Cl

Set
Sir

Parkyns
to
the
Bar
(
which
was
done
.
)
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
Hold
up
thy
Hand
.
Parkyns
,
My
Lord
,
if
you
please
,
I
humbly
beg
the
favour
of
one
word
before
I
am
Arraigned
.
My
Wife
coming
to
see
me
in
my
Distress
,
sent
up
a
Trunk
of
Linnen
for
our
use
,
and
the
Sheriffs
of
London
have
seized
it
,
and
do
detain
it
.
It
has
Linnen
in
it
,
and
all
her
necessary
things
,
and
all
things
have
been
torn
from
me
,
since
I
was
Apprehended
,
but
what
is
there
.
I
have
nothing
to
subsist
upon
but
what
is
there
,
for
no
Money
can
I
get
from
any
body
,
no
body
will
pay
us
a
farthing
.
Mr.
Sh.
Buckingham
,
My
Lord
,
We
were
sent
for
to
Mr.
Secretary
Trumball's
Office
,
and
when
we
came
there
,
there
was
a
Trunk
that
had
been
seized
as
belonging
to
Sir
William
Parkyns
;
and
when
we
came
thither
it
was
opened
,
and
there
was
in
it
some
Houshold
Linnen
,
and
some
Plate
;
and
Mr.
Secretary
Trumball
was
pleased
after
having
searched
the
Trunk
,
to
Seal
it
up
,
and
Deliver
it
to
my
Brother
and
me
,
to
be
kept
;
and
this
is
all
we
know
of
it
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Where
was
this
Trunk
Seized
?
Mr.
Sh.
Buckingham
,
We
found
it
in
the
Secretaries
Office
,
and
it
was
Delivered
to
us
there
,
and
we
gave
a
Receipt
for
it
to
bring
it
down
again
when
called
for
;
we
did
not
Seize
it
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt
,
Look
ye
see
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
your
Trunk
was
Seized
I
suppose
in
order
to
search
for
Papers
.
Parkyns
,
Yes
,
I
believe
it
was
;
but
I
hope
it
shall
be
Delivered
back
now
,
they
have
found
nothing
in
it
,
and
I
have
nothing
else
to
subsist
upon
but
what
is
there
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Is
there
any
Plate
there
?
What
is
there
in
the
Trunk
?
Mr.
Sh.
Buckingham
.
There
is
some
Diaper
and
Damask
Linnen
,
a
Carpet
,
and
some
pieces
of
Plate
,
two
or
three
hundred
Ounces
of
Plate
,
for
ought
I
know
.
We
had
it
from
the
Secretaries
Office
;
we
did
not
seize
it
.
Then
the
Judges
consulted
among
themselves
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
He
ought
to
have
his
Plate
to
sell
,
to
support
him
that
he
may
have
Bread
.
Parkyns
.
Will
Your
Lordship
please
to
direct
the
Sheriff
to
deliver
it
back
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Well
,
some
care
or
other
shall
be
taken
in
it
.
Parkyns
.
My
Lord
,
I
have
nothing
to
subsist
upon
,
unless
I
can
make
something
of
what
is
there
;
I
have
a
Wife
,
and
four
Children
,
and
nothing
to
subsist
upon
.
L.
C.
Just.
Holt.
Let
your
Wife
make
application
for
it
at
the
Secretary's
,
it
cannot
now
be
done
here
.
Why
did
you
not
make
complaint
of
it
before
?
If
you
had
,
care
had
been
taken
in
it
.
Parkyns
.
I
was
told
there
was
a
Petition
;
for
,
my
Lord
,
I
was
a
close
Prisoner
,
and
they
told
me
there
was
a
Petition
;
but
my
Wife
never
mentioned
any
thing
of
it
to
me
while
afterwards
;
and
they
talk'd
of
an
Order
of
Council
that
they
had
for
the
Sheriff's
seizing
it
;
but
when
I
came
to
inquire
into
it
,
there
was
no
Order
about
it
,
but
only
to
search
and
examine
it
.
L.
C.
Just.
Holt.
Well
,
some
order
shall
be
taken
about
it
.
Mr.
Sh.
Buckingham
.
My
Lord
,
we
have
given
a
Receipt
to
the
Secretary
for
it
.
L.
C.
Just.
Holt.
But
he
must
have
wherewithal
to
subsist
and
buy
him
Bread
while
he
is
in
Prison
.
Mr.
Sh.
Buckingham
.
My
Lord
,
I
see
Mr.
Burleigh
there
,
who
was
Sir
John
Friend's
Sollicitor
;
I
would
humbly
move
your
Lordship
,
that
it
may
be
enquired
into
how
he
came
by
the
Pannel
of
the
Jury
Yesterday
;
for
it
seems
to
reflect
upon
us
,
as
if
we
had
given
the
Prisoner
a
wrong
Pannel
.
Mr.
J.
Rokeby
.
No
,
I
think
there
can
be
no
Reflection
upon
you
;
but
I
think
it
would
be
very
proper
to
have
the
matter
examined
.
L.
C.
Just.
Holt.
Aye
,
let
Burleigh
come
in
;
(
Which
he
did
.
)
Pray
,
how
came
you
by
that
Pannel
which
you
gave
to
Sir
John
Friend
?
Burleigh
.
My
Lord
,
I
had
Three
several
Copies
sent
me
by
Sir
John
Freind's
Friends
,
to
the
Horn
Tavern
about
three
or
four
a
clock
,
and
I
delivered
one
of
them
to
Sir
John
Freind
;
but
he
had
one
before
I
delivered
mine
.
L.
C.
Just.
Holt.
Who
sent
them
to
you
,
or
brought
them
to
you
?
Burleigh
.
I
had
them
brought
to
me
by
a
Porter
.
Mr.
Baker
.
You
know
you
might
have
had
it
from
the
proper
Officer
for
asking
.
Burleigh
.
I
had
them
brought
me
from
Sir
John
Friend's
Friends
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Can
you
tell
who
had
it
from
the
Sheriff
?
Burleigh
.
My
Lord
,
I
know
not
:
I
had
Three
Copies
sent
me
in
a
quarter
of
an
hours
time
;
whence
they
came
,
I
know
not
;
the
Sheriff
knows
me
,
and
every
body
else
.
Mr.
Sh.
Buckingham
.
I
do
know
you
,
and
would
have
you
be
fair
in
your
Practice
.
Mr.
Baker
.
The
Enquiry
is
made
,
because
a
false
Copy
is
put
upon
him
;
you
might
have
had
a
true
Copy
if
you
had
applied
your self
right
.
Burleigh
.
I
sent
to
Mr.
Farringdon
for
it
.
L.
C.
Just.
Holt.
The
Sheriff
delivered
it
the
Secondary
,
who
is
the
proper
Officer
.
Mr.
J.
Rokeby
.
Sir
John
Friend
said
,
he
had
it
from
him
yesterday
.
Burleigh
.
But
he
had
one
before
;
how
he
came
by
it
,
I
can't
tell
;
nor
whence
those
came
that
were
brought
to
me
.
Mr.
J.
Rokeby
.
If
you
will
not
take
care
to
go
to
the
right
place
,
it
is
no
body's
fault
but
your
own
,
if
you
suffer
by
it
.
Burleigh
.
I
was
with
my
Lady
,
and
delivered
a
Petition
for
this
Trunk
.
L.
C.
Just.
Holt.
But
it
seems
it
was
under
the
Conuzance
of
the
Secretary
,
and
direction
was
given
to
go
thither
;
some
care
or
other
must
be
taken
in
it
,
and
shall
;
but
go
on
now
to
Arraign
the
Prisoner
.
Cl.

