THOMAS STAVERTON, examined—
I have lived near them five or six and twenty years and upwards, and was always intimate with them; I always thought they were two happy people, he happy in a daughter and she in a father, as any in the world. The last time she was at our house she expressed her father had had many wives laid out for him, but she was satisfied he never would marry till she was settled.
Cross-examined—
Did you observe for the last three or four months before his death that he declined in his health?—I observed he did; I do not say as to his health, but he seemed to shrink, and I have often told my wife my old friend Blandy was going.
Had he lost any teeth latterly?—I do not know as to that; he was a good-looking man.
PRISONER'S COUNSEL—
How old was he?—I think he was sixty-two.
