Then  Ann  Spackman  was  called  in,  and  being  sworn,  was
examined  as  to  Mrs.  Moreau^s  living  in  a  course  of  adultery  with
one  George  Smedley,  a  harness-maker,  and  gave  an  account  that  she
knew  the  said  George  Smedley  and  Mrs.  Moreau  for  five  or  six
years,  and  that  they  lived  together  as  man  and  wife,  and  that  she
has  often  seen  them  in  bed  together.  Cross-examined  by  the
counsel  against  the  bill,  as  to  Mr.  Moreau's  being  reported  to  be
dead ;  stated  that  Mrs.  Moreau  went  by  the  name  of  Smedley,  and
told  witness  that  her  husband,  Mr.  Moreau,  was  dead  ;  that  she  had
written  to  him  as  many  letters  as  her  apron  would  hold,  and  never
received  any  answer ;  and  that  she  had  made  inquiry  after  him
several  times  at  the  War  Office,  but  could  hear  nothing  of  him ;
and  that  it  was  reported  he  died  about  two  years  after  he  went
abroad,  and  that  his  father  and  mother  went  in  mourning  for
him.
