do the same. Witness
then distinctly offered Mr. Lake a declaration denying
the charges, both by Mr. Monckton and the servants.
Was authorised by Mr. Monckton to do this. Denied
this before the Bishop had been written to. Mr. Lake
was most violent in his language to witness. (Witness
here read a letter from Mr. Monckton, denying the
charges that he bad heard were rumoured about him and
his servants)
To the COURT—At the time witness had received that
letter, he was aware the girl had been confined; told Mr.
Monckton, as his professional adviser, that he had been
guilty of gross indiscretion, at least his conduct would
be open to such for taking the girl back.
Here the Court adjourned for a few minutes, and when
it resumed,
Sarah Huggins was recalled for cross-examination,
she having fainted when first brought into Court.—Sbe
deposed that Susan went to her mother's, and returned
after three days' absence, to the parsonage. This
was in summer. It was after Lady Galway left in June
that Sarah left. When she came back she was ill,
and came to be nursed, as she could not get proper
attendance at home. Has never left the parsonage
since. She is there as a servant. Will swear she
dues not know what wages her sister has. Ann
Day has 101. a-year. Has had quarrels with her
sister, but not in regard to Mr. Monckton. He has
been in witness's bed-room at day and night
when she was in bed ill. Had a peculiar illness
but once, cannot say when; but it never happened before
or since. Was not ill when Sarah Lovett was at the
parsonsge, but is not sure ; complained of pain to
Mr. blather-. Will swear that Mr. Monckton did
not bathe her ; went to live with him in October,
184 D. Will not swear she was a virgin then. (Here the
Counsel put other questions as to the conduct of the wit-
ness and her moral character, both before she went to
Mr. Moncktou's and while there ; but she declined to
answer them.) Shs then continued by saying that her
sister and Ann Day suspected she was in the family-way.
A few days after Mr. Mathew examined her she went
to Gravesend with her sister in a cab. Witness
did not see her off. Was at Gravesend
about ten weeks. Mr. Monckton came down about three
days after she was confined. One of the children died on
Saturday, and the other on Sunday. Does not recollect
that Mr. Monekton had tea upon the occasion of his visit;
asked him to take her back when she was well. He
said he would not promise. Said she would pay him
back the 'Loney he lent her when she should get
another place. The birth of the children was en-
tered in the register as Sarah and Susan, and
wituess as the wife of noggins, a mariner.
Mr. Monekton never broke open her door to her know-
ledge. Did not receive any wages for the time she wets
away. Jid not see Mr. Monckton sit at the table at the
dinner on Christmas-day. He stood and carved, but did not
see him eat. After dinner he sat in the drawing-room.
He went away about five o'clock. He returned about
supper time. Did not hear any singing that night.
Betty Biggs had a child about five years old, %hieh
she often brought to the parsonage ; she also
brought wine to Gravesend from Mr. Monckton.
Mrs. Williams used to sing indecent songs; cannot say
how many—whether thirty, or forty, or fifty, or sixty, or
seventy. The new-year's dinner was at one o'clock.
Anne Day was sent for the Williarnses. Mr.'Monckton
was in the kitchen when they came. He had dined
Lefore that, in the study, alone. Was never sent after
by Mr. Monekton, to go back. Never saw any impro-
priety between him and the other servants.
Re examined.—Mr. Monckton was not present when
Mrs: Williams sang indecent songs, nor did he know it.
His house is very large, and requires three servants
when there are visitors. Mr. Monckton had not the
slightest means of knowing that she had misconducted
herself with any other person.
Mr. Duke sworn.—ls a medical man. Cured Sarah
Huggins of erysipelas.
Anne Day sworn.—ls twenty-four years of age;
went as servant to Mr. Monckton in November,
1843 ; saw Fanny Froude there ; she was a girl
of unclean habits ; heard her frequently con-
tradict herself ; saw her very much intoxicated once.
Mr. Monckton carved on the Christmas-day, because
Mr. Williams could not do so, having lost a thumb. Mr.
Monckton was very cheerful that day, but not tipsy.
He did not attempt to throw down Mr. Williams. Never
saw Mr. Monckton attempt to take Mrs. Williams
on his knee. Witness never sat there, nor saw any of
the servants do so. Never heard him use indecent or
blasphemous language. Never heard him drink a
toast, " Here's to the waitress's health. Never
