Q. At that time were they merry? A. Yes.
Q. You were not long there? A. About twenty minutes.
Q. Did you get any spirits? A. Yes.
Q. At what hour did you go to bed? A. About half-past nine; sometime after I heard a noise of dancing and merriment.
Q. Did you hear any singing? A. No, Sir.
Q. Fighting and scuffling? A. There was a great noise.
Q. Did you distinguish any particular voice? A. No.
Q. Did the noise last long? A. Yes. The next morning Mrs Burke came into my house to borrow a pair of bellows, and asked me if I heard Burke and Hare fighting in the night time.
Q. Any more about the fighting? A. I asked her then what she had done with the little woman? She said, she kicked her out of the door, because she had been using too much freedom with William, (meaning Burke.)
Q. Did she go after that? A. Yes, that was about eight. She afterwards returned about nine to borrow a dram glass, and asked me to come into her house.
