Deposition of Samuel Gillam Mills, of Greenwich, Surgeon.

I am a Surgeon at Greenwich; have been in partnership with Mr. Edmeades since 1800. Before he was my partner, I attended the Princess of Wales's family, from the time of her coming to Blackheath from Charlton. I was appointed by the Princess, her Surgeon, in April, 1801, by a written appointment, and from that time I never attended Her Royal Highness, or any of the servants, in my medical capacity, except that I once attended Miss Gouch, and once Miss Millfield. There was a child brought to the Princess while I attended her. I was called upon to examine the child. It was a girl. It must have been in 1801, or thereabouts. The child afterwards had the measles, and I attended her. When first I saw the child, I think it must have been about ten months old. It must have been prior to April, 1801. I understood that the child was taken through charity. I remember that there was a female servant, who attended in the coffee-room. I never said to that woman, or to any other person, that the Princess was with child, or looked as if she was with child; and I never thought so, or surmised any thing of the kind. I was once sent for by Her Royal Highness to bleed her. I was not at home, and Mr.

Edmeades bled her. I had bled her two or three times before; it was by direction of Sir Francis Millman. It was for an inflammation she had on the lungs. As much as I knew, it was not usual for the Princess to be bled twice a year. I don't know that any other medical person attended her at the time that I did, nor do I believe that there did. I don't know that Sir Francis Millman had advised that she should be blooded, at the time that I was sent for, and was not at home, nor what was the cause of her being then blooded. I do recollect something of having attended the servant who was in the coffee-room, for a cold, but I am sure I never said to her that the Princess was with child, or looked as if she was so. I have known that the Princess has frequently sent to Mr. Edmeades for leeches. When I saw the female child, Mrs. Sander was in the room, and some other servants, but I don't recollect who. I was sent for to see whether there was any disease about the child to see whether it was a healthy child, as Her Royal Highness meant to take it under her patronage. The child could just walk alone. I saw the child frequently afterwards. It was at one time with Bidgood, and another time with Gosden and his wife. I don't recollect that the Princess was by, at any time when I saw the child. I never saw the child in Montague House when I attended it as a patient, but when 1 was first sent for, to see if the child had any disease, it was in Montague House.

Mr.

I HAVE lived twelve years with the Princess of Wales next October. I am in the coffeeroom. My situation in the coffee-room, does not give me opportunities of seeing the Princess. I don't see her sometimes for months. Mills attended me for a cold, He asked me if the Prince came to Blackheath backwards and forwards, or something to that effect; for the Princess was with child, or looked as if she was with child. This must have been three or four years ago. It may have been five years ago. think it must have been some time before the child was brought to the Princess. I remember the child being brought. It was brought into my rooin. I had orders sent to me to give the mother arrow root, with directions how to make it, to wean the child, and I gave it to the mother, and she took the child away. Afterwards the mother brought the child back again. Whether it was a week, ten days, or a fortnight, I cannot say, but it might be about that time. The second time the mother brought the child, she brought it into my room. I asked her, how a mother could part with her child. I am not sure which time I asked this. The mother cried, and said she could not afford

to keep it. The child was said to be about four months old when it was brought. I did not particularly observe it myself.

FRANCES LLOYD.

I was at Ramsgate with the Princess in 1803. One morning when we were in the house at East Cliff, somebody, I don't recollect who, knocked at my door, and desired me to get up to prepare breakfast for the Princess. This was about six o'clock: I was asleep. During the whole time I was in the Princess's service, I had never been called up before to make breakfast for the Princess. I slept in the housekeeper's room on the ground floor. I opened the shutters of the window for light. I knew at that time, that Captain Manby's ship was in the Downs. When I opened the shutters, I saw the Princess walking down the garden with a gentleman. She was walking down the gravel walk towards the sea. No orders had been given me over night to prepare breakfast early. The gentleman the Princess was walking with, was a tall man. I was surprised to see the Princess walking with a gentleman, at that time in the morning. I am sure it was the Princess. While we While we were at Blackheath, a woman at Charlton, of the name of Townley, told me that she had some linen to wash from the Princess's house. That the linen was marked with the appearance of * * * * The woman has since left Charlton, but she has friends there. I think it must have been before

the child was brought to the Princess, that the woman told us this. I know all the women in the Princess's house. I don't think that any of them were in a state of pregnancy, and if any had, I think I must have known it. I never told Cole that Mary Wilson, when she supposed the Princess to be in the library, had gone into the Princess's bed-room, and had found a man there at breakfast with the Princess; or that there was a great to-do about it, and that Mary Wilson was sworn to secrecy, and threatened to be turned away, if she divulged what she had seen.

The Deposition of Mary Ann Wilson.

I BELIEVE it will be ten years next quarter, that I have lived with the Princess of Wales, as house-maid; I wait on the ladies who attend the Princess. I remember when the child, who is now with the Princess, was brought there. Before it came, I heard say it was to come. The mother brought the child. It appeared to be about four months old, when it was brought. I remember twins being brought to the Princess, before this child was brought. I never noticed the Princess's shape to be different in that year, from what it was before. I never had a thought that the Princess was with child. I have heard it reported. It is a good while ago.
