CHAPTER XLVII.
["THE LITTLE BUSY BEE" CONTINUES ITS REPORT OF THE INQUEST.]
The public are by this time acquainted with much of the evidence Mrs. Death had to offer. After narrating the circumstances of her husband's dismissal from the service of Mr. Samuel Boyd, and of his going late at night to Mr. Boyd's house in Catchpole Square to beg to be taken back, the examination proceeded as follows:
"What salary did your husband receive from Mr. Boyd?"
"Twenty-two shillings a-week, with deductions for imaginary faults."
"Did he work long hours?"
"From nine in the morning till eight at night. Occasionally he worked overtime, but was never paid anything extra."
"He was not happy in his situation?"
"How could he be, sir, with such a master?"
"They had frequent disagreements?"
