ELIZABETH BINFIELD, examined—
I was a servant to Mr. Francis Blandy at Henley, and had been almost three years.
When did you first discover his illness and hear him complain of unusual prickings in has stomach?—About a fortnight before he died.
Did you ever hear Miss Blandy talk of something in the house which she said presaged his death, or something like it?—I have often heard her talk of walkings and music in the house that she had heard. She said she thought it to be her mother, saying the music foretold her father's death.
Whom has she said so to?—She has told me so.
How long ago?—For some time before her father's death; I believe for three-quarters of a year.
How long did she continue talking in this manner?—She did till his death. I have often heard her say he would die before October.