Hold

If

.
L.

Holt.
Aye
,
What
say
you
Sir
?
Parkyns
.
My
Lord
,
I
have
been
kept
in
hard
Prison
ever
since
I
was
Committed
,
no
Body
has
been
suffer'd
to
come
to
me
till
Fryday
last
,
then
my
Counsel
came
to
me
;
and
being
charg'd
with
many
Facts
as
I
see
in
this
Indictment
,
it
will
be
necessary
to
have
divers
Witnesses
to
clear
my self
of
these
Particulars
;
they
are
dispers'd
up
and
down
,
and
I
have
had
no
time
to
look
after
them
,
and
therefore
I
beg
your
Lordship
to
put
off
my
Tryal
till
another
Day
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
When
had
you
first
notice
of
your
Tryal
?
Parkyns
.
The
first
Notice
of
my
Tryal
was
on
Wednesday
last
,
in
the
Afternoon
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
That
is
a
sufficient
time
of
Notice
,
sure
you
might
have
provided
your
Witnesses
,
and
prepar'd
for
it
by
this
Time
.
Parkyns
.
But
,
my
Lord
,
being
kept
so
close
Prisoner
,
I
had
no
Opportunity
for
it
;
for
it
was
not
possible
for
me
to
get
any
Body
to
come
to
me
,
till
Friday
Noon
,
not
so
much
as
my
Counsel
,
and
then
there
was
but
Two
Days
,
Saturday
and
Monday
,
(
for
Sunday
is
no
Day
for
any
Business
)
and
it
is
impossible
for
me
to
be
ready
in
the
Manner
that
I
ought
to
be
.
It
is
a
perfect
Distress
,
and
Hardship
upon
me
,
to
be
put
so
soon
upon
my
Tryal
,
without
my
Witnesses
,
and
what
should
enable
me
to
make
my
Defence
;
therefore
I
humbly
intreat
your
Lordship
to
put
it
off
till
another
Day
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
What
Witness
do
you
want
,
Sir
William
?
Parkyns
.
I
have
divers
Witnesses
,
my
Lord
,
that
can
give
an
Account
where
I
was
from
Time
to
Time
,
but
they
are
many
of
them
out
of
Town
,
and
I
have
sent
about
every
way
,
but
cannot
get
them
together
in
so
short
a
Time
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
When
had
he
Notice
of
his
Tryal
?
Mr.
Baker
.
On
Wednesday
I
told
him
that
he
must
expect
to
be
try'd
this
Day
,
and
withal
,
that
if
he
would
name
me
any
Counsel
,
that
he
would
have
come
to
him
,
he
should
have
an
Order
next
Morning
for
them
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
You
were
told
,
it
seems
,
on
Wednesday
that
you
might
have
what
Counsel
you
would
.
Mr.
Baker
.
And
he
had
an
Order
upon
Thursday
Morning
for
his
Counsel
.
Parkyns
.
I
could
not
have
it
without
Application
to
the
Court
at
White
Hall
,
and
could
have
no
body
come
to
me
till
Thursday
,
and
it
was
Fryday
before
I
could
get
my
Counsel
to
me
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
You
might
have
sent
for
your
Witnesses
on
Thursday
,
and
imploy'd
some
body
about
that
Matter
then
.
Parkyns
.
The
Solicitor
that
I
employ'd
was
imployed
otherways
,
and
I
could
not
employ
any
body
else
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Yes
,
you
might
have
employed
any
other
about
that
Business
.
Parkyns
.
I
had
no
body
to
send
,
I
was
kept
close
,
and
no
body
permitted
to
come
to
me
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Your
Solicitor
you
desir'd
had
Leave
to
come
to
you
.
Mr.
Baker
.
You
know
that
those
you
sent
for
,
you
had
an
Order
for
.
Parkyns
.
I
cou'd
not
get
him
till
Thursday
to
me
,
I
had
no
Messengers
to
send
till
then
.
Mr.
Baker
.
I
gave
the
Keeper
Direction
,
to
let
him
have
Persons
come
to
him
to
send
on
any
Errand
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
The
Keeper
had
Orders
,
it
seems
,
to
let
any
Messenger
come
to
you
,
and
he
would
have
help'd
you
to
some
body
to
send
of
this
Errand
to
be
sure
.
Keeper
.
I
always
did
it
,
as
soon
as
I
know
they
have
Notice
of
their
Tryal
.
Parkyns
.
But
the
Keeper
is
not
always
in
the
Way
,
and
besides
,
when
I
had
Notice
given
me
of
my
Tryal
,
it
was
Execution
Day
,
and
he
was
not
at
home
that
Day
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
He
names
no
Witnesses
,
only
he
says
he
has
divers
Witnesses
,
neither
is
there
any
Oath
made
of
any
Witnesses
:
Pray
how
long
is
it
since
you
were
Committed
?
Parkyns
.
I
was
Committed
this
Day
Fortnight
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Your
Commitment
charg'd
you
with
High
Treason
,
and
therefore
you
knew
what
you
stood
accus'd
of
,
were
you
not
committed
for
High
Treason
.
Parkyns
.
Yes
my
Lord
,
I
believe
I
was
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
My
Lord
,
he
had
a
very
fair
Time
to
prepare
for
his
Defence
,
for
he
saw
his
Name
in
the
Proclamation
a
good
while
before
he
was
taken
,
and
there
it
is
declar'd
,
what
he
stands
charg'd
with
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
You
might
have
had
a
Copy
of
your
Commitment
,
you
had
a
Right
to
have
it
,
and
thereby
you
might
have
seen
what
you
were
accused
of
.
Keeper
.
We
never
do
deny
it
,
if
it
be
demanded
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
You
cannot
deny
it
,
you
know
what
Penalty
you
are
under
if
you
do
.
Parkyns
.
No
body
was
permitted
to
come
to
me
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
You
might
have
ask'd
for
a
Copy
,
or
any
body
else
,
for
you
had
Notice
of
your
Tryal
so
long
ago
as
Wednesday
last
.
Mr.
Baker
.
I
gave
him
Notice
of
his
Tryal
on
Wednesday
,
and
then
told
him
he
must
prepare
for
it
against
this
Day
;
he
said
he
would
endeavour
to
Petition
for
a
longer
Time
,
I
told
him
it
would
be
in
Vain
,
for
he
must
prepare
for
his
Tryal
to
Day
,
and
could
have
no
longer
Time
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Sir
William
,
truly
we
do
not
see
any
Reason
to
put
off
the
Tryal
upon
these
Suggestions
.
Parkyns
.
My
Lord
,
it
is
very
hard
;
then
I
humbly
beg
I
may
have
the
Favour
,
that
I
may
have
Counsel
allow'd
me
,
I
have
no
skill
in
Indictments
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
We
cannont
allow
Counsel
.
Parkyns
My
Lord
,
if
I
have
no
Counsel
,
I
do
not
understand
these
Matters
,
nor
what
Advantage
may
be
Proper
for
me
to
take
in
these
Cases
.
L.
J.
Holt.
You
are
not
ignorant
,
Sir
William
,
that
Counsel
has
been
always
refused
when
desired
in
such
Cases
.
Parkyns
.
My
Lord
,
there
is
a
new
Act
of
Parliament
that
is
lately
made
,
which
allows
Counsel
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
But
that
does
not
commence
yet
,
Sir
William
.
Parkyns
.
My
Lord
,
it
wants
but
one
Day
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
That
is
as
much
as
if
it
were
a
much
longer
time
:
for
we
are
to
proceed
according
to
what
the
Law
is
,
and
not
what
it
will
be
.
Parkyns
.
But
it
is
declarative
of
the
Common
Law
,
because
it
says
it
was
always
just
and
reasonable
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
We
cannot
alter
the
Law
till
Law-makers
do
it
.
Parkyns
.
Will
your
Lordship
be
pleased
to
let
it
be
read
?
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Aye
,
if
you
have
a
Mind
to
it
,
it
shall
be
read

