for Mra. Bligh and Mn. Scott ; the latter had extelleni
clothes, quite good enough for a person in her situation of
life.

Cross-examined by Mr. PLarr—l went to Mrs. Eligh's
to assist the servants generally; I sometimes made the
beds. When I continued so late at Mrs. Bligh's, my
father-in-law, who is a tailor, took care of my children.
I mostly sat in the kitchen, the door of which is under the
area steps. When I saw Mrs. Bligh return, I was going
out from my own house to work. The chariot stop-
ped at the corner of the street. Mrs. Bligh was
sometimes unaccompanied by Mr. Wellesley. I can
swear to, having seen her three times. Upon two
of these occasions Mr. Wellesley was with her. On the
night of the day that I first saw Mr. Wellesley, my son
wrote the memorandum, which I have now in my hand;
I remember the day, because a footman went away on that
particular day in my debt. I can't swear that the memo-
randum was written before November 1826. I did not
know Mr. Wellesley before that morning. I don't remem-
ber the hour that Mrs. Bligh went to the Court of
Chancery. I have now a piece of Norwich crape
which is the same with the brown gown of Mrs. Scott
that I saw Mrs. Bligh wear ; I have kept this piece ever
since Mrs. Scott gave it to me at Mrs. Bligh's ; the yellow
gown was of a sprig pattern ; the memorandum lam
convinced, made after I swore my affidavit in the Court
of Chancery ; I took the date from my washing-book ;
the gentleman with whom the footman lived is
now in France, and the footman himself is in prison ;
I cannot positively say that the memorandum has not been
in the hands of the plaintiff's attorney, nor can I tell why
I made it ; my son, by whom it was written, was eleven
years old last December ; I am not now certain that he
wrote it in my presence, and as I can't read it is impossi-
ble for me to say that it is in his hand-writing ; I can't
suppose at all about it--(a laugh)—all I know is,
that it is the paper which my son gave me. The
memorandum was kept among my other papers in a
drawer without a lock. The witness then produced several
papers, which were letters from the plaintiff's attorney re-
specting her attendanee at the present trial. The memo-
randum was also handed in, and had all the appearance of
being written by a person much older than a boy of eleven
years of age.

Re-examined by Mr. Sergeant Cross.-4 saw Mr.
Wellesley here this morning, and he had his hair dressed
like a wig.—(A laugh.)
(During the examination of this witness, the witnesses
on the other side were ordered to withdraw.)
Mr. Hutchinson, the plaintiff's attorney, primed that the
memorandum was made by him, without any reference to
the present cause. It was taken when the witness first
came to his office.

Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant WILDE... 4 do not
know that Scott ever went by the name of Johnson. Mrs.
Scott is, I believe, in Paris. Bergeret is, I think, also
there. She lives in the Boulevard Italien.
Frances Jane.---I was in the service of Mrs. Bligh for a
month ; I went there on the 13th of February.; I slept tip
stairs with Mrs. Scott; Bergeret's room was adjoining
ours, and I certainly never saw him take any improper
liberties with her. I left the service because
thought no lady would go to Mrs. Bligh for a character.
I Benjamin Smith—l am a watchman, and was in York-
street in September, 1826 ; I was there for 17 months ; I
remember seeing a female coming home frequently from
one until half-past three in the morning, to No. 50, in that
street ; she always came on foot ; I saw her yesterday; she
is Mrs. Bligh; and, though her dress was different, I think
I can swear to her identity from my recollection of her fea-
tures; I have seen her wear a greyish muff and a black lace
veil ; it is a hard thing for a watchman to look a lady or a
gentleman in the face; hat from the view I had yesterday
of her, in the witness-box, I have no doubt that she was
Mrs. Bligh ; nobody told ow her name yesterday ; I told
it to myself.—(A laugh. )_..1 heard her name when I was
examined at Lincoln's Inn.
Thomas King examined by Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS....
2I am also a watchman ; No. 50, York-street, is within
00 yards of my beat ; I have seen a coach drive up to
y box, and a lady come from the coach and go into that
house ; I saw that lady go in there at various times in the
morning ; I saw her here yesterday, and knew her at once
to he Mrs. Bligh ; I remember seeing her upon one occa-
sion, when a coachman came to roe about not getting his
fare; she usually wore a grey-coloured muff, such as the
one now shown to me, and always a veil.
Cross-examined by Mr. -ROUGUAM.--I did not see her
return every morning, and if any person swore that I did
see her, that person would have sworn falsely. I first saw
her in April, and she left York-street in July. The
'tor; that I have told to-day, is the 'same that I have
always told. When I made my affidavit in Lincoln's-inn-
ruad,„ I believe that it was read over to me.
The affidavit of the witness was then produced and
read. In this he distinctly swore, that " almost every morning," from April until July, he saw a lady, whom
he since learned to be Mrs. Bligh, come home to her house,
in York-street, usually accompanied by Mr. Wellesley.
The witness knew the name, from hearing a servant man
upon one occasion mention it.
Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET.—This is the plaintiff's case.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE expressed a wish that Maria
Evans and MIS. Stowe should be recalled, in order to
disprove the allegation that Mrs. Bligh had worn Mrs.
Scott's clothes.

