And was it the voice of your mistress, Mrs. Patrick?—Oh! no, sir!

Could you tell whose voice it was?—Yes; I knew the voice directly I heard it.

Whose voice was it?—Mr. Church’s.

What did you do afterwards, and what did he do?—He fled from the room directly.

When you use the word fled, what do you mean by that?—He went out of the room.

The word fled indicates more than merely going out of the room; did he go out in a hurried manner?—He went out in a hurried step.

Upon his going out what did you do?—I got out of bed, and put on my small clothes and shoes, and went to the man up at the kiln.

What did you do first—when he went out of the room—what did you first do?—I got out of bed, and put on my small clothes and shoes.

Did you see him go out of the room?—Yes. As he opened the door I saw by the lamp that it was Mr. Church, and he had only his shirt on.

Where is that lamp that enabled you to see the person of Church?—Outside of the door.
