3 CSANN Alf GLOSSOP, the mother of Lady Berkeley,
Examined.
After the birth of the child, how long did you con-
tinue to live with your daughter ?—I CA Imo' justly
say how any months now.
WheilPid you go afterwards ?—I went down into
LincolaShire ; I had a mother alive then ; I had
-not seen her some years, and I wished to- see her, and
my Lard and Lady were sadly vexed that' wentaway.
Did you ever return to their house ? Never no
MOM .
Did your daughter ever see you afterwards ?-No.
~
I When was the first time after that, that you first
saw Lady Berkeley ?—I never saw her since, till I
came to town now upon this account ; but I used to
hear of her ; she used to send me presents.
Before you went to live with your daughter in
Park-lane, hAd you any explanation on the subject of
her being married to Lord Berkeley ?—Yes.
What did Lady Berkeley sty to you at that time ?
She came to me on a Saturday and said, "Mother,
,:
,I!" will you come and be with me while I lie in " " Ns,
says I, my dear, I shall not." " Why, what is your
reason r " Because, says I, I think you are not
married, and that is the reason I will not go to be
with you to encourage vice ; I cannot look upon you
as my daughter if you are not lawfully married."—
She came up to me, and burst out crying, and said
• " Mother, tomorrow is Sunday, and you and I wil:
go to Sacrament together ; and if you will go witl
me, I will take the Sacrament ;" but she first saic
she wax married. 46 lam married, (said she) bui
it is a secret;" and then she said, " Mother, to satish
you, we will go together to-morrow morning and tab
the Sacrament, I will go with you, and then I hop
you will think that I cannot do such a thing as tha
without I am a good woman ; I would not do it le
ail the world." " Very well (says I) then, my dear
I will attend on you ;" and we both cried, and the:
we went to the Sacrament ; and when she came mil
she came to me and took me in her arms, and sah
S. Mother, do you think I could have done this as
have done, if I was not an honest Nyman ?" "Ni
(says I) I think and hope you, ,%0111.1 not." " Vet
well, then ; now (says she) 'I hope you will be cor
tent, and,come and be with me ; I have satisfied yo
as far as I can."
Admiral PRZSCOTT Examined.
Witness had been intimate with the late Lord Be
keley for a great number of years.
When did you first see Miss Tudor ?—I saw Mi
Tudor, for the first time,,in the month of Octobe
1785 ; I suppose it might be about the latter end
October, 1781.
How was she treated by Lord Berkeley at th
time. as Lady Berkeley, or as Miss Tudor ?—Nev
as Lady Berkeley, not as it appeared to me.
When did you first heartier called Lady Berkele
I do not think that' I heard:of her being Lady Berl
ley till the year probably before this business s
before this House.
That would he in the year 1797, or 1798 ; the t
sines was before this House in 1799. I suppose
might be iu 1798 ,• It was from a particular circu
stance that I recollect it must be about that time.
What was the circumstance which induced got,
recollect that it was about that time that you fi
heard of her being Lady Berkeley ?—lt was this
I was met in St. James's-street, by the late Sir G,
trey Webster, and two or three other Gentlemen I
not recollect ; Sir Godfrey met me, and asked 1
0, whether it was true that Lord Berkeley was mars
, to Miss Tudor ? this must have been, I suppose,
the year 1791. I answered him, that I knew noth
N of the matter. He said, it was extraordinary tha
should not ; who could know it if I did not? I i
him, upon my word, I did not know any thing at
about the matter. I went home ; that very day,
perhaps, by the next post, wrote a letter to Miss '
dor, to tell her the circumstance that had happe
to me, and to request that she would furnish me t
an answer upon suScccasion. I received, in ret
a letter from her, finishing in this way :-‘6 To tl
who make inquiry after me, you may say, that 1
itincere and affectionate friend has, for a long i
past, been Maria Berkeley."
Is that letter in existence ?—No, it Is not, nor
letter of that date. I never keep any letters. I n
dreamt of this situation, nor did I think I should
live Lord Berkeley.
Did you ever hear Lord Berkeley, 'mfore the
1799, say any thing about his children, as legitit
or illegitimate ; whether his children were beg(
In wedlock or not ?—No, he never spoke to rn
the most distant manner about it. I never ounce
they were. He bleier spoke to me of it till the 1
tress was before this House ; it was last then tl
knew that Lord Dorsky had been introdbeed ti
Is Lord Dursley. I believe it must have been a
the period I mention ; perhaps the beginnin
1799; I dined there in a family way. Miss T
. and the children had left the table. Lord Berl
t apd I were left to ourselves. The business at
time was before this House. I asked my Lord B
. ,
Icy if he had been married, as it was set forth, i
year 1785 ? He told me he was. " Good C

October, 1715, you are understood to say w:
I. first time you saw Miss Tudor ?—lt might have
