Hampshire Advertiser: Saturday 13th July 1895

Ellen Pinsent, formerly chambermaid at the Grand Hotel, Plymouth, said that when the parties stayed there Mr. Paton occupied a bedroom opposite Mrs. Tasker’s. Two- or three-nights Mr. Paton’s bed had not been occupied. She had once seen Mr. Paton coming out of Mrs. Tasker’s bedroom, and thought they were married people. The bed looked as if two people had occupied it. Cross-examined, witness said she did not know that the gentleman some nights went to Torquay. It was about seven in the evening that she saw the gentleman coming out of the bedroom, and Brown gave similar testimony as to the beds. From the appearance of a bed, she could tell how long it had been slept in (laughter). A waiter from the same hotel said he had seen Mr. Paton go into Mrs. Tasker’s room dozens of times about seven o’clock in the evening.

Mr. Tasker as “McGoosley”: Further Evidence To-day: The hearing of the Tasker Divorce suite was resumed this morning, Mr. Tasker cross-examined, said he taunted his wife with being a butcher’s daughter, because she wanted to make out she had so many swell friends. He accompanies his wife to one of the masquerade balls, dressed as Mr. McGoosley, in Ally Sloper (laughter). Miss Tasker deposed to stopping at hotels with Mrs. Tasker when Paton was there. Mrs. Tasker was always about with one man or the other. Witness never saw any act of familiarity or impropriety either with Mr. Paton or Lowe.
