then at Norfolk house, in St James's 

 Square. Mr. Howard on that day 

 set orFfor lord Petre's atone o'clock, 

 and lady Elizabeth went away a lit- 

 tle before seven. She was going to 

 her father's, lord Fauconberg. The 

 witness accompanied lady Elizabeth 

 in her carriagje from Norfolk-house 

 to Mr. Gray's sliop ; when they ar- 

 rived there, lady Elizabeth deliver- 

 ed the witness a letter for her maid 

 at Norfolk- house. Her ladyship ne- 

 ver returned again. 



On cross examination shesaid she 

 then knew lady Elizabeth was go- 

 ing to be separated from her hus- 

 band, and that she was going to her 

 'father's ; she had seen her unhap- 

 py many times, but did not know 

 on what account. 



Sarah Scriven said, she lived with 

 Mr. Howard in the year 1780, as 

 lady Elizabeth's maid. She fully 

 confirmed the evidence of the last 

 witness. She saw lady Elizabeth on 

 the 29ih of November last at lord 

 Dungannon's, in Henrietta-street, 

 Cavendish square. Mr. Bingham 

 was in the house with her; she said 

 she lived with them. 



Mr. Erskine admitted, that lady 

 Elizabeth and Mr. Bingham had li- 

 ved a> husband and wife ever since 

 the 2lthof July last. 



The witness said, she was always 

 about her ladyship, and had an op- 

 portunity of seeingwhether she was 

 happy or otherwise. Lady Eliza- 

 beth appeared to the witness to be 

 very unhap|)y, and apparently very 

 much distressed ; she had frequent- 

 ly heard Mr. Howard and her lady 

 have words. The cause of lady E- 

 lizabeth's uneasiness was, her hav- 

 ingmarricd a manshcdisli'ied. Mr. 

 Howard and lady Elizabeth took 

 leave of caCh oilier on the 24st of 

 July, previous to their leaving Nor- 

 folk-house. Th< y were together a 



lone on that occasion for two hours 

 or more. Lady Elizabeth said tq 

 the witness, she had been taking 

 leave of Mr. Howard. She remem- 

 bered one night, about two years 

 ago, when they were at Suffolk, 

 that Mr. ?Ioward and lady Eliza- 

 beth sat up till three o'clock in the 

 morning. Her ladyship appeared 

 very much flurried and agitated. 

 Mr. Howard called the witness, and 

 lady Elizabeth told her, in the pre- 

 sence of Mr. Howard, that she had 

 had an hysteric fit. He brought her 

 some me.iicinesto relieve her. Lady 

 Elizabeth said she had been talking 

 to Mr. Howard, but she did not tell 

 the witness what. They were fre- 

 quently quarreling. This gentleman 

 and lady were very unhappy before 

 their final separation ; her ladyship 

 said, the cause of her unhappiness 

 v/as, that she had the misfortune to 

 be married to a man she did not 

 like. This she frequently told the 

 witness. She said, she never saw 

 Mr. Howard uselady Elizabeth ill; 

 and lady Elizabeth always behaved 

 extremely well to her servants. Mr. 

 Howard seemed to be jealous of 

 Mr. Bingham. 



John Pearson said, he was groom 

 to Mr. Bingham; he knew lady E- 

 lizabeth. He had seen his master 

 speak to her in her carriage ; and 

 then they have sometimes gone into 

 Kensington-gardens, and walked 

 together for ten minutes or half an 

 lijur. He might have seen tBem 

 do so four or five times. There were 

 more ladies with them. He said, 

 he ordered a cha'se on the 24lh of 

 July last, at four o'clock in the af- 

 ternoon, to be ready at six. Lady 

 Elizabeth came in that chaise to 

 Park-lane, and she and Mr. Bing- 

 ham set offiogether, and had lived 

 together ever shice. 



William Guthrie said, he was
