Do you know the defendant, John Church?—Yes, by sight. How long have you known him?—About two or three years. What is he?—A preacher. Have you attended the congregation in the Chapel where he preaches?—Yes. And have you often seen him?—Oh, yes. Do you sleep generally at your masters house, or at your fathers?—At my father’s generally. Are there any occasions upon which you do sleep at your master’s house?—Yes. When is that?—When he goes out of town. When your master goes out of town, then you sleep at his house?—Yes. Where did Church reside? Where did he live?—He lived by his chapel. Where is that?—In St. George’s Fields. It comes out of the Borough-road. There he lived?—Yes. Now, did he at any time come to take up his abode at Mr. Patrick’s?—Yes. When was that?—The 25th of September, he came to sleep there that night. Do you know what was the occasion of his coming? Mr. GURNEY.—That must be of his own knowledge. Mr. BOLLAND.—Mr. Patrick will tell us.—I believe he came— Mr. GURNEY.—You must not tell us, Sir, unless you know it of your own knowledge. However, he came to sleep there?—Yes. Did you sleep there that night?—Yes. Was that the first night he came?—I don’t know whether he had been there before. I cannot say whether I had seen him there before. You know that he slept there on the 25th of September, and that you were there?—Yes. Where was your master that night?—He was out of town; but where, I cannot say. Who slept in the house that night?—Mr. Church, my mistress, the children, and the two maid servants. Was there any other man in the house, except yourself and Church?—No. Where was your bed room?—The front parlour on the first floor. That is the ground floor?—It is over the kitchen. Is that a bed-room in common in the house?—No, it is not. Then how came you to sleep there?—Because there was not any other bed-room that I could sleep in. Was a temporary bed therefore put up for you there?—Yes. Now, at what time did you retire to rest?—Near one o’clock. What had kept you up so late?—There was a kiln burning, and I was obliged to sit up to let the man into the kiln when he came. Was it necessary for you to sit up to attend that kiln?—Yes; and to give the key to the man. Who was that man?—Thomas West. And you went to bed about one o’clock?—Yes. Did you go to sleep?—Yes; directly I went to bed. After you had been asleep, did any thing happen to you?—Yes. State what it was?—I had not been asleep more than half an hour, before I was awoke by some one putting his hands under the bed clothes, and laying hold of my private parts. In what way?—Laid hold of me very tight. Did you say any thing, or did the person, whoever it was, say any thing to you?—Yes. I put my hand out of the bed clothes, and caught hold of him, and asked him who he was? What did you say?—I asked him who he was—I said who are you? And you say you laid hold of him?—Yes.
