Call Mr. Joseph Taylor. Pray will you inform the court and jury of what you observed on Saturday before the Monday on which Mrs. Stout destroyed herself. JOSEPH TAYLOR--I happened to go in at Mr. Firmin's shop, and there she sat the Saturday before this accident happened, the former assizes, and I was saying to her, Madam, I think you look strangely discontented; I never saw you dressed so in my life: Saith she, the dress will serve me as long as I shall have occasion for a dress. COWPER--In what posture did she appear in the shop? JOSEPH TAYLOR--She appeared to be very melancholy. COWPER--What part of her dress did you find fault with? JOSEPH TAYLOR--It was her head cloaths. COWPER--What was the matter with them? JOSEPH TAYLOR--I thought her head was dawbed with some kind of grease or charcoal. COWPER--What answer did she make? JOSEPH TAYLOR--She said, they would serve her time. COWPER--As to this piece of evidence, if your lordship pleases, I desire it may be particularly taken notice of; it was her head-dress that she said would serve her time. Pray, Mr. Taylor, was you at Mr. Barefoot's when I came there on Monday morning? JOSEPH TAYLOR--Yes; I went up stairs with you into your chamber. COWPER--Pray, what did I say to Mr. Barefoot? JOSEPH TAYLOR--You asked him if they had received a letter from your brother, and he said, No, not that he knew of, but he would call his wife, and he did call his wife, and asked her if she had received a letter, and she said, No; then said you, I will take up this lodging for mine; and accordingly you went up stairs, and I went with you, and staid there about four times as long as I have been here. COWPER--Are you very sure that I said, I would take up my lodgings there? JOSEPH TAYLOR--Yes, I am very sure of it. HATSELL, BARON--What time of the day was it? JOSEPH TAYLOR--It was the fore part of the day; while I was there, my lord, Mrs. Sarah Stout's maid came to invite Mr. Cowper to her house to dinner. COWPER--Did you know anything of my sending to the coffee-house? JOSEPH TAYLOR--You sent to the coffee-house for your things. HATSELL, BARON--Did Mr. Cowper use to lie at Mrs. Barefoot's? JOSEPH TAYLOR--His brother did, but I do not know whether this gentleman did, but at that time he took up that place for his lodging; and said, it was all one, my brother must pay for it, and therefore I will take it up for myself. COWPER--Call Mrs. Barefoot and her maid. [But they not presently appearing,] COWPER--My lord, in the meantime I will go on to the other part of my evidence, in opening of which I shall be very short.
