Mary Owen knew Miss Glenn that is the lady; was at Mrs. Bowditch's house ; on the 22d of September. Miss G ! t I . J . '1 came there between one 1 and two o'clock, and she heard. Mrs. Bowditch ask Miss Glenn why sje took so imprudent a step, and in about ten minutes afterwards Miss Clenn came j into her bed room, and she appeared very cheerful, very lively , and full of spirit.-. ;Mrs. Mulraine had taken part of her i clothes off to lie klown with witness Mrs. Bowditch had then got up.

Shortly after a young lady earned out of the house and got into the gig, and then James Bow-; ditch went up into the gig, and the young, lady said to Wm. Bowditch, " come up into the gig, and ride there is plenty of rood i;? but he said " no, he would come on upon his pony." They had bundles, and witness gave them to the young lady in the gig, and then the young lady said, " let me go along ;" and told witness to carry a light on the common, and to open the gates. i " Cross-examined by Mr. Moore. He was in their employment in ISeptember ; I h& knew Mr. Tuckett 'ancL-Mr. Lee, and reiriembered his speaking to them that James Bowditch told him in te field a few days before, that if Mr. Tuckett ask ed him, to say (hat Miss Glenri got into the gig first, and James Bowditch told hjm also to. say, that Miss Glenn pulled up Mr. James Bowditch into the gig. , ; Re-examined. The absolute fact was, that Miss Glenn- did get into the gig first. Miss Glenn was again called and exam ined by Mr. Serjeant Pell- She never asked Puddy to assist her up a wheat mow; she never stood god:mother to Mrs.! Mulraine's child ; she never came Out of her uncle's hquse, and went to French Wearfields, arm in arm with Jas. Bowditch ; she never left her uncle's gate to walk with Bowditch ; she was never in St. Mary Magdalen.- church at the children ; she never came out without a bonnet or cap, and white gown, to meet James Bowditch,' and :to walk with him ; she did not know one Broom ; never rej collected having said she was going to be' married to James Bowditch. At the din- ner spoken of by Mr. Templer, she ate very little beef, and saw no pudding ; she never threw her arms round James Bow- ditch ; never played blind man's buff with mm, never youuponiiis ioes or inrew nanuKercnieis ai mm ; sne um notsay she would go by herself if Mrs. Mulraine would not go with her ; she. did not get in to the.gig first. Indeed, this young lady deliberately contradicted every important fact spoken by the witnesses for the de fence. . Mr. Long, parish clerk at the parish church of St. Mary Magdalen, at Taun ton, said, he knew Mrs. Mulraine's child was christened ; he believed the Bowditch family stood' for her. Miss Glenn was not there;: he saw her at Mrs. Bowditeh's the same day or the day after; he went to see ifthe register wanted any alteration C5ne was not tne person who stood god- mother MarV.

Witness stated that Mr. Templer said he- had helped Miss, Glenn to beef, but whether she ate it or not he could not tell, as he did not take much notice of her. Re-examined. He was positive that one of the Bowditch es stood God-mother to the child. The Kev. iMr. Hunt Clapp was the clergyman, but he was in a bad state of health at present Sarah Nbrtham lived nearly opposite r. Tuckett's house;, Witness was called JNlr out by Mrs. Warren, who said, "now you may see! Miss Glenn and -James Bow ditch ;" and witness came out and saw a young lady who was in the road with Bowditch ; she wer.t over to the railing and shook hands with the nursery maid with great eagerness ; and she returned to Bowditch, took him by the arm, arid went over the weir. Witness said if she- saw any more of this, she would acquaint Mr. 1 uckett of it ; but witness's daughter was present, and went to the weir to wash her hands, and to see ifit was Miss Glenn; 4 in the . presence of Mrs. Warren, her daughter said it was notJVIiss Glenn. Sarah Northam, the younger daughter of last witness, knew IVliss Glenn, bhe remembered the time alluded to by her mother: and she was sure Miss Glenn was not ine youn iaoy wun jamcs vuwuiivu. Wesstelieved she had seen Miss Glenn walk out with her uncle before. Here Mr. Sergeant Pell proposed to 1 put two ladies into the box, who superin j tended Miss Glenn's education, and who , would speak to he propriety of her geji- eraj conduct, i ! The learned judge said, he could not receive jsuch evidence. Mr. Serjeant Pe was abut to reply, when 'Mr. Justice Park humanely suggested that the young lady might withdraw. . ; - i t ( The Rev.

The court acquiesced, and the jury hav ing consulted a few minutes the foreriian (Mr. Bahks) observed, that; it would J be unnecessary for the learned sergeant to reply, oif for his lordship to sum up, they being satisfied that a conspiracy, existed. However, they did nbt see any thing that implicated Elizabeth Snell, the house maid. . ,. She was! certainly in some degree concerned in th transaction ; but without being so highly culpable. f ,1 ft Mr. Justice Pari; acquiesced Tn the" 6- pinion of the jury, as regarded Elizabeth Snell f and Mr. Serjeant Pell agreed that she should be acquitted. , The jury then returned a verdict of guilty against all the defendants, except Elizabeth Snell. ! - - "4 j-i -v; - Mr. Justice Park observed," that; his own opinion perfectly coincided with that of the jury ; but that, had it been other wise, he should have felt it his duty to go through the whole of the evidence, which-A he - had been obliged to take down at great length, for the purpose of reporting -it to the Court of King's lierich.
