you an improper question; but you did not
sleep in that bed; I meant no such insinuation as might be supposed?

_A._ I did not sleep in it.

_Q._ Did your husband sleep in that bed, and you in your own?

_A._ No.

_Q._ Did you and your husband sleep together that night?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ Are you quite sure that you made the bed on the Sunday, and again
on the Monday?

_A._ I did; I am quite sure of that.

_Q._ Do you recollect how your master was dressed when he came home on
the Monday?

_A._ I do; he had a black coat on.

_Q._ Had he any thing in his hand?

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ What was it?

_A._ A bundle.

_Q._ Did you happen to see, while either it was in his hand, or
immediately on his laying it down, the contents of the bundle?

_A._ I saw a part of a coat where the bundle was open at the tie; a grey

_Q._ Had he had one for some time?

_A._ Yes; about a month, I believe.

_Q._ Did your master continue after that Monday to sleep regularly at
home, till he finally went away on the following Sunday?

_A._ Yes.

_A._ Yes; and at breakfast; he always used to carry it up; I never did
that, except when he was out.

_Q._ You did not know till your master came home, that he had been out
that morning?

_A._ No, I did not.

_Q._ Your husband went out about eight o'clock.

_A._ Yes.

_Q._ Was not Mr. De Berenger in the habit of ringing his bell in the
morning for breakfast?

_A._ After he came down he used to ring the drawing-room bell, and then
I used to carry it up, if my husband was out.

_Q._ Who supplied him in the morning with water, for the purpose of
shaving?

_A._ He never used warm water; he had water in his room.

_Q._ He never rang for your husband to attend him?

_A._ Sometimes he did; but he knew my husband was going out that
morning, and therefore he did not ring.

_Q._ Did it not appear to you extraordinary that morning, that there was
no call for breakfast till that hour?

_A._ Yes; I supposed my master had breakfasted out, of course, when he
