carried this wretched, miserable person from the place
whence she w as first taken, to Holway Farm, where they ad-
ministered to her an infamous potion, which fully completed
the object they had in view, and totally deprived her of her
returning reason, that for the first time she appeared to be
regaining during the night, and which she had for the first
time an opportunity of enjoying.
Miss Glenn was taken into a room at Holway Farm ; and
here a singular circumstance occurred, which probably my
learned friends on the other side will be able to clear up. In
the bed-room in that house was a lady of the name of Owen,
who, as it is represented to me, expressed herself in a very
striking way with reference to this transaction. That Mrs.
Owen made every possible attempt she was able to ascertain
the real state of it; and I must say if that lady be forth-
coming she must be produced on the other side. She is not
one of the defendants, but she seems to have been an ac-
quaintance either of Mrs. Mulraine or of Mrs. Bowditch;
but at all events she was there, and, being there, could give
as well as any body a true account of the matter, if she
means to speak the truth ; for every thing will depend on
that sort of evidence. If Mrs. Owen is produced to-day,
Gentlemen, you will hear what account she gives of the
transaction. Gentlemen, they then put Miss Glenn, after
having persuaded her, or rather forced her, to drink some-
thing similar to that w'hich they before gave her;—they then
put her into a gig, and in this gig James Bowditch drove her
from Holw'ay Farm for the remainder of the night, to a
place called Thornford in this county. This, Gentlemen,
brings me to that part of the transaction which took place at
the house of Mr. Paul at Thornford; Mr. Paul having mar-
ried one of the Bowditches. Thornford appears to have
been the place fixed upon for the last act of this infamous
transaction—infamous as it stands upon the representation
made to me. Here was to be the last act of this infamous
transaction; for at Thornford she was to have been married.
