Dell—No, my lord.
John Ulfe saw Mrs. Stout when she was taken out of the water; she lay there on one side; there was nothing at all to hold her up; she lay between a couple of stakes, but the stakes could not hold her up.
Katherine Dew, Edward Blackno, William Edmunds, William Page, William How, and John Meager all gave the same account of the position and state of the body, Dew and Ulfe adding that her shoes and stockings were not muddy.
Jones—Now, my lord, we will give an account how she was when she was stript, and they came to view the body. Call John Dimsdale, junior. (Who was sworn.)
Dimsdale—My lord, I was sent for at night on Tuesday the last assizes.
Cowper—My lord, if your lordship pleases, I have some physicians of note and eminency that are come down from London; I desire that they may be called into Court to hear what the surgeons say.
Hatsell, Baron—Ay, by all means.
Cowper—My lord, there is Dr. Sloane, Dr. Garth, Dr. Morley, Dr. Gilstrop, Dr. Harriot, Dr. Wollaston, Dr. Crell, Mr. William Cowper, Mr. Bartlett, and Mr. Camlin. [Who respectively appeared in Court.]
Jones—Give an account how you found Mrs. Stout.
Hatsell, Baron—You are a physician, I suppose, Sir?
