and Mils Dixon, with tome country friends. There
was then fome converfation concerning what pat
fed on the night of the illumination. Mrs. Ling

my brother, and had fome beef and a cool tan.
kard. Mr. Lingham obferved, that they had
fared better than we had, for that we had been
obliged to put np with a paltry cook's (hop. Ido
not remember that Mr. Lingham took any further
notice. After this we went to Kenfington Gar-
dens, Mrs. Lingham and Mr. Hunt together.—
My brother and Mr. Lingham attended Mrs.
Lingham in the Gardens. On the tath of May I
remember Mrs. Lingham going out with my bro-
ther—l am (peaking of the 1 ath of May. It was
Saturday the 1 ft of May that I offered Mr. Ling-
ham the boric. It was Sunday, the td, that they
went out, and (he gave him the key. It was Sun-
day, the gth, when the convcrfation took place
about going to the tavern. I remember their re-
turning home on the 12th, before that Mr. Der
barn was with me at my brother's houfe. I went
with him to fence by his defire. I was [Landing at
a neighbour's d.,or, he took me by the coat, and

that he had fomething particular to commubinate.
I had a prior engagement which I 'pet ollf,
went with hint to fence. All he laid as he went
along was, •• Ito You know where Mrs. Lingham
is:" I Said la N0,.1 do not, I have not been home
this afternoon." Then we went to fence. Mr.
Lingham obferved ping along, he did not like
Mrs. Lingham being fo much at our houfe. Mr.
Lingtiam went with me from the fencing.fchool to
soy brother's houfe. I inquired of the fervent at
my brother's houfe where Mrs. Lingham was—l
learnt that the had been thert that gternetin but
had gone with Mr.. Hunt i riding 4n Ids chaiiea..
I ailed Mr. Lingham to walk up flair*, au& talm-
-a game of cribbage with me till they &mist .
turn. Some time after dark, between nine and
ten o'clock, they returned ; the chaife came to
Mr. Lingham's door ; I heard it flop, and Mr.
Lingham and rnyfelf went over. Mr. Lingham
helped Mrs. Lingham out of the chaife, at* ob-
(erred to my brother, that he (hould not Tuffer
him again to keep Mrs. Lingham out fo late, or
after dark. When we were at cribbage, I told
kiat I thought it was very improper for my bro-

!many other adulterers, he was not fatisfied with
tearing from his friend the wife of his boforn, buthe
