A FULL AND AUTHENTIC ACCOUNT O?
After the counsel had finished their speeches, the wiU
nesses for the defendant were called, chiefly consisting of
her mother’s friends, who generally spoke of her former
character, and her behaviour after she came home.
James Lord, apprentice to Mrs. Canning, deposed to
Elizabeth Canning’s being missed, the great concern hi&
mistress was in on that account, and that when she re-
turned, his mistress was at prayers for her daughter’s re-
turn • that when she came to the door,/be did not at first
know her, nor till she spoke, she was in such a deplorable
condition ; that his mistress fell in a fit upon it; that she
had a bit of handkerchief over her head, and an old jacket
on, and that she was a very sober girl.
Mr. Baekler, an apothecary in Al dermanbury,' deposed*,
He was applied to by the girl's mother, and went to her
on the 30th of January 5 he found her extremely low, and,
could scarcely hear her speak, with, cold clammy sweats,
in her bed ; she complained of being very faint and sick,
and of pains in her bowels, and of having been costive the
whole time of her confinement.—He ordered her a purging
medicine, but her stomach was too weak for it, and could
not bear it; he then ordered her a glyster that evening,
and on the 3d of February another; the latter had some
little effect:—He ordered her another on the 5th ; that had
no effect at all; and, she continuing very bad, and ip
great danger, Dr. Eaton was sent for on the 6th :—He
wrote prescriptions for her for fourteen days, of diuretic
and gentle cathartic medicinesthat she was tolerably
well in about a month. When she was at the worst, hem-
face was remarkable, her colour quite gone, her arms of a
livid colour spotted; and that when he heard she was gone,
to Enfield Wash, when the people were taken up, he.
thought her not able to perform the journey, and thought
it extremely improper for her to undertake it, she being
yerv much emaciated and wasted.
