Sixth Witness for the King.
Jemmiat. – A Mahomedan. I know the prisoner I knew the woman whom he is said to have killed. I was her servant, her cook, but don’t know her name. She used to be called Serjeant Dogharty’s Bibi.
I remember her being killed. On that day in the dusk of the Evening after I had donecooking cooking, as my mistress was sitting in the open air she called me to her and ordered me to give some victuals to the prisoner: They had not ate together that day. The Prisoner was not present when she gave the order. I went and called him, and set victuals before him on a table in the Barrack. After he had eaten he went
away.
