_A._ No.
_Mr. Park._ Had you made the bed on the Sunday, the day you saw him go out so many times in the morning?
_A._ Yes, I was up stairs making the bed, and he went out; I looked out of the window, and saw him go.
_Q._ Did you, or not, make his bed on the Monday?
_A._ I did.
_Q._ At what time of the day did you make his bed?
_A._ Not till after my master came home; my master came home, and when I found he had been out, I went up stairs immediately, and I made his bed.
_Q._ As you did not see your master on the Sunday night or Monday morning, what was the last time upon the Sunday that you did in fact see him; not that you believe him to be there, but that you saw him with your own eyes?
_A._ I am not certain whether I saw him go out on the Sunday at four o'clock, but I think I did.
_Q._ You say you made his bed after he came home on the Monday?

_Mr. Park._ Had he been constantly sleeping in his own bed for several months?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ Did you sleep in that bed, that night?
_A._ No.
_Q._ I did not mean to ask you an improper question; but you did not sleep in that bed; I meant no such insinuation as might be supposed?
_A._ I did not sleep in it.
_Q._ Did your husband sleep in that bed, and you in your own?
_A._ No.
_Q._ Did you and your husband sleep together that night?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ Are you quite sure that you made the bed on the Sunday, and again on the Monday?
_A._ I did; I am quite sure of that.
_Q._ Do you recollect how your master was dressed when he came home on the Monday?
_A._ I do; he had a black coat on.
_Q._ Had he any thing in his hand?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ What was it?
_A._ A bundle.
_Q._ Did you happen to see, while either it was in his hand, or immediately on his laying it down, the contents of the bundle?
_A._ I saw a part of a coat where the bundle was open at the tie; a grey coat, just where the knot was tied?
_Q._ Had your master a grey great coat?
_A._ Yes, he had.
_Q._ Had he had one for some time?
_A._ Yes; about a month, I believe.
_Q._ Did your master continue after that Monday to sleep regularly at home, till he finally went away on the following Sunday?
_A._ Yes.
_Cross-examined by Mr. Bolland._
_Q._ Your master had no other servant but you and your husband?
_A._ No.
_Q._ In what capacity did he serve him?
_A._ As man-servant; he used to wait upon him, and do any thing that was requisite to do.
_Q._ He waited upon him at dinner?
