he gravel and heartburn, which he was subject to for years. Did he make any other complaints?--He used to have little fits of the gout. Was there any other complaint for seven, eight, nine, or ten years?--Nothing particular, but that of the heartburn, which I cannot tell whether I ever heard him complain of before or not. Can you take upon you to say that he made any particular complaint of the heartburn more than he had done at any other time?--I cannot say positively, because I have not continued these things in my memory. He ordered me to give him some dry oatmeal and water for the heartburn. Is that good for the heartburn?--I have been told it is very good for it. How was her behaviour to her father?--Her general behaviour was dutiful, except upon any passion or a hasty word from her father. When did she call her father "old villain"?--She would use expressions of that kind when she was in a passion. Upon what account?--For using her ill. KING'S COUNSEL--Were these expressions made use of before his face or behind his back?--I have heard her before his face and behind his back. PRISONER'S COUNSEL--When have you heard it?--I believe in the last twelve months, but cannot be sure. KING'S COUNSEL--Recollect on what occasion?--It has been, I believe, on little passions on both sides, and that generally from trifles. PRISONER'S COUNSEL--When did you first communicate your suspicion to Mr. Blandy about his being poisoned?--On the Saturday morning before his death, from what I saw on the Wednesday before. Why did you keep this suspicion of yours from Wednesday to Saturday?--The reason I did not tell my suspicions to Mr. Blandy sooner than Saturday was because I stayed for Mr. Stevens, the prisoner's uncle, who did not come till Friday night; I told him then, and he desired me to tell Mr. Blandy of it. Did you ever say anything of it to Miss Blandy?--No, I did not. Pray, what conversation passed between her father and her down upon her knees, &c.?--She said, "Sir, how do you do?" He said, "I am very ill." Was anything said about Mr. Cranstoun's addresses to her?--Yes, there was. That conversation was occasioned by a message that Mr. Blandy had sent to his daughter by me on Monday morning. What was that message?--That he was ready to forgive her if she would but endeavour to bring that villain to justice. Did she say with what intent the powder was given to her?--She said it was given h
