DELL--None at all that I could see; but there was some small matter of froth came from her mouth and nostrils. JURYMAN--My lord, I desire to know whether her stays were laced. DELL--Yes, she was laced. COWPER--How was she taken out of the water? DELL--My lord, we stood upon the bridge, I and another man, where she lay, and he laid hold of her and took her out. JONES--And did you not perceive she was hung? DELL--No, my lord. _John Ulfe_ saw Mrs. Stout when she was taken out of the water; she lay there on one side; there was nothing at all to hold her up; she lay between a couple of stakes, but the stakes could not hold her up. _Katherine Dew, Edward Blackno, William Edmunds, William Page, William How, and John Meager_ all gave the same account of the position and state of the body, Dew and Ulfe adding that her shoes and stockings were not muddy. JONES--Now, my lord, we will give an account how she was when she was stript, and they came to view the body. Call John Dimsdale, junior. (Who was sworn.) DIMSDALE--My lord, I was sent for at night on Tuesday the last assizes. COWPER--My lord, if your lordship pleases, I have some physicians of note and eminency that are come down from London; I desire that they may be called into Court to hear what the surgeons say. HATSELL, BARON--Ay, by all means. COWPER--My lord, there is Dr. Sloane, Dr. Garth, Dr. Morley, Dr. Gilstrop, Dr. Harriot, Dr. Wollaston, Dr. Crell, Mr. William Cowper, Mr. Bartlett, and Mr. Camlin. [Who respectively appeared in Court.] JONES--Give an account how you found Mrs. Stout. HATSELL, BARON--You are a physician, I suppose, Sir? DIMSDALE[45]--A surgeon, my lord. When I was sent for to Mrs. Stout's, I was sent for two or three times before I would go; for I was unwilling after I heard Mrs. Stout was drowned; for I thought with myself, what need could there be of me when the person was dead? but she still sent; and then I went with Mr. Camlin, and found a little swelling on the side of her neck, and she was black on both sides, and more particularly on the left side, and between her breasts up towards the collar-bone; and that was all I saw at that time, only a little mark upon one of her arms, and I think upon her left arm. JONES--How were her ears? DIMSDALE--There was a settling of blood on both sides the neck, that was all I saw at that time. JONES--How do you think she came by it? DIMSDALE--Truly I only gave an account just as I say now to the gentlemen at that time, I saw no more of it at that time, but about six weeks after the body was opened by Dr. Phillips---- COWPER--My lord, he is going to another piece of evidence and I would ask him---- JONES--Let us have done first; how was her ears?
