By Mr. BORLAND.—What did you state to him respecting the letter?—I told him I wished to know what the three things were which he could deny, as asserted by the boy? You don’t recollect the third point?—No. By Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—You say it is not material?—No, my Lord. By Mr. BOLLAND.—And you say he admitted being in the room, but denied the laying hold?—Yes. In what terms did he admit that he was in the room?—He said, “I was in the room; but I did not lay hold of the boy.” By LORD ELLENBOROUGH.—Did he say why he was in the room?—No, my Lord. What did you do with the letter of the 6th of October?—I returned it to Mrs. Hunter. From whom did you get it?—From Mrs. Hunter. And to Mrs. Hunter you returned it?—Yes. _Cross-examined by_ Mr. GURNEY. You mean to say that he said distinctly to you that he was in the room?—Yes. Did you mention to any person after you had seen Mr. Church, that he was not implicated in the affair at all?—No.—That _I_ said _he_ was not implicated?—No! I never said any such thing. Did you give any person an account of the conversation you had with him, and accompany that account with this observation, “He is not at all implicated”?—Never. Not to any person?—No; not to any person. Did any person go with you to Mr. Church?—Mr. Thomas went to the door with me. Is he a friend of your’s?—He is no friend of mine. I had only seen him at the door. It was _his_ wife and mine that wished me to make the application to Mr. Church. Then Mr. Thomas went with you as far as the door, but did not go in with you?—No. Do you recollect having any conversation with Mr. Thomas, in which you told him what had taken place between you and Mr. Church?—I told him briefly what had transpired; it was very short what did transpire. And you told Mr. Thomas what had transpired at the interview with Mr. Church, when you came out?—Yes. Then did you tell Mr. Thomas that Mr. Church admitted having been in the room?—I think I did; but I am not very positive as to that point. I know I told him that Mr. Church said that he did not lay hold of the boy. The question I wish to put to you is this—whether Mr. Thomas did not ask you this question, “Well, is there any thing against Mr. Church, or not?”—and whether you did not answer, “No, he is not at all implicated?”—I never made any such answer to him. Neither that, nor any thing conveying that meaning?—Never. By LORD ELLENBOROUGH.—You never did tell him, directly or indirectly, that there was nothing to implicate Mr. Church?—No, never. By Mr. GURNEY.—Did you either tell Mr. Thomas, or any other person that you would prosecute Mr. Church, because he had said disgraceful things of your wife?—I did; but not for this crime, but for defamation of my wife’s character.
