ABDUCTION OF MISS GLENN.
481
Joseph Broom, after I had been absent two hours, asked me
whether the knot was tied, and that I said, “ -Yes, and thank
God it cannot be untied.” I recollect the time I was at
Thornford at dinner, on the Monday, Mr. Templer helped
me to a plate of roast meat; but I could not eat. 1 saw no
apple-pudding. It is quite false, that Jones saw me at Mr.
Paul’s house sitting on James Bowditch’s knee, with my arm
round his neck, and playing at dominos with him. I know
Miss Sarah Bowditch, and have seen her here. Did never
in my life play at blindman’s-buff with James Bowditch.
Did never tread upon his toes, or throw handkerchiefs at him.
It is quite false, when it is said I came to Holway Farm in
the middle of the night, that I found Mrs. Owen there. It
is false, that I said, if Mrs. Mulraine would not go with me
I would go by myself. It is quite false, I never got up into
the gig first, and never helped up James Bowditch ; and never
asked William Bowditch to get up.
James Long sworn ; examined by Mr. Gaselee.
I am parish clerk at St. Mary Magdalen’s, at Taunton;
and I do remember when Mrs. Mulraine’s child was christ-
ened perfectly well. I do know Mrs. Mulraine. The god-
mothers upon that occasion, I believe, were the Bowditch
family. I have seen Miss Glenn. I saw her at Mrs. Bow-
ditch’s after the child was christened ; the day after. I did
not dine there the day the child was christened. I can give
a reason in a moment, on the occasion of my going to Mrs.
Bowditch’s ; there was no sexton, and foe sextoness was a
widow woman: the entry I thought was not made right, and
I went to ascertain the Christian and Surname. I went, in
short, to see if the register did not want alteration. I do not
know that that lady (looking at Miss Glenn) was the person
that stood godmother. I cannot recollect that I ever saw
her before the christening. I do not recollect whether I have
either seen her or not the day before that; she was not the
person who stood godmother.
