away.
My mistress came into the Barrack and asked me if I had, according to her order, given the Prisoner something to eat. I said I had. She then said she wanted to eat something . I set before her bread & some butter and a dish of tea. She ate & drank was drinking the Tea when the prisr came into the Barrack and stabbed her.
When she ordered me to give some victuals to the prisoner, she did not say what victuals, nor she did not say anything about dressing it.
I gave him bread and butter, tea and cold roast meat. He ate meat and drank tea after it; nothing else.
I can’t tell whether he was sober or no, he appeared to me as he did every day.
I know what Majoon is. It is made of molasses and Bang.
I never prepared any for my mistress, nor did she ever take any such thing. I never saw, nor heard, that she had any such thing prepared for herself, or for any body else.
I do not know, nor have I any reason to believe, that my mistress ever gave any intoxicating thing to the prisoner.
