Cross-examined--What are you?--I am sexton of the parish. On what night did Mr. Blandy die?--On the Wednesday night. How came you, as she was put under your care, to let her get away?--I was gone to dig a grave, and was sent for home; they told me she was gone over the bridge. Had you any talk with her about this affair?--She declared to me that Captain Cranstoun put some powder into tea one morning for Mr. Blandy, and she turned herself about he was stirring it in the cup. When did she tell you this?--In August, 1750. Have you seen her since she has been in Oxford Gaol?--I have. When the report was spread that the captain was taken I was with her in the gaol; a gentleman came in and said he was taken; she wrung her hands and said, "I hope in God it is true, that he may be brought to justice as well as I, and that he may suffer the punishment due to his crime as she should do for hers." PRISONER--Give me leave to ask the last witness some questions. COURT--You had better tell your questions to your counsel, for you may do yourself harm by asking questions. PRISONER'S COUNSEL--Did not the prisoner at the same time declare that as to herself she was totally innocent, and had no design to hurt her father?--At that time she declared that when Cranstoun put the powder into the tea, upon which no damage at all came, and when she put powder afterwards herself, she apprehended no damage could come to her father. When she spoke of her own suffering did she not mean the same misfortune that she then laboured under?--She said she should be glad Cranstoun should be taken and brought to justice; she thought it would bring the whole to light, he being the occasion of it all, for she suffered (by being in prison) and was innocent, and knew nothing that it was poison no more than I or any one person in the house. [Sidenote: T. Cawley] THOMAS CAWLEY, examined--I have known Miss Blandy twenty years and upwards, and her father likewise; I was intimate in the family, and have frequently drunk tea there. What was her behaviour to her father during your knowledge of her?--I never saw any other than dutiful. [Sidenote: T. Staverton] THOMAS STAVERTON, examined--I have lived near them five or six and twenty years and upwards, and was always intimate with them; I always thought they were two happy people, he happy in a daughter and she in a father, as any in the world. The last time she was at our house she expressed her father had had many wives laid out for him, but she was satisfied he never would marry till she was settled. Cross-examined--Did you observe for the last three or four months before his death that he declined in his health?--I observed he did; I do not say as to his health, but he seemed to shrink, and I have often told my wife my old friend Blandy was going. Had he lost any teeth latterly?--I do not know as to that; he was a good-looking man. PRISONER'S COUNSEL--How old was he?--I think he was sixty-two. [Sidenote: Mary Davis]