Parkyns

Yes

if

;
but
the
Law
stands
as
it
did
before
the
making
of
this
Act.
Parkyns
.
But
,
My
Lord
,
the
Law
says
it's
just
and
reasonable
that
it
should
be
so
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
We
go
according
to
the
Law
as
we
find
it
is
.
Parkyns
.
And
,
My
Lord
,
what
is
just
and
reasonable
to
Morrow
,
sure
is
just
and
reasonable
to
Day
,
and
your
Lordship
may
indulge
me
in
this
Case
,
especially
when
you
see
how
streight
Notice
I
have
had
,
and
what
a
little
time
has
been
allowed
me
,
that
I
am
not
able
to
make
my
defence
.
L
C.
J
Holt.
We
cannot
make
a
Law
,
we
must
go
according
to
the
Law
,
that
must
be
our
Rule
and
Direction
.
Parkyns
.
Yes
,
my
Lord
,
but
what
is
just
and
reasonable
,
sure
is
Law
:
the
Law
is
grounded
upon
Reason
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
The
Parliament
has
thought
fit
to
make
such
a
Law
,
which
is
to
commence
from
the
25th
of
this
Month
:
It
is
not
a
Law
till
the
time
comes
that
the
Parliament
hath
appointed
for
its
being
a
Law
.
Parkyns
.
But
,
my
Lord
,
if
my
Notice
had
been
a
convenient
Notice
,
I
had
been
within
the
time
limited
by
the
Act
of
Parliament
;
and
no
one
can
want
the
Advantage
of
that
Act
from
henceforward
,
nor
suffer
for
such
want
but
my self
,
which
is
a
particular
Hardship
upon
me
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
We
cannot
alter
the
Law
,
we
are
bound
by
our
Oaths
to
proceed
according
to
the
Law
as
it
is
at
present
.
Parkyns
.
Pray
,
my
Lord
,
let
the
Tryal
be
put
off
till
another
Day
then
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
You
shew
no
reason
for
it
;
you
name
no
Witnesses
that
you
want
,
nor
have
we
any
Oath
as
we
ought
to
have
in
such
a
Case
.
Parkyns
.
I
will
do
both
if
your
Lordship
will
oblige
me
to
it
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
There
ought
to
be
an
Oath
certainly
,
but
we
think
you
have
had
fair
and
convenient
Notice
:
For
you
have
had
as
much
Notice
as
Sir
John
Friend
had
,
who
was
tryed
Yesterday
.
Parkyns
.
As
I
am
informed
he
was
charged
with
single
Facts
about
the
Town
,
but
I
am
charged
with
many
particular
Things
more
than
he
was
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
The
Act
of
Parliament
says
nothing
of
Notice
of
Tryal
;
that
still
continues
as
it
was
before
;
and
you
have
had
very
convenient
Notice
:
Go
on
Mr.
Hardesty
to
swear
the
Jury
.
Cl.
of
Ar.
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
you
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
Those
Men
that
you
shall
hear
called
and
personally
appear
,
are
to
pass
between
our
Sovereign
Lord
the
King
and
you
upon
Tryal
of
your
Life
and
Death
;
if
therefore
you
will
challenge
them
or
any
of
them
,
you
are
to
speak
unto
them
as
they
come
to
the
Book
to
be
sworn
,
and
before
they
be
sworn
.
Parkyns
.
I
hope
your
Lordship
will
be
of
Counsel
for
me
then
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
So
we
will
,
we
will
do
you
all
the
Right
we
can
.
Look
ye
,
you
know
you
may
challenge
35
without
Cause
,
and
as
many
as
you
will
with
Cause
,
but
no
more
than
35
without
Cause
.

Sir
William
Parkyns
,
you
have
Challenged
two
,
and
have
assign'd
the
Cause
of
your
Challenge
,
that
is
,
Hancock
and
another
,
and
the
reason
of
your
Challenge
is
,
because
they
are
the
King's
Servants
.
I
am
to
acquaint
you
,
that
is
no
cause
of
Challenge
;
but
however
the
King's
Counsel
do
not
intend
to
insist
upon
it
,
if
there
are
enough
besides
.
They
are
willing
to
go
on
with
the
Pannel
;
and
I
speak
this
because
I
would
not
have
it
go
for
a
President
,
nor
have
it
understood
that
the
Cause
you
assign
is
a
good
Cause
:
but
however
they
will
not
stand
with
you
,
if
there
be
enough
to
serve
.
Parkyns

