_By Lord Ellenborough_.—Then it was the day but one after, namely, the morning of the 27th that the boy made the communication to you?—Yes; my Lord. Did not see Foreman on the night of witness’s return—not to speak with him. On the morning of the 27th he made the communication to witness respecting this transaction. Witness told Foreman he was extremely sorry for what had happened. Witness had had many applications from the congregation, to whom he made it known. It was in consequence of the information they had received from general report, that they applied to witness for authentic information. Several of the congregation made those applications. There was a meeting upon the subject. In consequence of applications made to witness from the congregation, he went to the Defendant, Church. Thinks it was on the 9th of October. There had not before that been a meeting of the congregation, at which witness was present. Did not take any steps between the 27th of September to see Church, and the 9th of October, upon the subject. That was the first communication witness had with Church upon the subject. Church said to him, he took it extremely kind of witness in calling upon him. Witness told him he might take it as he pleased; that he did not come willingly, but that some of his congregation thought that witness ought to see him on the business. Patrick cannot say Church, appeared to be apprized of the subject before witness began; but believes he was apprized from what afterwards occurred. Witness told him he (witness) waited upon him, having seen a letter wherein he denied three particular points of the boy’s statement; and witness wished to know what those points were. He said that he denied having hold of the boy, or the boy having told of him; or he, Church, saying that he was the boy’s mistress. He admitted he was in the room, but denied laying hold of the boy’s private parts; did not state any reason for being in the room at all. He said that he denied three particular points, two of which witness had already named. The other was something that did not occur to witness to be important, and which he did not take any notice of, consequently does not remember it. Witness told him that, of these two points mentioned, the boy was positive, and witness had no reason to doubt any thing that the boy had said, as he had never known him to tell a lie. He said that he was sorry for it, because that confirmed _antient reports_; witness told him it did so; and, of course, that now he should believe all that he had heard heretofore. Witness then wished him a good morning. Did not see him at any time afterwards to speak to him; has seen him, but not spoken to him since. The letter that witness had seen, which he spoke to Church about, was a letter dated the 6th of October, addressed to a Mrs. Hunter. Witness took an exact copy of it. Mr. Harmer has it. Is that the copy? (_A paper put into the witness’ hand_.) Yes; it is an exact
