too had marks of blood upon them; the back and every
other part of the gown was clean, and the muslin spencer
appeared to be but little soiled. The deceased had made no
preparation for the return of her monthly complaint. She
had no flannel petticoat on.
[Thomas Dale, the police-officer, here produced a bundle,
which he stated to be the same he had received from Mr.
Webster. It was sealed up by Mr. Webster before it was
given to him. The seal was then broke, and the two dresses
of the deceased handed to the jury. The pink gown, as de-
scribed by Mrs. Lavell, appeared to be much bloodied, and
the mark of a drop of blood was observable on one of the
black stockings.]

live at Penn’s Mills. On the 27th of May I assisted in ex-
amining the body of the deceased. It was then lying at the
house of William Laved, and might be about half past ten

lower parts of her body were very bloody; I could not tell
the cause.

before me, at Tyburn, on the 27th of May last. The depo-
sition of the prisoner now produced, was taken by me; it
was read over to him, and signed by him in my presence.
[The deposition was then put in and read. The substance
of it was, that he had been with the deceased very early that
morning, walking about the fields. That, while they were
sitting together on a stile, a man came by, who wished them
good morning. They continued there conversing together
for about a quarter of an hour. He then went part of the
way with the deceased to Mrs. Butler’s, and, after stopping
for her at the Green about five minutes, went away, and saw
