witness) — Can you undertake to 

 swear whether you compared the

Examination continued. Wit- 

 ness saw Mrs. Harrower in the 

 November 1813, pre- 

 his leaving India for 

 She was then residing 

 at the house of a Mr. Cook, a re- 

 lation of hers at Bombay. Wit- 

 ness received three letters of Mrs. 

 Harrower's, which were delivered 

 to him by Mr. Cook. These he 

 brought over with him to Eng- 

 land,, and delivered them to one 

 Giblett, a butcher, whom he un- 

 derstood to be the father of Cap- 

 tain Harrower's last wife. This 

 was in June 1814. Prior to the 

 first examination of Captain Har- 

 rower at Bow-street, the latter 

 called upon him, ond requested 

 liim not to give evidence against 

 him. The witness told him on 

 that occasion that he had seen his 

 wife at the house of Mr. Cook, 

 previous to his leaving India. 



Cross-examined by Serjeant 

 Best. — Witness communicated all 

 his information in July 1814 to 

 Giblett. During the year 1815, 

 he was never called upon to give 

 evidence against Captain Har- 

 rower. Witness had heard that 

 Giblett was insolvent. Mis. Har- 

 rower, in India, was a lunatic, at 

 sometimes wild. When he left 

 Bombay, howcvei', she was per- 

 fectly quiets and had no doubt 

 she was the person who was once 

 called Miss Majy Usher. 



Lionel Thompson knew Capt. 

 Hanowcr, and had seen him 

 ■write frcquentlj , [Here the wit- 

 ness was shown nree letters, 

 which he identified as the haud- 



wiiting of Captain Harrower.] 

 Witness, about the close of the 

 year 1814, was asked by Captain 

 Hariower to accompany him to 

 Calais, stating his wish to leave 

 the country, as there was a con- 

 spiracy against his life, on account 

 of his being married twice ; a cir- 

 cumstance which he (Captain H.) 

 declared to be ns untrue as Heaven 

 M as just. After this assertion he 

 accompanied him to France. 

 Allien they were walking upon 

 the pier of Calais, witness again 

 put the question to him respect- 

 ing his first marriage, and asked 

 him if his first wife were really 

 living or no. Captain Harrower, 

 after some hesitation, confessed 

 that she was still alive. Witness 

 then advised him never to return 

 to England, but he had known him 

 to have come to England twice 

 before his apprehension. 



Cross-examined by Serj. Best. 

 — Witness was not a creditor un- 

 der the commission of bankruptcy 

 against Giblett. He had no quar- 

 rel with Captain Harrower, but 

 the latter had withdrawn liimself 

 from his acquaintance. The com- 

 munication made to him by Cap- 

 tain Harrower at Calais he made 

 known to several persons soon 

 after his return from that place. 

 He might have knov.n Giblett 

 previous to his going to France. 

 He had frequently called upon 

 Giblett ; it uiight be en passunt. 

 Witness admitted he had dined 

 with Giblett years before his 

 daughter was married to Captain 

 Harrower. He did not reveal 

 the conversation he had had Avitli 

 C^aptain Hiurower, when he gave 

 his deposition at Bow-street 

 against him, because he was not 

 asked the question. Witness did.
