I do not speak of the heart; you are only desired to say whether those agitations of body and mind which Miss Blandy showed at this time did not seem to you to arise entirely from a tender concern for her father?—­Since you oblige me, sir, to speak to this particular, I must say that all the agitation of body and mind which Miss Blandy showed at this time, or any other, when I was with her, seemed to me to arise more from the apprehension of unhappy consequences to herself than from a tender and hearty concern for her father.

Did you never, then, observe in her any evident tokens of grief for her father?—­I never thought I did.

Did she never wish for his recovery?—­Often.

Did not you think that those wishes implied a concern for him?—­I did not, because I had before told her that if he died soon she would inevitably be ruined.

When did you tell her this?—­On Sunday morning, the 11th August, just before I left Henley.

Did not she desire you that morning, before you quitted his room, to visit him again the next day?—­Yes.

And was she not very solicitous that you should do him all the service in your power?—­I cannot say that I discovered any solicitude in her on this score till Monday night, the 12th August, after she was confined, and her keys and other things had been taken from her.

KING’S COUNSEL—­Did you, Dr. Addington, attend Susan Gunnell in her illness?—­Yes, sir, but I took no minutes of her case.

Did her symptoms agree with Mr. Blandy’s?—­They differed from his in some respects, but the most material were manifestly of the same kind with his, though in a much less degree.

Did you think them owing to poison?—­Yes.

Did you attend Ann Emmet?—­Yes, sir.

To what cause did you ascribe her disorder?—­To poison, for she told me that, on Wednesday morning, the 7th August, very soon after drinking some gruel at Mr. Blandy’s, she had been seized with prickings and burnings in her tongue, throat, and stomach, which had been followed by severe fits of vomiting and purging; and I observed that she had many other symptoms which agreed with Mr. Blandy’s.

Did she say that she thought she had ever taken poison before?—­On my telling her that I ascribed her complaints to poison, which she had taken in gruel at Mr. Blandy’s on the 7th August, she said that, if she had been poisoned by drinking that gruel at Mr. Blandy’s, she was sure that she had been poisoned there the haytime before by drinking something else.

ALICE EMMET, examined—­My mother is now very ill, and cannot attend; she was charwoman at Mr. Blandy’s in June last; she was taken very ill in the night with a vomiting and reaching, upwards and downwards.  I went to Miss Blandy in the morning, by her desire, to see if she would send her something, as she wanted something to drink, saying she was very dry.  Miss said she would send something, which she did in about two hours.
