Ceptain MO was extremely ill at the time, Aga went out foie
airings in the evenings ; Mr. Wellesley generally calle&
when .the Captain Was out, and remained there until a stunt
time previous to the return of Captain Bligh. Mrs. Bligh
slept in the second . floor, and the Captain uuder her- room
on the first. I observed the impression of a boot on sutis perial.
standing just under the window of Mrs. Bligh's bed-room ; the
shatters, were observed to he kept shut; I remember the month of
July, who Mrs. I3ligla quitted the house; itwae at tight o'clock
in the evening ; I did not see what was done, Mit .intkeenyobser-
vaiisn en the state ofthe window ; it was Mary Ann Milted. that did;
during the time of Captaiu Bligh and Mrs. Bligh's residence there,
he appeared very kind to her.
Examined by Mr. 1311011GIUDf—I cannot remetribti the precise
time of Mr. Wellesley'll visiting Capt. Bligh ; Mrs.. Bligh went
away on the 31st of July.
By the Lour) Cuter Jvarter--The mark on the imperial was
from the window; there was a mark on the wale Outside the
house ; the window was about 30 feet from the ground.
Mary Anne Mitten, examined by Mr. Jones-4 lived in the
service of Mr. Edward Bligh ; was abroad with the tetedly in
1 1823 ; I remember Captain and Mrs. Nigh arriving it
Naples : I retrieinbee Arr. Wellesley visiting at the bodes
1 do not know the titre Captain Bligh went out to take his air-
ings ; Mr. Wellesley used to come in tbe evening; there were hen
windows in the room of Mrs. bligh ; on the outside was it dltah ;
I have seen marks of a shoe or boot on an imperial standingin the
inside of the window; it was the heel of a lady or gentlimsee
boot, either one or the other—(laughter)—there was a pin put
into the shutter, on the morning following it was on the floor ;
Mrs. Bligh had a dog which she was very fond of; it slept
for several weeks in Mrs. Bligh's bed-room, but it was
afterwards ordered into the stables ; I was present when
Mrs. Bligh's maid-servant saw a night-dries in a drawer
which had been used, although it was not put out for Mrs.
Bligh. The kitchen adjoined Mrs. Bligh's bed-room; Mrs. B.
wished to have the door secured about the time the dog was
turned out ; Mrs. Bligh ordered the shutters of the room which
had been fastened to be left open.
Cross-examined by Mr. SCAILLICNTo.-1 lived with Mrs. Bligh
for four years ; Captain Bligh joined Mr. E. Bligh at Rome ;
:(I..aotititi and Mrs. Bligh did not live together then at Naples,
Captain Pligh's man-servant slept on the same floor as his
master ; ann. 34. E. Bligh's servant on the same floor as Mrs. B.
The houses are very iligh at Naples, and in July it is usual
to sleep with the windcytt open; the height betereen the
bottom of the window, and the box Was very little ; I saw a. mark
on the box of a boot with the heel tttreied towards the window; I
also saw the impression with the heel turned ,he other way, mikes
any person was very tall. they must get up oft 6., box, there wad
a chair by the side of the window ; Ido not live With Mrs. E.
Bligh at present, I left her service about a year ago ; Mr. Willa-
ley sometimes called in the morning as well as the evening; Mr.
and Mrs. Bligh, and Mr. Wellesley, went out to parties together ;
it is the practice at Naples to visit in the evening; I think it was
a fortnight after the arrival of Capt. Bligh at Naples that Mr.
Wellesley called on them ; Mrs. E. Bligh and Mrs. Bligh were on
the boat of terms.

By Mr. Jot4rs.—The Captain was iu the habit of when
he was at Naples ; it was a month after Mrs. Bligh came to
Naples, that the window was first left open ; there is a light dust
in the streets of Naples, much resembling the dust of the mark on
the Imperial.
Re..exonined by Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN... 4 have no reason
for the seconJ marriage, except from his own words, which were,
that he felt bound in honour to do so ; he told me that ha had
connexion with her bee the first marriage ; when I saw him
at Cheltenham, he static]. as us reason why he did sot bring his
wife with him from Camubray, tn.t his finances were limited. I
saw Mrs. Bligh at the Opera at Napics. with Mr. ,and Mrs. Wel-
lesley frequently after the elopement ; I als saw them on the road.

Mr. Edward Bligh, the brother of the pleintiff, was then
examined at great length, and stated that he visited his brother at
Naples, where Mrs. Bligh lived with him but slept in a different
apartment. They were very affectionate ; Mr. Wellesley visited
the family two days after their arrival at Naples; soon after that
Mrs. 13. became quarrelsome with her husband. Mrs. B. accom-
panied the party to Mount Vesuvius, and afterwards eloped from
her husband. Witness then described the subsequent conduct of
Mrs. Nigh, since her return from Paris and arrival in this country.
Mrs. Bligh was only 15 years old when his brother married her ;
his brother told him that he was compelled to marry her
a second time by Colonel Patterson, her father. He did
not state that she was a minor, and married without her father's
consent. Ile believed that hie brother hat! seduced her.
Croce-examined by Mr. SeAkLITT—I did not visit Mr. and
Mts. Wellesley after the elopeineut ; it was about six weeks af-
ter that. I saw them on the road ; it was not known that Mrs. B.
had lived with Mr. and Mrs. Wellesley after the elopement ; in
point of fact she did not live with them. Mr. Bligh sent a chal-
lenge to Mr. Wellesley about seven weeks after the elopement; I did
not send a challenge aftee• my brother bad received an answer;
I do not know that the challenge bad been sent two days after he
bad left Naples, it might be about six weeks after the elopement,
In consequence of my brother writing. to Mr. Walleelsy, the lat-
ter returned an answer, stating that he had no improper intare
course with Mrs. 8., and consequently my brother said ha had eta
grounds to go upon.
Re-examined by Sergeant VatIGHAT4.4III told Me that ke had
sent a challenge to Mr. 'Wellesley, saying, at the same time, that
he had not sufficient grounds to call him out.
Win. Richard Hamilton, examined by Mr. Jonas--I am
British Minister at the Court of Naples; I was acquainted with
Captain Wm. Bligh, whe was visited by my wife ; after Mrs. 13.
had left the Captain, I endeavoured to induce her to return ; she
told me she never would ; before I left the house, I told her
that if she wanted money, the should apply to no person
but me; she did not accept ow offer; I afterwards saw her
at the Opera with Mr. and Mrs. Bligh ; she applied to me to be
admitted to Court; the letts. now produced is my answer
to her application ; the letter being read, it expressed surprise at
her attempting to make such an application after her conduct to-
Wards her husband, and stated, that he could not admit any person
whom Mrs. Hamilton did not visit, and if after this, she should
attempt to come, be would give the servants orders uot to admit
her to the palace.
Cross-examined by Mr. Scaawr.-.-Wheu I applied to Mrs.
Bligh to return, she said she would not, as she hail been beaten
by him, and that she would never return ; she said that she had
written to her friends iu England, and would take no steps until
she should receive an answer.
