The Attorney-general. "Was she a good-looking woman?"
Witness. "She would not generally be considered so."
The Attorney-general. "Is this a fairly good likeness of her?"
(Photograph of the deceased produced, which, after the witness had examined it, was handed to the jury. It represented a woman, very plain, with a face which seemed to lack intelligence.)
Witness. "It is very like her."
The Attorney-general. "Was she strong-minded?"
Witness. "No, she was not but she was very obstinate when she took it into her head."
The Attorney-general. "How old was she at the time of her engagement with the prisoner?"
Witness. "Twenty-eight."
The Attorney-general. "Do you know the prisoner's age at the time?"
