Mr. GRAIN.--"What rooms had you at Little College Street?"
WITNESS.--"One bedroom, but it was sub-divided and I believe there was generally a bed in each division."
Mr. GRAIN.--"You had a good many visitors?"
Sir FRANK LOCKWOOD.--"Did Charles Mavor stay with you then?"
WITNESS.--"When I first went there, in 1892."
Sir FRANK.--"Do you remember going through a form of marriage with Mavor?"
Sir FRANK.--"Did you tell Parker you did?"
Sir FRANK.--"Did you not place a wedding-ring on his finger and go to bed with him that night as though he were your lawful wife?"
WITNESS.--"It is all false. I deny it all."
Sir FRANK.--"Did you ever sleep with Mavor?"
WITNESS.--"I think I did the first night--after, he had a separate bed."
Sir FRANK.--"Did you induce Mavor to attire himself as a woman?"
Sir FRANK.--"But there were articles of women's dress at your rooms?"
WITNESS.--"No. There was a fancy dress for a female, a theatrical costume."
WITNESS.--"I put it on once by way of a lark."
WITNESS.--"I wore it once, too, at a fancy dress ball."
Sir FRANK.--"I suggest that you often dressed as a woman?"
Sir FRANK.--"You wore, and caused Mavor afterwards, to wear lace drawers--a woman's garment--with the dress?"
WITNESS.--"I wore knicker-bockers and stockings when I wore it at the fancy dress ball."
Sir FRANK.--"And a woman's wig, which afterwards did for Mavor?"
WITNESS.--"No, the wig was made for me. I was going to a fancy-ball as 'Dick Whittington'."
Sir FRANK.--"Who introduced you to the Parkers?"
WITNESS.--"A friend named Harrington at the St. James's Restaurant."
Sir FRANK.--"You invited them to your rooms?"
Sir FRANK.--"You were acquainted with a young fellow named Mason?"
WITNESS.--"Two or three times only, I think."
Sir FRANK.--"Did you induce him to commit a filthy act with you?"
Sir FRANK.--"He has written you letters?"
Sir FRANK.--"The Solicitor General proposes to read one."
Let me have some money as soon as you can. I would not ask you for it if I could get any myself. You know the business is not so easy. There is a lot of trouble attached to it.
Come home soon, dear, and let us go out together sometimes. Have very little news. Going to a dinner on Monday and a theatre to-night.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL.--(Severely) "I ask you, Taylor, for an explanation, for it requires one, of the use of the words "come home soon, dear", as between two men."
