Whatever weight might attach to these gloomy prognostications of the mysterious Mrs. Morgan, it became obvious that from about that date Francis Blandy's health began to fail. He was in the sixty-second year of his age, and he suffered the combined assault of gout, gravel, and heartburn.
Who hath not heard of Blandy's fatal fame, Deplor'd her fate, and sorrow'd o'er her shame?" The inimitable Letters of Horace Walpole contain, as might be expected, more than one mention of this cause célèbre.
Blandy's trade-prices, to which some 20 per cent, must be added for retail. 'Grand Old Oama de Lobos' is worth 70s., and the best Old Preserve wine 86s. The lowest price free on board is 23l, and the values rise from 40l. at four years old to 1OOl. at ten years old.
Blandy's in that time, and neither saw him nor the prisoner, but she was there on the Sunday afternoon, though she did not then mention anything of it. The next witness is Susan Gunnell, who tells you that she carried the pan of water gruel to Mrs. Mounteney's from Mr.
It appears from the correspondence that one Richard Lowe, the Mayor of Henley's messenger, had, shortly after Miss Blandy's committal, been despatched to Scotland with the view of apprehending the Hon. William Henry Cranstoun as accessory to the murder. From the address on Mary's intercepted letter, Cranstoun was believed to be in Berwick, and Lowe applied to Mr.
I heard her say she had a quarrel, and was to go away several times. Who was by at this time? Mary Banks was by, and Nurse Edwards, and Mary Seymour, and I am not sure whether Robert Harman was there or not. How was it introduced?

How long had you lived there? A twelvemonth. What has been her general behaviour to her father during the time you were there? She behaved very well, so far as ever I saw, and to all the family. Did you ever hear her swear about her father? No, I never did. RICHARD FISHER, examined I was one of the jury on the coroner's inquest that sat on Mr. Blandy's body on Thursday, 15th of August.
Upon this Captain Cranstoun and the prisoner determined to remove that obstacle out of their way, and resolved to get as soon as possible into possession of the £10,000 that the poor man had unfortunately said he was worth. In order for this, the captain being at Mr. Blandy's house in August, 1750, they both agreed upon this horrid deed. And that people might be less surprised at Mr.
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.
Eight witnesses were called for the defence. Ann James, who washed for the family, stated that before Mr. Blandy's illness there was "a difference between Elizabeth Binfield and Miss Blandy, and Binfield was to go away." Mary Banks deposed that she was present at the time, and heard the words spoken. "It was the night Mr.