My
Lord
,
I
submit
to
it

No

there
are
but
Eleven
sworn
yet

But
how
far
have
I
gone
in
my
Challenges
?
Cl.
of

There
are
four
which
you
may
Challenge
more
.
Parkyns

There
are
two
allow'd
me
,
tho'
it
be
not
a
Precedent

Are
there
four

Yes

you
may

Sir
William

,
hold
up
thy
Hand
(
which
he
did
.
)
You
that
are
sworn
look
upon
the
Prisoner
,
and
hearken
to
his
Cause
:
he
stands
Indicted
by
the
Name
of
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
late
of
the
Parish
of
St.
Paul
Covent-Garden
,
in
the
County
of
Middlesex
,
Knight
,
that
whereas
(
prout
in
the
Indictment
,
mutatis
mutandis
,
)
and
against
the
Form
of
the
Statute
in
this
Case
made
and
provided
.
Upon
this
Indictment
he
hath
been
Arraign'd
,
and
thereunto
hath
Pleaded
not
Guilty
,
and
for
his
Tryal
hath
put
himself
upon
God
and
his
Country
,
which
Country
you
are
;
your
Charge
is
to
inquire
,
whether
he
be
Guilty
of
the
High-Treason
whereof
he
stands
Indicted
,
or
not
guilty
;
if
you
find
that
he
is
Guilty
,
you
are
to
inquire
what
Goods
,
and
Chattels
,
Lands
,
and
Tenements
,
he
had
at
the
Time
of
the
High-Treason
committed
,
or
at
any
time
since
:
If
you
find
him
not
Guilty
,
ye
are
to
inquire
whether
he
fled
for
it
;
if
you
find
that
he
fled
for
it
,
you
are
to
inquire
of
his
Goods
and
Chattels
,
as
if
you
had
found
him
Guilty
;
if
you
find
him
not
Guilty
,
nor
that
he
did
flye
for
it
,
you
are
to
say
so
,
and
no
more
,
and
hear
your
Evidence
.
Mr.
Montague
.
May
it
please
your
Lordship
,
and
you
Gentlemen
of
the
Jury
.
Parkyns
.
My
Lord
,
your
Lordship
was
pleas'd
to
say
you
would
be
my
Counsel
.
I
am
Ignorant
in
Matters
of
Indictments
,
I
beg
if
there
be
any
Fault
in
it
,
you
will
let
me
know
it
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Truly
I
have
observ'd
no
Fault
in
it
;
I
do
not
know
of
any
.
Mr.
Montague
.
Gentlemen
,
this
Indictment
does
contain
as
heavy
an
Accusation
,
as
can
be
laid
upon
any
Man
,
for
it
not
only
charges
the
Prisoner
with
a
Traiterous
design
of
subverting
the
Government
,
and
raising
War
and
Rebellion
within
the
Kingdom
;
which
was
to
be
done
by
adhering
to
the
King's
Enemies
,
and
promoting
a
Forreign
Invasion
,
but
likewise
with
a
Conspiracy
against
the
Life
of
the
King
,
which
was
to
have
been
taken
away
by
a
bloody
Assassination
.
Gentlemen
,
the
Indictment
sets
forth
,
That
Sir
Will
.
Parkyns
,
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
did
meet
several
times
with
Chernock
and
other
false
Traytors
;
and
there
it
was
consulted
,
and
agreed
how
they
should
procure
French
Forces
to
Land
within
this
Kingdom
,
and
then
they
were
to
raise
Rebellion
among
his
Majesty's
Subjects
,
to
joyn
with
the
Invadors
.
Mr.
Chernock
was
sent
from
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
and
the
rest
,
as
a
Messenger
into
France
,
unto
the
late
King
James
to
acquaint
him
with
this
Bloody
Design
;
and
to
desire
him
to
borrow
of
the
French
King
as
many
Troops
as
he
could
spare
to
make
a
Descent
upon
this
Kingdom
,
and
they
at
the
same
time
were
to
facilitate
the
Descent
,
by
getting
as
many
Men
as
they
could
to
make
the
Assassination
;
and
the
number
of
Forty
was
pitched
upon
,
who
were
to
be
provided
for
that
purpose
,
of
which
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
was
to
find
Five
,
who
were
to
lye
in
wait
with
the
rest
,
and
set
upon
the
King
as
he
came
along
in
his
Coach
upon
his
Return
from
Hunting
.
Some
were
to
assault
and
attack
the
Guards
,
while
others
were
barbarously
to
Assassinate
and
Murder
the
King
in
his
Coach
:
and
particularly
it
Charges
the
Prisoner
with
undertaking
to
procure
and
provide
Five
Horses
and
Arms
that
were
to
be
Imployed
in
this
Bloody
Assassination
,
and
also
with
gathering
together
great
Quantities
of
Arms
and
Ammunition
that
were
to
be
used
in
the
Insurrection
.
To
this
Indictment
the
Prisoner
has
pleaded
Not
Guilty
;
if
he
be
not
Guilty
,
God
forbid
he
should
be
Convicted
;
but
if
he
be
Guilty
,
and
we
prove
the
Fact
,
the
Nation
expects
that
you
will
do
Justice
to
the
King
and
Kingdom
,
and
find
him
so
.
Mr.
Attorn.
Gen.
May
it
please
your
Lordship
,
and
you
Gentlemen
of
the
Jury
,
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
stands
Indicted
