kirby’s wonderful museum.

Cross examined by Mr, Serjeant Pell.
I never talked in the family about my brother marrying
her. I was much surprised to hear that my brother had taken
her off from her uncle’s house on the Sunday night. I
heard of it the same night, or rather on the following morn-
ing. I was at Holway when she came there. I never knew
of her coming till she actually came. She came there be-
tween one and half past one in the morning. I did not see
Mrs. Mulraine till after Miss Glenn came. We went to
bed about half past ten. Mrs. Mulraine was not in the
house at the time. My brother, James Bowditch, was not
at home. My brother William did not live with us. The
house was shut up when we went to bed. My mother went
to bed at the same time with us. I did not directly get up
when Miss Glenn came to the house, at such an extraordinary
hour of the night. I heard her voice. I did not dress myself,
but I got out of my bed. I was very much surprised. Miss
Glenn was not in a great deal of distress. She was very
lively and in very good spirits. She did amuse herself
the time she was there with playing upon the harp and
singing ; she did not play upon the harp at the time she came
to the house so late at night. I have not seen her since till
to-day. I was surprised when I saw her impropriety at
Holway, in treading on my brother’s toes, throwing handker-
chiefs at him, and sitting upon his knee. I did not mention
it to my mother, but I mentioned it to Miss Glenn. I did
not know of any probability of my brother being about to
be married to her, any farther than she said she would have
him, and I was not sorry for it when I found the marriage was
prevented, and that she had returned to Mr. Tuckett’s: the
impression upon my mind was, that Miss Glenn was a young
lady of very loose behaviour. I did not complain to my
mother of her being a young lady who conducted herself
with great impropriety; my mother did not know it. She
was away most days. I did not say any thing to my mother
