Fund, and that it was very HO° use to look after it. I
told him-I thought Stewart bad no rslations.
Cross-examined by Mr. WILKINS—I cannot tell how
long it was after the first one cline before the second
came. It might have bean one month—it might have
been five. I cannot tell.
James M`Lean—l live at Great Marlow, and have ,
done so for seven years. In 1840 I saw a person who
came with Hyatt to inquire about Stuart. About a fort-
night or three weeks another came to me to inquire.
He was brought by H. Hyatt. I should net know
either of them. I knew John Stewart in his life- ,
time while he was in the service of Mr. Strode. I
have never heard Stuart say where he came from.
I told the first person that came down that I never heard
of any relations of Stewart whatever. Nothing passed
about what countryman he was. I said nothing more,
for I knew nothing more. Stewart was a close man.
On the second occasion I said no more.
Cross examined by Mr. WILKINS—I cannot under-
take to say how long it was before I saw the second
person after the first came. Ido not think it was so
long as a month.
Robert Loosly—l have lived at Great Marlow some
years. I knew John Stewart. In 1840, Hyatt brought
a gentleman to make inquiries about Stewart. I should
not know the gentleman again. He asked me about
Stewart. I told the gentleman that Stewart had
told me he came from Scotland. I told him
I had beard Stewart say he had a brother, and
I said the same and nothing further. About
a fortnight after, Hyatt brought another gentle-
man to me, who made the same inquiries, and I gave
him the same answers. I should not know either of the
gentlemen.
Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—Stewart was a
close person. It is four years ago since I had the con-
versation, and I cannot say distinctly what took place.
I will not swear to it, it is so long ago.
Mr. Baron GURNEY—What will you not swear? Will
you not swear you told them that Stewart came from
Scotland? Witness— Oh, yes; I recollect telling them
that.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wiemets—l am 70 years of
age. I have been questioned about this by Mr. Weir,
Mr. Freshfield's clerk. I think it was three weeks after
the one gentleman left that Hill came, but it is so long
ago I cannot recollect. I will not swear that one did
not come in spring and the other in autumn.
Sarah Hawkes—l am in the service of Mr. Lock,
5, Tavistock-street, Bedford-square. In 1837 I
was lodging at 35, Berwick-street, Soho. I lodged
with a person named Richards. The prisoner,
Mrs. Dorey, was living with her. She was at that
time Miss Richards. I lived in the same apart-
ments with Mrs. Richards and her daughter for a year
and a half. I have seen Saunders and his wife once.
Mrs. Saunders was the sister to Mrs. Dorey. After that I
went to reside at 16, Little Guildford-street, Russell-
square. I Staid there a twelvemonth. I then went to
24, in the same street. I was then an embroideress.
While living there the prisoner Dorey called on me.
She-told me she was livin at Mr. Wybrow's, a music-
seller, in Rathbone-place. The house was called the
Temple of Apollo. She said, " I have called to ask a
favour; it is to know if you will allow some letters to be
left to your address under the name of Mr. Jones ?" I
said, " Yes." She said, " Don't you remember me and
my mother speaking of some property that was coming
to us ? She said Jones was the lawyer. One letter
came, which I took to Mr. Wybrow's, at the Temple of
Apollo, and left at the shop. I told Mr. Wybrow to
give it to Miss Richards. I received a note some time
afterwards, roughly folded up, with the same address.
I took, that to Wybrow's. I did not see her for two
years after that.
Cross-examined by Mr. JAMES—Did not know Miss
Richards until I went to live with her in January,
1837. She had a counter at the Pantheon. I under-
stood that she supported her mother. Her mother was
living with her at Wybrow's. I never opened any letter,
or saw any opened. The mother had told me that she
had lost a deal of property abroad, for her husband had
died at Lisbon. She said he had been a merchant. She
seemed to be a respectable woman.
By the COURT—When I saw her at the end of two
years, she was in deep mourning. She said she was in
mourning for her mother.
Emma Hartwell.—l am the wife of John Hartwell, 2,
Mead's-row, Westminster-road. In the year 1840 I was
a servant with Mr. Bradley, a grocer, 1, Southampton-
terrace, Camberwell. I went there in 1840. I re-
member the prisoner Fle•chcr coming to look at some
apartments in the year 1840. They were on the first and
second floor, and he said they would do for the lea), he
had taken them fr. It was in the beginning of spring.
Soon after Mr. Fletcher came with Mrs. Fletcher, and
brought an old lady with them. They stayed an hour
or so, and then Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher went away, and
the lady remained. She was there some months.
She was old and feeble ; she was rather tall
and thin, pale, and had very weak eyes. She bad
the gout in her arm and hand occasionally. She did not
go out a great deal. She generally walked with an
I umbrella to support her. She generally wore a half
mourning ;own. Occasionally she wore a black
' silk gown. She wore a dark shawl with a mix-
ture in it of all colours. I saw Mr. Fletcher sometimes
twice and three times a day while she was there. He
used to come sometimes between four and five in the after-
noon, and sometimes between ten and eleven in the
morning. I knew he lived near, but did not know
exactly where. Mrs. Fletcher used to come, but not
often, and Miss Fletcher came once. Letters used to
come to the old lady, addressed to Miss Stewart. The
Fletchers never mentioned her name. They used to call
her the old lady. I have taken the letters. She took
them, and kept them. I know the prisoner Georgians
Dorey, and have seen her come to visit the old
lady occasionally. They sometimes went out together.
The gown produced (by Forrester) is the pattern of the
one worn by the old lady, but the pattern is washed out
very much. I saw the gown at the Mansion-house, aryl
recognised it. It was brought to me first. Mr. Fletcher
came occasionally to tea with the old lady. Mrs.
Fletcher came once. Georgiana Dorey was gene-
rally accompanied by Mr. Fletcher. I did not
know when she came that there was any con-
nexion between her and the old lady. I do
not know that she visited any one but the Fletchers.
She made no acquaintances in the neighbourhood, and
no one came near her except the Fletchers and Mrs.
Dorey. She was sometimes absent some hours. She
generally paid her lodgings herself. I cannot fix the