of
High
Treason
,
for
Compassing
the
Death
of
his
Majesty
,
and
adhering
to
his
Majesty's
Enemies
;
and
the
Overt
Acts
laid
in
the
Indictment
to
prove
this
Treason
are
,
That
he
with
others
had
several
Meetings
and
Consultations
about
this
Design
,
and
sent
a
Messenger
over
to
France
to
the
late
King
James
,
to
procure
French
Forces
to
Invade
the
Kingdom
,
to
Depose
the
King
,
and
subject
the
Kingdom
to
a
French
Power
:
And
likewise
that
he
did
enter
into
a
Conspiracy
with
several
Persons
for
the
Assassination
of
his
Majesty's
Royal
Person
.
These
are
the
Overt
Acts
mentioned
in
the
Indictment
,
to
prove
this
Charge
of
Treason
against
the
Prisoner
.
Gentlemen
,
the
Evidence
to
prove
these
Overt
Acts
,
and
which
we
shall
produce
,
will
be
in
this
manner
.
It
will
appear
that
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
has
formerly
had
a
Commission
from
King
James
to
raise
a
Regiment
of
Horse
,
and
about
May
last
,
he
with
several
others
had
a
Meeting
at
the
Old
King's-head
in
Leadenhall-street
,
where
were
present
my
Lord
of
Aylesbury
,
my
Lord
Montgomery
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
Sir
John
Freind
,
Sir
John
Fenwick
;
Mr.
Chernock
,
Mr.
Porter
,
and
one
Mr.
Cook
;
and
Goodman
came
in
to
them
after
Dinner
.
And
at
that
Meeting
it
was
Consulted
and
Conserted
among
them
,
how
they
should
bring
back
the
late
King
James
,
and
Depose
his
present
Majesty
;
and
in
order
to
that
they
did
Resolve
to
send
Mr.
Chernock
as
a
Messenger
to
the
late
King
James
,
to
desire
him
to
obtain
from
the
French
King
10000
Men
to
Invade
this
Kingdom
;
8000
Foot
,
1000
Horse
,
and
1000
Dragoons
;
and
to
Incourage
the
late
King
to
this
,
they
did
assure
him
by
the
same
Messenger
,
that
they
would
meet
him
with
2000
Horse
upon
his
Landing
;
and
they
did
all
undertake
and
agree
that
they
would
do
it
:
and
Mr.
Chernock
undertook
to
go
of
this
Message
.
Gentlemen
,
about
a
Week
after
this
Meeting
,
Mr.
Chernock
not
being
willing
to
go
upon
this
Errand
without
a
good
Assurance
that
they
intended
to
perform
what
they
had
Resolved
upon
,
they
therefore
had
another
Meeting
of
most
of
the
same
Persons
that
were
at
the
former
,
and
particularly
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
was
one
;
and
that
was
at
Mrs.
Mountjoyes
a
Tavern
in
St.
James's-street
.
And
at
that
Meeting
they
did
all
agree
,
as
formerly
,
and
continued
in
their
former
Resolution
,
to
send
Mr.
Chernock
to
assure
the
late
King
,
that
they
would
meet
him
,
according
as
they
had
promised
,
if
he
would
give
them
notice
where
he
was
to
Land
,
and
he
should
not
fail
of
their
Assistance
.
And
at
these
Meetings
they
did
take
notice
,
that
then
was
the
most
proper
time
for
such
an
Invasion
;
for
the
King
was
gone
to
Flanders
,
most
of
the
Forces
were
drawn
thither
,
and
the
People
were
dissatisfied
,
and
so
it
would
be
the
fittest
opportunity
to
accomplish
their
Design
;
and
they
desired
Mr.
Chernock
to
make
haste
to
carry
this
Message
,
and
to
Intreat
King
James
that
he
would
be
speedy
and
expeditious
in
his
coming
,
that
they
might
not
loose
this
season
.
Gentlemen
,
after
these
Meetings
,
Mr.
Chernock
did
within
a
few
days
go
over
into
France
,
and
did
deliver
his
Message
to
the
late
King
James
,
who
took
it
very
kindly
,
but
said
that
the
French
King
could
not
spare
so
many
Forces
that
year
,
having
other
work
to
Imploy
them
about
:
upon
which
,
within
a
Months
time
,
or
less
,
he
came
back
again
,
and
brought
an
account
of
his
Message
to
those
Gentlemen
that
sent
him
.
This
was
in
May
or
June
last
,
and
so
the
further
prosecution
of
the
Design
ceast
at
that
time
.
But
Gentlemen
,
the
last
Winter
it
was
revived
again
,
and
attempted
,
and
carried
on
very
near
to
the
obtaining
a
fatal
Success
.
And
you
will
hear
that
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
has
had
too
great
a
hand
,
and
been
a
very
great
Instrument
in
both
the
Parts
of
this
wicked
Conspiracy
and
Treason
;
not
only
in
the
Invasion
,
which
he
with
others
sent
the
Messenger
over
to
pocure
,
but
also
in
the
other
part
,
the
blackest
part
,
even
the
Assassination
of
the
King's
Person
.
About
January
last
Sir
George
Barclay
,
a
Lieutenant
of
the
Guards
to
King
James
