_A._ Yes.
_Q._ Mr. Donithorne did not wake you?
_A._ No.
_Q._ But Mrs. Donithorne came and waked you, and wished you to get up, because somebody was coming to see the house?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ Do you mean to say, that Mr. De Berenger afterwards went through the house, so as to render that necessary.
_A._ He went up into the attics.
_Q._ Did he go into your room?
_A._ He did not.
_Q._ What occasion was there for your getting up to see him measure the garden?
_A._ There was no occasion for that; but we were getting up, and she thought the gentleman might come into our room.
_Q._ Was she in the habit of calling you?
_A._ Sometimes she has done it.

_Q._ Who carried the rod with which they measured; was it Mr. De Berenger or Donithorne?
_A._ I cannot say, indeed.
_Q._ You may recollect who held the paper, and put down the measurements; which of the two carried the paper, and which carried the measuring rod?
_A._ I cannot tell which of the two it was, they being at the top of the garden almost.
_Q._ It is only a small garden, we know the situation?
_A._ It is a long garden.
_Q._ Which of them was it?
_A._ I cannot say, indeed, which of them it was.

_A._ No, it was a wet morning, I think.
_Q._ Are you sure it was a wet morning?

_Lord Ellenborough._ It had rained a good deal, had it?
_A._ Yes, it had.
_Q._ There was a good deal of rain last February, was there?
_A._ I think that was a wet morning.
_Mr. Bolland._ Had the effect of the rain been such, as to give them a good view of the surface of the ground, so as to measure?
_A._ Yes, I think it had.
_Q._ The snow was melted?
_A._ I think it was.
_Q._ And you saw them lay the rule regularly, that they could take the measurement properly?
_A._ Yes.
_Lord Ellenborough._ Did your husband fail, when he gave up the hatting business?
_A._ Why, yes.
_Q._ There had been no commission of bankrupt against him?
_A._ No.
_Q._ And he gave up his business in that house, and you have been since living at Mr. Donithorne's house?
_A._ Yes.
_Q._ How long has he been in the bail line?
_A._ In the bail line!
_Q._ How long has he been bail for people?
_A._ That is unknown to me, if he has.
_Q._ You have never known of people coming after him to be bail?