Maria Evans was accordingly called, and said that Mrs.
Bligh had, upon one occasion only, worn any of her clothes;
she then saw her wear a shawl belonging to Mrs. Scott.
The witness positively swore that she never knew Mrs.
Bligh to remain out after twelve o'clock.
Mr. Long Wellesley examined by Mr. Sergeant WILDE.
—From the month of February till June, last year, Mrs.
Bligh lived in York-street ; I never in my life was in her
house there ; I never attended her home to her house dur-
ing the interval between these two months at midnight ; I
never handed her from a coach in York-street, or in any
of the neighbouring streets during the same period after
midnight—but if Gloucester-place he considered as in that
neighbourhood, I may have been with her there in the
evening.
Mr. Sergeant Wunx—Did you on any occasion, daring
the months of May or June, last year, in Crawford-street,
or York-street, hand Mrs. ] nigh from a carriage, after
midnight ?
Mr. Wellesley—(after a pause)—l have no recollection
of any such occurrence, but in the evening I may have
handed her from her coach.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE—But do you recollect it ever hap-
pened after midnight?
Mr. Wellesley.—I must be very cautious before I answer
that question, as lam not very regular in my hours at
hight--(After a pause. )—lt may have happened in the
evening, but to the best of my recollection not at a late
hour.

Mr. Sergeant WILDE.—You will understand my ques-
tion as only referring to the months of May and Jnne,
while Mrs. Bligh lived at No. 50, York-street.
Mr. Wellesley paused for a short time.
The Cum, Jusricit.—Mr Wellesley, you must excuse
me, but I feel it my duty to caution you to be very care-
ful how you answer this question, as there are three wit-
nesses against you.
Mr. Sergeant WILDX..--I ask you again, Mr. Wellesley,
whether you remember having, in the months of April,
May, or June, conducted Mrs. Bligh home to York-street
after midnight ?
Mr. We11e51ey.......j believe I have answered that ques-
ftioord-street in already. Ido not recollect just now where Craw-
but--- I do not recollect having conducted her
to York-street.
Mr. Sergeant Witna--But do you remember conduct-
midnight, or at two or three o'clock in
ing her home after
the morning ?

Mr. Wellesley—No, never; .

11r. Sergeant WiLDE—Did you ever

in Mrs. Scott's clothes ?
Mr. Wellesley—(in a somewhat COMposed
tone
r)
not answer that question positively ; 1 ca
whose clothes Mrs. Bligh may have worn.
Mr. Sergeant CROSS—Mr. Wellesley, you must answer
the questions directly as they are put.
Mr. Sergeant Wm:z—Did you ever meet Mrs. Bligh
when she was dressed otherwise than in her accustomed

manner ?
Mr. 'Wellesley—l never saw her otherwise than in her
ordinary clothes; she never in her life met me in any dis-
guise whatever.
The Cum Jusiricx—l must again remind you,. Mr.
Wellesley, to be very cautious what you say.
Mr. Wellesley—l thank your Lordship, I have reflected
upon the matter, and I speak after consideration ; I again
repeat, that Mrs. Bligh never met me in any disguise.—
(Mr. W. gave this answer in a most emphatic tone, and
struck his hand against the witness-box.) '
Mr. Sergeant WILE-Had she the mnff now before
You (pointing to it) on any occasion ?
Mr. Wellesley—She had it on one occasion only, when
she had some papers with her ; I marked the circumstance,
pause she did not use to have it.

,l‘Ir• Sergeant WILDE was then going to examine Mr.
"ellealey about certain affidavits made in Chancery, but
e!ra rSergeant BOSANQUET objecting, he did not insist,
and Alr. Wellesley then withdrew.
