I saw Mr John Fleming there. I heard him say that when he went down stairs he found the bed room door locked. He went into the pantry with the intention of going out at the window to look into the room window. On returning he looked at the key hole of the room, and saw a key inside. Then he took the pantry key, and shoved the key inside out of the door. He then opened the door with the pantry key. Did he say he heard a key fall on the inside ? A considerable time after that I got a candle: but when I understood it was a murder I remarked to Mr Fleming and Mr Chrystal that I could get no key there. Mr Fleming remarked that he thought he heard a key fall, but that he was confused. Mr M`Lseri—ln consequence of what he said at first you looked for a key ?—Yes, Sir, when I understood it was murder.

Did it appear as if it had been newly washed ?—The bag was clean, but I could not say that it had been newly washed. In the bag I found some soiled linen. I was told that Jeffrey got it in the bed room, but I do not know what part of the room. The Counsel for the defence asked leave of the Court to retire for a few minutes' consultation, and, when they returned, Lord DEMI said, if they wished to ask Mr M`Call about the bag, that they must recal him before another witness was called. . . .
