and on making inquiries as to the reason, !:e wider-
stood that he was at work in that way. The next
morning, at four o'clock, Mrs Tacked went into her
room, and discovered that she was gone. She adopt
ed every means of sending in pursuit of her. He
met Mrs. Mulraine, who with much agitation told
him where Miss Glenn had been carried ; be told her
she had been carried off by afoul conspiracy, to
which her reply was, that she had nothing to do
with it, being a mere visitor at Mrs. Bowditeh's.—
His niece had before seen Mt. Oxenham, and accu-
rately described him as the person who made het
sign a paper at William
Maria Glenn was again called, and confronted
with Mr. Oxenham ; she swore positively that •he
was the man she had seen at Wm. Bowditch's house,
and who there produced the second paper which SIX
was compelled to sign at that place. Before she
knew it was Mr. Oxenham, she described him as
short man, Nvith black hair and a greasy face.
Mary Whitby, the nurse maid, confirmed the testi-
mony just given, in the material points, and denied
that there was any familiarity between Miss Glenn
and James Bowditch. She undressed Miss Glenn
and saw her in bed on the night of the 21st of Sep-
tember, and believed she had no idea of elopement.
The Rev. Blakeley Cooper, Surrogate to the Dean
of Sarum, proved the granting a marriage license to
James Bowditch, on his swearing that 'Maria Glena
was of age,,and had the consent of her relations.
This was the case for the prosecution, and
Mr. CASBERD addressed the Court on the part of
the Defendants ; admitting that, if he could not over-
throw the evidence of Maria Glenn, his case was ne-
cessarily hopeless. lie then proceeded to call witnesses.
John Oxenham, examined by Mr. SEL WYbre-WIL•
Ittess is an Attorney at Taunton ; has been there about
fifteen years, first as copying-clerk to Mr. kinglake,
then as articled clerk, and lastly, his successor in
business ; had seen Miss Glenn about four times,
once when she came to the office with Mr. Henry
James Leigh, the prosecutor's attorney ; this was tee
latter end of last January ; had no knowledge of
Miss Glenn before. On the morning of the 20th of
September was with Mr. Weaver, of Staple Grove,
and remained with him some hours ; other persols
were with Mr. Weaver. The office is in Mary-street,
the corner of Brick-street. Swore most positively,
that he never produced any deed or writing to iNi:ss
Glenn before the meeting in January.
On his cross-examination by Mr. Setjeant PELL,
he said, the Bowditas were not his clients, though
he had done business for them ; he defends then!
now. He cannot say how long it would take to walk
from his office to William Bowditch's, though it is
in the same street; perhaps a quarter of an hour or
20 minutes to go there and back; a person could nut
'go in less, if they had any business to transact.
Mr. Serjeant PELL, inquired for the letters which
had been shewn• to Miss Glenn, but Mr. Cashel d
said he should not offer them in evidence.

Mr. Justice PARK obierved, that it was for the
Counsel to judge ; but if they were not given, bOth
he and the Jury must necess.aily draw their own
conclusions.

Mr, CASBERD then reluctantly sent the letters to
Mr Ozenham, and asked if they were the letteis
shewn to Miss Glenn?

The letters were read. They were as follow:
" September 14, 1817.
" My dear James—ln answer to your last letter, I writ you
to buy the license, and assure you that I was twent.y.one the
.28th of Last August. Remember that I have no independent
fortune. Can there then be blame in our formitig this alliance
when love, not interest, actuates the deed. Yours, truly,
(Signed) " main GiLLNN."
" Mr. J. Bowditch, idolway Cottage."

The other was a note to Mrs. "Mulraine:

• bliss Glenn seeds her kindest love to Mrs. blulrsint, and
informs her it will be perfectly out of her power to bee her be-
fore half-past twelve to-night, as her aunt and uncle both will
be with her if she goes out to walk. She understands that she
has something to cunimunicate to her of consequence; if so. she
would be obliged to Mrs. AIM/sine if she could write anti in.
form her of it by the bearer.
" Sunday Morning."

Mr. Oxenham said, that when these were sl:ewn
to Miss Glenn, she admitted the letter to James Bow.
ditch to be hers, all but the direction; but totally de.
aiod the note to Mrs. Mulraine.

Charles Puthly lived near at the time of the trans-
action. lie saw part of Mr. Bowditch's family must
days. He saw Miss Glenn almost every day ; saw
her accompanied by• Mr. James Buwditch, goner:4l7
resting his hand upon the mane of the horse. Ile
had seen them more than ten times in that situation.
lle considered him a little in the sucetheat ting lino.
Samuel Mansfield recollected seeing Miss Glenn at
Mrs. Bowditch's, in July, 1817, He had seen James
Bowditch and Miss Glenn walking many a timearm
in arm together in the farm and about the fields: he
saw them in July and August ; he had seen them in
the summer-house many a time. They were indeed
very loving. - Witness had seen them in a waggon
together, and Bowditch kissed her_ in the waggon.
Witness said he had saddled a horse for her many ,
night to ride out. James Bowditch sometimes ran
by her side; he had seen her in the kitchen, sitting
on his knee. He recollected when Mi.s Susan Bow-
ditch was With her, going to Ilestercomb. She ap-
peared very fond. of him.
Crosa,erainisoci by Mr. Se ',leant Pax.
He did not know Alias Glean be e she came to Mr. Bow.
ditch's family.
Miss Glean was again called in.
Mr. Serjeant Para.—. Now turn round to that Lady."
Witness looked at her impudently.
• Mr. Serjeant Peui.---" Is that the young Lady that did
that you have described?"
Mr. Justice Paae—" Is that the young Lady whom Tensaw
sitting on his knee?"
Witness—" Not in my presence—he saw her sitting on
knee—he saw Miss Glenn do so."
Mr. Serjeant Psu.—'. Was it that young Lady?"
Witness—.. No, this is net the young Lady."
At this answer a strong feeling of indignation was manifested'
Mr. Justice PAILIL-•" Then this is not the young Lady you
saw kissed.in a waggon?"
Witness—" No, I don't think it is."
The feelings of a crowded Court could scarcely be suppreasetd.
Several other witnesses were called for the defence,
who swore to having seen James Bowditch and Miss
Glenn walking together, and in other situations, -
familiarity, such as is usual with young people wl
have a mutual affection; but none of the allegations
disproved any of the material facts set forthM
evidence for the prosecution.
Mr. Serjeant Pzu. was about to reply, when
Mr. Justice PARK humanely suggested that the
young Lady might withdraw.
The Rev. Mr. Cooper, who had attended her dur-
ing the day, said he WAS mak afraid tat go tint aloe'
