MISS BERTHA AND THE YANKEE.
[PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS OF WITNESSES FOR THE DEFENSE, COLLECTED AT THE OFFICE OF THE SOLICITOR.] No.

1 .-- Miss Bertha Laroche, of Nettlegrove Hall, testifies and says:-- I.
TOWARD the middle of June, in the year 1817, I went to take the waters at Maplesworth, in Derbyshire, accompanied by my nearest relative--my aunt.
I am an only child; and I was twenty-one years old at my last birthday.
On coming of age I inherited a house and lands in Derbyshire, together with a fortune in money of one hundred thousand pounds.

The only education which I have received has been obtained within the last two or three years of my life; and I have thus far seen nothing of Society, in England or in any other civilized part of the world.

I can be a competent witness, it seems, in spite of these disadvantages.

Anyhow, I mean to tell the truth.
My father was a French colonist in the island of Saint Domingo.
