Witness, after being referred to letter Of the nth
of NAV, was examined upon the following statement
by Wilkinson OF an interview with her on the 11th
OF May:-I opened the question OF ner Will, and told
her that as Mr.. Home had now had such q benefit
from her wished to bring very seriously before her
that she Should exclude her relations by her will
she said that she just as well satisfied with him
"a ever and that nothing could surpass his Kindness
TO her. All that she feared was that he would not
live long, and il ne died she would alter her will, for
she said that she did not wish any more OF her money

the first. My spirits were always reminding me that
must execute that deed. That was the first point
that opened my eyes. Another point dsilked was
that Daniel told me was not to go to other med-
ums. When Daniel denied that the spirits had any,
thing to do with my giving him the money, 1t was
just before he went TO Malvern that was the first
time. 1t was on the Goth or 9Th OF February. He
denied there had been any manifest tiOns during the
Irst seven days of our acquaintance. He called the
spirits and they said-"Daniel Is correct, and you

when it denied that i had had any manifesto

and burst into q long, rambling statement, which
was wiln uiliculty e.ecAeu.) Lady Dunsdny told
me afterwards the spirits were not to be relied upon
when told her how they had denied having dictated
my eyes. Mr.. Gibson did not help to open my eyes;
he was Dams friend. Certainly, about the latter end
he recommended me to a solicitor.
