ABDUCTION OF MISS GLENN.

was going to give the bill of sale. The time I finally left
the office that day was nearly twelve o ’clock.
Sarah Bowditch sworn; examined by Me. Jeremy.
I am acquainted with Miss Glenn, and 1 am acquainted
with her hand-writing; I have seen her write,
[The letter to James Bowditch, dated 14th of September,
1817, was shown to the witness.]
I believe that to be her hand-writing.
[Another letter was then shown to the witness, addressed
to Mrs. Snow, Sadler, St. Thomas’s Street, Exeter; signed
Maria Glenn, and dated July the 24th, 1817-]
I believe that to be her hand- writing.
[The letter was then put in as evidence, and read by the
Associate.]
I lived during the last year at Holway with my mother,
at the time when Miss Glenn and the Miss Tucketts came
to my mother’s, the whole of the time. The occupation of
Miss Glenn, generally, during the time she was there, was
mostly with the children; she amused herself in the evening
with us in the kitchen. I mean myself, and my brother
James, and sister; it was about a week or ten days after she
came to reside there she did do this; she went out occasion-
ally in the evening ; she often rode out, and walked ; she
rode on my brother’s pony, who used to accompany her in
these rides ; she was sometimes alone; my brother always
went, and sometimes my sister v.ould go. When she came
home from these rides, she employed her evenings in the
kitchen, with us. I have often seen them playing together at
blindman’s-buff, and other things, and at cards. I observed
a great deal of impropriety in Miss Glenn’s behaviour with
regard to my brother, such as treading upon his toes, and
throwing her handkerchief at him. I have seen her on his
knee. I observed it about a fortnight, or it may be a little
more, after she came to reside at my mother’s, and continued
till she left us.