in
France
,
was
sent
over
into
England
to
ingage
Persons
to
joyn
in
the
Conspiracy
and
Assassination
;
and
for
his
Assistance
there
were
sent
over
with
him
,
and
before
and
after
him
,
some
20
Troopers
of
the
late
Kings
,
that
were
his
Guards
in
France
.
And
Sir
George
Barclay
to
incourage
the
Persons
that
were
to
joyn
,
and
whom
he
had
brought
over
with
him
,
pretended
an
Authority
to
justifie
it
,
that
is
,
a
Commission
from
the
late
King
James
,
and
he
Communicates
this
Design
to
Mr.
Chernock
,
Mr.
Porter
,
and
several
others
,
and
amongst
the
rest
to
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
having
a
great
Confidence
in
him
,
and
did
acquaint
him
he
had
such
a
Commission
,
and
he
shewed
it
him
,
and
that
Commission
was
to
levy
War
against
the
King's
Person
;
which
they
took
to
be
a
sufficient
Authority
for
them
to
Assassinate
the
King's
Person
.
Gentlemen
,
in
order
to
the
accomplishing
this
horrid
Conspiracy
,
there
were
several
Meetings
,
and
Consultations
had
,
at
which
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
was
present
,
and
very
active
.
Sometimes
they
met
at
Capt.
Porter's
Lodgings
,
at
another
time
at
the
Naggs-head
in
Covent-Garden
,
at
another
time
at
the
Sun
in
the
Strand
,
and
another
time
at
the
Globe
in
Hatton-Garden
,
in
order
to
accomplish
this
Design
:
And
at
these
Meetings
,
you
will
hear
,
they
did
propose
several
ways
and
methods
for
the
execution
of
it
;
and
several
Persons
,
particularly
one
of
them
that
have
suffered
the
Punishment
of
the
Law
for
this
,
were
appointed
to
go
and
view
the
Ground
where
the
King's
Person
might
most
conveniently
be
assaulted
.
Mr.
King
,
that
was
Executed
for
it
,
was
one
,
Capt.
Porter
was
another
,
and
one
Knightly
was
the
third
;
and
these
did
go
to
see
the
Ground
.
And
the
day
before
they
went
there
was
a
Meeting
,
at
which
was
present
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
and
others
,
wherein
't
was
concluded
upon
that
they
should
go
;
and
they
went
accordingly
to
see
the
most
convenient
place
for
it
.
They
went
to
Brentford
,
and
afterwards
to
the
other
side
of
the
Water
to
Richmond
,
and
survey'd
all
the
Ground
,
and
the
Place
they
pitch'd
upon
as
the
most
proper
for
their
purpose
,
was
when
his
Majesty
should
Return
from
Hunting
,
to
do
it
in
the
Lane
betwixt
Brentford
and
Turnham-Green
.
And
accordingly
,
when
they
return'd
in
the
Evening
,
they
came
by
appointment
to
the
place
where
the
rest
of
the
Accomplices
were
to
meet
,
at
the
Nagg's-head
Tavern
in
St.
James's
,
and
gave
an
account
of
ther
Proceedings
,
and
at
that
Meeting
likewise
was
Sir
William
Parkyns
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
Mr.
Chernock
,
and
several
others
,
and
upon
the
Report
of
Capt.
Porter
,
and
Mr.
King's
Expedition
,
they
did
Resolve
the
thing
should
be
done
in
that
place
,
and
that
it
should
be
done
in
this
manner
.
Sir
George
Barclay
with
about
8
or
10
in
his
Party
,
who
were
to
be
chosen
out
of
all
the
other
Parties
,
were
to
assault
the
King's
Coach
,
and
endeavour
to
kill
the
King
,
and
all
the
rest
that
were
in
the
Coach
with
him
,
whilst
the
others
,
in
two
Parties
,
were
to
attack
the
Guards
;
the
number
in
all
was
to
be
about
40.
This
was
fully
agreed
upon
.
And
,
Gentlemen
,
the
first
time
that
they
Resolved
to
put
this
Traiterous
Design
in
Execution
,
was
the
Fifteenth
of
February
,
which
was
a
Saturday
:
the
usual
day
that
the
King
was
wont
to
go
a
Hunting
in
;
but
it
hapned
by
great
Providence
that
the
King
did
not
go
abroad
that
day
.
They
had
contrived
further
to
make
the
thing
sure
,
that
there
should
be
two
Persons
,
whom
they
called
orderly
Men
,
who
should
be
placed
at
Kensington
,
to
give
Notice
when
the
King
went
abroad
;
and
Chambers
was
one
,
and
Durance
that
was
a
Fleming
was
another
;
and
Durance
was
likewise
imployed
to
view
the
Inns
about
Turnham-Green
and
Brentford
,
for
the
lodging
of
their
Men
,
who
were
to
be
placed
two
or
three
in
an
Inn
,
that
they
might
not
be
observed
.
Gentlemen
,
the
first
Day
appointed
for
the
accomplishing
this
Design
,
which
was
the
15th
of
February
,
being
over
,
and
they
disappointed
;
yet
they
did
afterwards
resolve
to
go
on
and
execute
it
.
And
the
next
