I saw the prisoner with Mrs. Davis the day her father was opened; I told her I had orders from the Mayor to detain her. She said she was very glad, because the mob was about.
Did you think, from her dress and behaviour, she was about to attempt to make her escape?—No, it did not appear to me at all.
Cross-examined—
Were you there when Mr. and Mrs. Lane came in?—I was.
Did you hear the words she said to Mr. Lane?—I heard nothing at all.

Ford
Mr. FORD—
As very unjustifiable and illegal methods have been used to prejudice the world against Miss Blandy, such as it is to be hoped, no man will have the boldness to repeat—I mean the printing and publishing the examination of witnesses before her trial—and as very scandalous reports have been spread concerning her behaviour ever since her imprisonment, it is desired that the reverend gentleman who has attended her as a clergyman may give an account of her conduct whilst in gaol, that she may at least be delivered of some of the infamy she at present lies under.
