Hatsell, Baron—Mr. Cowper, now you may ask him anything, they have done with him.

Cowper—I would ask him, whether he was not employed to view these particular spots he mentions at the Coroner's inquest?

Dimsdale—I was desired to look upon the face and arms, and breast, because they said there was a settling of blood there.

Cowper—When you returned to the Coroner's inquest, what did you certify as your opinion?

Dimsdale—I did certify that there was a settling of blood; but how it came I could not tell.

Cowper—I ask you, Sir, did not you say it was no more than a common stagnation usual in dead bodies?

Dimsdale—I do not remember a word of it.

Cowper—Sir, I would ask you; you say the spot was about the collar-bone; was it above or below?

Dimsdale—From the collar-bone downwards.

Cowper—Had she any circle about her neck?