Saturday
,
which
was
the
22th
of
February
,
was
pitched
upon
for
the
time
of
Execution
;
and
accordingly
on
Friday
the
21th
of
February
,
the
day
before
,
there
was
a
Meeting
at
the
Nag's-head
in
Covent
Garden
;
and
there
was
present
Sir
George
Barclay
,
Capt.
Porter
,
and
several
others
,
and
amongst
the
rest
,
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
was
there
;
they
had
at
first
some
Discourse
among
them
that
they
were
in
doubt
,
because
of
the
first
Disappointment
,
whether
there
had
not
been
some
Discovery
;
but
that
Doubt
was
soon
over
;
for
it
was
said
,
it
could
not
be
so
,
for
then
they
should
not
have
been
there
together
.
That
seemed
probable
,
and
the
Disappointment
was
imputed
to
some
Accident
,
and
that
gave
them
new
Assurance
to
go
on
,
and
they
were
resolved
to
do
it
in
the
same
manner
,
as
they
had
formerly
resolved
,
on
the
next
Day
,
which
was
Saturday
.
Gentlemen
,
at
that
Meeting
Mr.
Porter
acquainted
them
that
he
had
the
Misfortune
to
have
some
of
his
Horses
fallen
sick
or
lame
,
and
he
acquainted
the
Prisoner
with
it
;
and
Sir
William
Parkyns
was
careful
to
supply
him
with
other
Horses
,
and
told
him
,
he
could
get
a
Note
from
one
Lewis
,
who
I
think
is
Major
of
the
Horse
to
my
Lord
Feversham
,
to
get
three
Horses
,
and
accordingly
he
did
send
a
Note
for
three
Horses
to
Mr.
Lewis
.
Upon
the
22th
of
February
in
the
Morning
,
which
was
the
time
for
the
Execution
of
this
bloody
Conspiracy
,
they
had
met
together
,
and
resolved
to
go
on
with
it
,
and
put
it
in
Execution
;
and
they
had
Notice
from
Chambers
that
the
King
did
go
a
Hunting
that
Day
,
and
there
was
great
Joy
among
them
all
,
thinking
themselves
sure
;
and
so
they
ordered
all
things
to
be
got
ready
.
But
afterwards
,
about
One
a
Clock
,
there
came
other
News
,
that
the
King
did
not
go
abroad
,
but
the
Guards
were
all
come
back
in
great
haste
,
their
Horses
being
all
of
a
Foam
,
and
the
King's
Coaches
were
sent
back
to
the
Mews
;
then
they
began
to
be
in
a
great
Consternation
,
and
they
thought
the
thing
had
taken
Air
,
and
was
discovered
.
This
,
Gentlemen
,
is
a
short
Account
how
it
will
appear
upon
the
Evidence
as
to
the
Conspiracy
of
Assassinating
the
King
,
and
the
several
Meetings
and
Consultations
about
it
;
at
which
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
was
present
.
But
,
Gentlemen
,
there
will
be
a
little
more
Evidence
,
if
it
be
necessary
,
to
confirm
this
former
Evidence
,
and
to
shew
the
part
that
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
had
in
this
barbarous
,
Treasonable
Conspiracy
:
For
it
will
appear
,
that
,
as
the
Prisoner
had
a
Commission
from
the
late
King
James
to
raise
a
Regiment
of
Horse
,
and
had
sent
a
Messenger
into
France
to
invite
the
late
King
over
,
with
10000
French
;
so
he
had
made
great
Preparation
of
Arms
to
be
ready
for
that
Purpose
.
About
Michaelmas
last
,
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
sent
a
parcel
of
Goods
,
as
he
called
them
,
which
were
put
into
Cases
,
I
think
they
were
about
Eight
small
Boxes
,
put
in
very
large
Cases
,
and
sent
down
by
his
Order
into
the
Country
,
unto
one
Haywood
.
It
seems
this
Haywood
had
married
Mr.
Chernock's
Sister
,
and
Chernock
writ
a
Letter
to
him
,
and
desired
that
he
would
give
Sir
William
Parkyns
leave
to
lodge
some
Goods
there
,
which
were
of
great
value
,
and
he
durst
not
trust
them
at
his
own
House
in
Warwickshire
,
because
his
Servants
were
not
there
to
look
after
them
,
and
accordingly
upon
that
Letter
Mr.
Haywood
did
give
leave
that
the
Goods
should
be
carried
thither
,
and
they
were
so
,
and
there
they
were
lock'd
up
privately
,
and
kept
till
this
Barbarous
Conspiracy
was
discovered
;
then
you
will
find
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
sent
his
own
Servant
down
,
the
Tuesday
after
the
Discovery
,
and
gave
him
Orders
immediately
(
his
Name
is
Ubanck
,
and
he
is
the
Groom
,
and
looks
after
his
Horses
)
to
go
down
to
Warwickshire
to
one
Evans
,
who
carried
the
Goods
,
to
desire
him
with
all
speed
to
remove
those
Goods
,
and
to
take
care
to
remove
them
privately
,
and
to
secure
them
,
and
to
hide
them
.
And
accordingly
on
Wednesday
he
came
there
,
which
was
Ash-Wednesday
;
and
acquainted
