artyill;ng, and he had tiu':e given her up ; ,he had •
served him like Miss —." A week after, he ea: led
me into hit shop, entreated me to procure a lock of
hair as a remembrance, and he would never mention
the matter again.. He went on his knees, and cry log,
said he would never mention it again. I told my
mistress of this, and she sent him the lock of hair
without any message. I begged het to have him,
but she said she would not; he had not performed
his promises.
By Mt. Justice PARK.-4 gave my mistress, after
the discovery, a lock of Mr. Smiths hair; she re.
ceived it at first with satisfaction, but afterwards
burned it. My mistress told me, when he first called,
that she had seen him once at the shop. The locks
of hair had not been exchanged before the discovers,
though they were alluded to in the letter. Though
she had proposed to meet him at the ball, she was in-
dignant at his coming to the house ; for she was Y 3
delicate that she would only be introduced to a man
• s
at a public place.
John Green, a lad in the service of Mr. Corsveli,
and wearing his livery, was then examined by :Nit.
CROSS.—He said, I went into Mr. Coxwell's service
at Michaelmas last. I recollect Mr. Smith's once
coming to my master's ; that was his last visit. I was
present at the end of it. Miss coxwelt's mother and
two brothers went in ;I followed them ; I heard Mt-s
Coxwell talking, but I did not hear what she said.
The brothers were speaking loud, for they wete an-
gry. Ido not recollect what they said, nor her an-
swer. I went into the kitchen; Smith was gone;
They were talking about Smith; I did not hear villa:.
they said.—The witness was then earnestly admonished
to consider his oath, and the situation in which he
stood, and the examination proceeded : i
I don't know what I might say to Mr. Smith. I
did tell Mr. Smith what passed the nett-day. I told
him truly what passed I have forgotten it now, it
is so long ago. I heard the brothers abusing Mr..
Smith, but I did not hear Miss Coxwell's answer.
Mr. Justice PARK again solemnly admonished the
witness to beware how he persisted in this course; it
was quite impossible he should now have utterly for-
gotten
what he then told. The examination ptoceeded:
I don't recollect whether I have had any conversa-
tion on the subject of my evidence. I have talked
with Mr. Gwinnett, the attorney for the defendant.
I told Mr: Gwinnett what passed; I remembered k
then, and he wrote it down. I have been subpcehaed
for the defendant. I told Mr. Gwinnett all that
passed, but Air: Smith only part. Ido not now re-
member what • I told Mr. Gwinnett. I have talked,
with my master on the subject of my evidenCe.
Cross-examined by Mr. Casteast.t..—My master
never told me to say what was untrue. What I told
Mr. Gwinnett was respecting a conversation between
Mr. Sn;tith and. me about Christmas. I went there
to buiisinglass. Mr. Smith-then said to me, " What
hide young ladies the Miss Coxwells were, and if he
had £20,000 he would throw it at the feet of the
youngest."
Mr. Justice PARK asked the age of the witness.
The witness replied that he was seventeen.
Mr. Justice PARK then addressed him, and told
him that he was now persuaded he could remember
what he had told Mr. Smith, and if he persisted iu
swearing that he could not, he would send bins to
jail. The lad, however, continued to declare his in-
ability to remember a word. • •
.Mr. Justice PARK then said—This is gross pretwi-
cation: really this is the most distressing casewhichl
have tried for years. Let him stand cortunitted. ''

respecting the anger of her family. I expressed my
disapprobation of what had occurred. She nevertold

tremely sorry; but be had no option.
