Q. When you went to the house, did you go back for any thing? A. Yes, for a pair of my child’s stockings. When looking for them, Burke told me “to keep out from there;” that is, from the straw. There was whisky then used. Burke threw it about, and said he wanted to get quit of it to get more. Burke then ordered me to put on some potatoes; and I went to reach under the bed for some, when Burke told me to come out of that, I might set the bed a-fire with my pipe. Q. Was Broggan there? A. Yes, during the day, and Burke desired he would sit there, on the chair next the straw, until he Burke came back again. Q. Did Broggan remain? A. No, he only stopped a few minutes. Q. Did Burke bid you clean the house? A. No; but I said it would be better to wash the floor, and put a little sand on it. Q. What did you do after Broggan went out? A. I went to look for Burke, but I could not find him. I went out again, and met him at the West Bow, he went to take a dram. Q. Did you discover a dead body in that house after Broggan went out? A. Yes. Q. Where did you find it? A. Under the straw at the foot of the bed. Q. Why did you go back? A. Because my suspicions were raised at seeing Burke throw the spirits about, and I was determined to see what it meant. The first thing I seized hold of, was the woman’s right arm. My husband took her up by the hair of the head, the body was naked, and there was blood on the nose and mouth. My husband went away before me; he met Mrs Burke on the stair, and told her what he had seen, and asked her about the body. She told him to hold his tongue, and it might be worth Ten Pounds a week to him. Q. Did you say any thing to Mrs Burke? A. Yes, I spoke to her about the body, and told her, that was the woman who was well, singing on the floor; and she bade me hold my tongue, and she would give me Five or Six Shillings. She repeated the words again, and said, if my husband would be quiet, it would be worth Ten Pounds a week to him. I said that I would not wish to be worth money got for dead people. Q. Did your husband give information after that to the police? A. Yes. Q. You saw the body there? A. Yes. Q. Was it the same? A. Yes. Q. Did you return with Mrs. Connaway to Burke’s? A. No, I sent her in, but did not go myself. Cross-Examined by Sir James Moncrieff. Q. Did you sleep in Burke’s house on Thursday night? A. Yes, on the bed of straw. Q. Did you continue there all the forenoon of Friday? A Yes, I never went out but for a stoup-full of water. Q. What time did you go to Hare’s? A. About dark. Q. Did any one ask you to come back to Burke’s that night? A. No, I thought as it was Halloween night they did not wish to have me amongst them. Q. Who went with you to Burke’s at the time you say you went for your child’s clothes? A. My husband. It was about nine o’clock, we did not stop many minutes. Q. Were they all making merry? A. Yes, they were dancing and singing.
