YOUNG--I measured the water this morning, and it was so high that it ran over the floodgate, and the height of it was about four foot two inches; but sometimes it is pent up to a greater height than it is to-day. COWPER--Was it higher to-day than when the body was found? YOUNG--To the best of my remembrance, it was as high to-day as it was then. COWPER--Was any part of the body above water? YOUNG--No, nor nothing like the body could be seen. COWPER--Could you see where her legs lay? YOUNG--No, nor nothing but her upper coats, which were driven against the stakes. COWPER--Pray give an account how long she lay there, and when she was conveyed away? YOUNG--I stayed a quarter of an hour, and then I went and sealed up the money at my own house, so that I did not see her removed. JONES--Was anybody there besides yourself at this time? YOUNG--Yes; twenty people at the least. JONES--Now here is ten of them that have sworn that the body was above the surface of the water. HATSELL, BARON--No, her cloaths, they say, were, but the body was something under the water. COWPER--Now I will trouble your lordship no more with that fact, but I will give you an account of the coroner's inquest, how diligent they were in their proceedings, and produce a copy of the inquisition itself, that she was found to have drowned herself. HATSELL, BARON--Mr. Cowper, that is no evidence if it be produced in order to contradict what these witnesses have said, that have been examined for the king; but if you will prove that they have sworn otherwise before the coroner than they now do, then you say something, otherwise the coroner's inquest signifies nothing as to the present question. COWPER--Call Thomas Wall. I am loth to be troublesome; but, if you please to favour me, I desire to know of them whether they do admit there was an inquisition, and that she was found _non compos mentis_ and did kill herself. JONES--We do admit it. JURYMAN--We desire it may be read. HATSELL, BARON--Why, will not you believe what they agree to on both sides? JURYMAN--If they do agree so, I am satisfied. _Wall_ was one of the coroner's jury, and saw the marks on the body which he described; Mr. Camlin and the younger Dimsdale were requested to examine them, which they did, and reported that they were no more than were usual in such cases. Wall refreshed his memory from his notes, and said that Sarah Walker had said that it was about eleven when she had taken the coals up to warm Cowper's bed, but she could not say when it was that Cowper went out, for she took up some more coals, and then tarried a little, and then went down and found that Cowper and her mistress had gone out. HATSELL, BARON--The woman said the same thing.
