ADDUCTION OF MISS GLENN.

then returned with pen, ink, and paper. She said, I want
you to write something. I said, no, I could not; I must go
home. Mrs. Mulraine then said, “ Don’t begin again, it is
no use to repeat, but you know what Mr. Bowditch has said.”
James Bowditch merely said, “ It is no use to repeat, you
know already what I have said, and 1 will do it.” Mrs.
Mulraine then said, “ 'lake up a pen, and I will tell you
what to write.” I do not recollect the precise words; 1
merely recollect the substance, which was, that I would com-
ply with every thing James Bowditch required, or what
James Bowditch would wish me to do, and that my age was
sixteen. She made me leave several spaces in the paper. I
put my name to it, and as soon as I had written the paper,
Mrs. Mulraine put her hand over my shoulder and took it
away, and a person came in I was certain I had not seen be-
fore. William Bowditch went out at this time. William
Bowditch remained in the room while I was writing, and
then went out and returned with a person whom I had
not seen before. I have seen that person since, but 1 did
not then know7 him. I now know him to be Mr.
Oxenham, and I have not the slightest doubt of him;
he had a large paper in his hand, but not the paper I had
been signing; it looked like Greek to me, I do not
know what it was; he told me to sign my name at the
bottom of the paper, in the presence of some of these peo-
ple. He pointed with his huger. I took up a pen, and put
my hand to the middle of the bottom of the paper, but he
pushed my hand and said, “ Not there.” Then I signed it.
After this Mrs. Mulraine opened the door of the parlour;
after I had signed the paper Mr. Oxenham left the room first,
as Mrs. Mulraine got up and opened the door. I then
walked up the court, Mrs. Mulraine on one side, and James
Bowditeh on the other. Mrs. Mulraine said 1 need not now
be alarmed, for Mr. Bo<vditch w’ould not hurt me. I then
returned home. On the Sunday I went to church with my
aunt, and saw Mrs. Bowditch at church. My aunt walked
