Cross-examined by the LORD ADVOCATE--How do you recollect that it was Wednesday night more than any other night of that week? WITNESS--On the following Monday I heard that Mr. Brodie was suspected of being concerned in the breaking into the Excise Office; that his house had been searched for him; and that he had gone away on the Sunday. This made me particularly recollect, and also because it was the last night Mr. Brodie slept in my house. He slept with me that night. I have a family of children to him. I saw him again on the Saturday night afterwards, but not till then; and he was in my house in the forenoon of the Tuesday preceding. [Sidenote: Peggy Giles] 3. PEGGY GILES, servant to Mr. Graham, publican at Mutton-hole, near Edinburgh, called in and sworn. WITNESS--I was servant to Mrs. Watt, the preceding witness, last winter, and I remember that the prisoner, Mr. Brodie, came to my mistress’s house about eight o’clock at night of Wednesday, the 5th of March last, and that he slept there all night, and remained until about nine o’clock next morning. My mistress and Mr. Brodie supped together early, about half-an-hour after eight o’clock, on bread and beer and a piece of cheese, for which I was sent out soon after Mr. Brodie came in. I was out about ten minutes, and when I returned Mr. Brodie was still in the house. I remember when he came in to have heard the eight o’clock bell ringing. GENTLEMAN OF THE JURY--Was it the Magdalen Chapel bell you heard ringing? or what bell was it? WITNESS--It was the Tron Church bell. Cross-examined by the LORD ADVOCATE--Are you sure of that? WITNESS--I am very sure. Mr. WIGHT--Pray, where does the Tron Church stand? WITNESS--In the Parliament Close.[21] The LORD ADVOCATE--How do you know that Mr. Brodie slept all night in your mistress’s house? WITNESS--He was in bed when I arose in the morning, and I gave him water to wash his hands before he went out. The LORD ADVOCATE--Did you see Brodie in your mistress’s house at any other time during that week? WITNESS--He came back in the forenoon and again in the afternoon of the same day, that is of Thursday,[22] and likewise on the Saturday night following. Mr. Brodie was in use to sleep frequently at my mistress’s house. [Sidenote: Helen Alison] 4. HELEN ALISON or WALLACE, spouse to William Wallace, mason, in Libberton’s Wynd, called in and sworn.
