kirby’s wonderful museum.
rived with all possible dispatch at Mr. Paul’s house, and
there they found Miss Glenn. They found her under cir-
cumstances of great pain, and rejoicing at the idea of being
removed immediately. They did remove her, and this pro-
secution immediately ensued.
Now, Gentlemen, I can scarcely anticipate how this case
is to be answered, except in the way I have described, by
impressing your minds with the full persuasion that this
young lady consented to all that was done, by having eloped
from her uncle’s house ; and that it having been afterwards
discovered that she had eloped with James Bowditch ; that
then, for the first time, in vindication of her own character,
she invented the account which you will this day hear her
give of the transaction. Gentlemen, that is the sort of de-
fence which I take for granted will be attempted to be put
up to-day. Gentlemen, I mentioned to you that some time
on the preceding evening, or during the Monday night, inti-
mation was given to Mr. Tuckett where the young lady was;
I will state to you who the person was that told Mr. Tuc-
kett, and you will be a little surprised when you hear that
it was one of the defendants, Mrs. Mulraine. This part of
the case you will perceive at first to be a little strange,—
at first sight it certainly does appear a little strange, that
such an intimation should have been given by Mrs. Mul-
raine, if it be proved that Mrs. Mulraine had taken steps in
order to effectuate the marriage on the Monday morning.
Mrs. Mulraine called indeed on the Monday evening; but
during all that time she thought that every thing was com-
pleted to the satisfaction of the Bowditches. Mrs. Mul-
raine then with great candour communicates the matter to
Mr. Tuckett, when she supposed it was too late for any
useful interference on his part; she then, and not till then,
communicates to Mr. Tuckett where the young lady is.
Therefore, Gentlemen, upon the whole of this case, the
outline of which I have described to you, you will have
ultimately to decide whether there has been a conspiracy