time that she went away.
William Wybrow-1. live in Rathbone-place. Where
I formerly lived, in the same place, was called the
Temple of Apollo. I know the prisoner Mrs. Dorey.
She called to see some lodgings at my house in 1838.
One of my daughters had given her lessons on the guitar.
She took the lodging at the time she had the stand
in the Pantheon. Her mother and two nieces came with
her, and they continued to lodge at my house until the
summer of 1840. Mrs. Richards appeared to be about
75 years of age. She was rather tall and thin ; very
infirm and pale ; she had weak eves. She walked
feebly, and used an umbrella to assist her as a walking
stick. She wore's, "dark cloak. In 1840 Mrs. Richards
left the apartments. It was in the summer. Miss
Richards, the neice, continued with in She said her
mother was going to Camberwell for the benefit of her
health. I heard her say once or twice that she was go-
ing to Camberwell to see her mother. I am
not sure whether Mri. Richards ever came back.
I think she did. Miss Richards and the nie,,es, then
Misses Saunders, leftine in Nov. 1840. I did not know
of Miss Richards where she was going to. Ido not re-
member any letter being brought.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wimutis—There was a pri-
vate door. The person who occupied the lodgings gene-
rally answered it. Sometimes one of my daughters an-
swered it. I cannot say that I have seen Mr. Barber
there. I saw a man named Griffin at the Mansion-

house. My son said he thought he had seen one of the
parties come to the house. My son did not point out
Griffin. I said that I thought I had seen Griffin there.
Cross-examined by Mr. GUEAVES—I can distinctly
swear that Mrs. Richards was in my house in the early
part of the year 1840.
Sydney Hampden Wybrow.—l am the son of the last
witness, and at present I am a clerk in the Post-office.
I resided with my father in 1838 and 1839. I knew the
prisoner Dorey as Georgiana Richards. I recollect her
taking 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 years, until 1840. I have
often seen the old lady. She was old and infirm,
and used when she went out to carry an um-
brella. She always wore a dark gown. The
old lady left three or four months before the others.
I have no recollection as to the date. I understood that

the old lady was gone to Camberwell for the benefit of
her health. I heard that from the niece, and not from
Mrs. Dorey. lam not positive that the old lady ever
returned. 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
any persons in, they asked for Miss Richards.
Cross-examined by Mr. WILKINS—I have been in the
Post-office four years. lam22or 23 years of ar;e. I
remember at the -Mansion-house standing lat th bottom
of the stairs to see the prisoners 0.0 by. did not
point out Griffin to my father. I° did not point out
any one to him. He asked me if I knew
any of them, and I said I believed 1- knew
the tall one. I think my father believed I meant
Griffin. I saw the prisoners at the bar, and pointed out
Barber, without knowing any of their names. When
my father came out, he said, I thought you meant
Griffin. I might have said I meant the tallest. I will
not undertake to swear that Barber was ever in Rath-
bone-place. I speak of my belief.
Mrs. Dixon—l am the wife of Seth Dixon, and live in
Crown-court, Dean-street. I was engaged on the 10th
April, 1841, with a Mrs. Elliott, as charwomen, at 24,
Dean-street. I have been E
in the habit of acting there in
that eapacity ever since. When I first went there the
prisoner Dorey and her mothert were lodging there. A
niece was living with a Miss Saunders.
Mrs. Dorey said they had onlyeni—
come mr. th before I
came. I assisted as charwoman to them am The old
lady died in that house in the latter end aof8:1-84un2.e the
same year. Mrs. Dorey left at Christmas,
assisted an hour or so now and then before the old ladyalt-
mlir
death. I assisted the prisoner more frequently
She used to go out of town after her mother's death, she
said to Bristol. She went away three times, and stayed
a month or six weeks. She used to visit at Camberwell.
She told me she visited a physician of the name of
Fletcher there. I saw the prisoner Fletcher at 24,
Dean-street. I answered the door to him. I knew
William Saunders and his wife. They occasionally came
there. Mrs. Saunders once came on a visit for a month.
Saunders came while the old lady lay dead in the house.
Fletcher asked for Miss Richards when he came. She
was not at home, and he left a message for her and her
niece to come and dine with him next day. The old
lady appeared about seventy-three or seventy-four years
old, and rather infirm. She was subject to the
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
