In conclusion, 1 have to say, In answer
10 questions put TO me.
Cd That neither l nor my fellow-ser-
want ever saw my master give Lady
Clyde any medicine himself.
90 That he was never. to my knowl-
edge and belief. left alone in the room
with Lady Clyde.
CD That am not able TO say what
caused the sudden fright which my mis-
tress informed me had seized the lady on

cause was never explained either TO me
or TO my fellow-servant.
The above statement has been read
over in my presence. / have nothing to
add to Il or TO take away from II. say.

Is the truth.
