The deposition made by Mrs. Strugnell at the inquest on the
body was in substance as foUows : —

" On the afternoon in question she had, in accordance with
her usual custom, proceeded to town. She called on her aunt,
took tea with her, and afterwards went to the Independent
Chapel. After service, she called to see Miss Wilson, but was
informed that, in consequence of a severe cold, the young lady
was gone to bed. She then immediately proceeded homewards,
and consequently arrived at Craig Farm more than an hour
before her usual time. She let herself in with her latch key,
and proceeded to her bedroom. There was no light in Mr.
Wilson's chamber, but she could hear him moving about in it.
