Hatsell, Baron—When you took her out of the water, did you observe her body swelled?
Dell—We carried her into the meadow, and laid her on the bank-side, and there she lay about an hour, and then was ordered to be carried into the miller's.
Hatsell, Baron—Did you observe that any water was in the body?
Dell—None at all that I could see; but there was some small matter of froth came from her mouth and nostrils.
Juryman—My lord, I desire to know whether her stays were laced.
Dell—Yes, she was laced.
Cowper—How was she taken out of the water?
Dell—My lord, we stood upon the bridge, I and another man, where she lay, and he laid hold of her and took her out.
Jones—And did you not perceive she was hung?