Evans
with
what
Sir
William
had
ordered
him
,
and
they
went
that
very
Night
with
a
Cart
to
Mr.
Haywood's
;
and
though
it
was
late
,
and
they
were
desired
to
stay
till
the
next
Morning
,
they
would
not
;
they
said
,
they
could
stay
no
longer
,
but
would
remove
the
Goods
immediately
;
and
accordingly
they
were
carried
from
thence
that
Night
,
to
Sir
William
Parkyns
own
House
in
Warwickshire
;
and
there
they
were
buried
in
the
Garden
.
These
Goods
that
were
of
this
great
value
were
put
into
the
Ground
to
preserve
them
.
But
after
this
Discovery
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
being
accused
,
and
his
Name
put
in
the
Proclamation
,
and
a
Search
being
ordered
to
be
made
at
his
House
,
these
Goods
that
lay
hid
at
Haywood's
,
and
upon
the
removal
thence
were
thus
buried
in
the
Ground
,
came
to
be
discovered
,
and
the
Cases
were
broken
open
,
and
then
they
did
appear
to
be
Goods
of
an
extraordinary
Nature
indeed
,
for
you
will
find
they
were
Horse
Arms
for
Troopers
;
there
were
two
and
thirty
Carbines
,
five
and
twenty
Cases
of
Pistols
,
and
about
forty
odd
Swords
without
Hilts
upon
them
,
but
the
Hilts
lay
loose
by
them
;
so
that
this
will
make
it
apparent
,
without
Dispute
,
how
far
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
has
engaged
in
this
Conspiracy
,
and
what
Preparations
he
had
made
for
the
Execution
of
it
.
Gentlemen
,
it
will
appear
further
against
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
that
he
hath
had
a
considerable
Number
of
Horses
,
that
have
frequently
been
brought
up
from
his
House
in
Hartfordshire
to
the
George-Inn
in
Houlbourn
.
But
before
we
come
to
that
,
I
would
acquaint
you
with
another
particular
part
of
our
Evidence
,
that
is
precedent
in
point
of
time
.
About
Christmas
last
,
the
Prisoner
did
acquaint
one
Sweet
,
who
is
an
Officer
of
the
Excise
,
(
and
I
am
very
sorry
that
we
should
have
any
such
Officers
,
that
should
be
thought
fit
to
be
intrusted
with
Secrets
of
this
nature
)
Sir
William
Parkyns
acquainted
this
Sweet
,
and
gave
him
an
Account
that
he
had
long
had
an
Assurance
that
King
James
would
Land
,
but
now
he
had
it
under
his
own
Hand
,
that
he
would
land
very
speedily
,
and
that
he
had
made
Preparations
for
that
purpose
to
meet
him
.
That
great
things
were
expected
from
him
;
that
his
own
Troop
was
ready
,
and
it
consisted
chiefly
of
old
Souldiers
;
and
that
several
Persons
who
had
been
Officers
would
be
Volunteers
under
him
.
He
said
,
he
intended
to
go
into
Leicestershire
,
and
there
he
was
to
meet
several
Gentlemen
from
the
North
,
and
from
the
West
,
to
consider
,
and
settle
a
Correspondence
how
to
meet
the
late
King
upon
his
Landing
;
and
accordingly
Sir
William
Parkyns
did
go
,
and
you
will
have
an
account
that
he
came
to
Leicester
on
Friday
night
,
one
Scudimore
went
along
with
him
,
there
he
staid
all
Saturday
,
and
a
good
part
of
Sunday
.
There
came
several
persons
to
him
while
he
was
at
Leicester
,
particularly
one
Captain
Yarborough
,
the
Son
of
Sir
Thomas
Yarborough
,
and
a
Parson
,
who
said
they
came
as
far
as
from
York
to
meet
Sir
William
Parkyns
at
Leicester
;
and
there
was
great
resort
thither
at
that
time
,
as
you
will
hear
from
the
Witnesses
.
Sir
William
Parkyns
came
back
again
from
Leicester
to
Brickhill
,
that
night
,
and
returned
to
his
own
House
on
Monday
night
;
and
after
his
return
,
he
acquainted
this
Sweet
,
that
he
had
been
his
Journey
to
Leicester
;
that
he
met
with
several
Gentlemen
there
from
the
North
,
and
other
places
,
and
had
setled
a
Correspondency
,
and
had
found
them
all
fully
Ingaged
,
and
well
Inclined
,
all
went
well
,
and
there
was
no
danger
of
any
Miscarriage
at
all
;
and
this
was
about
January
last
,
that
this
Expedition
was
made
by
the
Prisoner
.
And
now
,
Gentlemen
,
as
to
that
particular
about
the
Horses
,
which
were
so
frequently
brought
up
this
last
Winter
from
his
House
in
Hartfordshire
,
to
the
George-Inn
in
Holbourn
;
there
is
one
very
unfortunate
Circumstance
that
attends
this
Matter
;
that
is
,
that
these
Horses
were
brought
to
Town
just
the
several
Nights
before
the
King
was
to
be
assassinated
;
for
upon
Thursday
the
13th
of
February
,
he
being
in
Town
,
sent
Directions
to
his
Groom
to
bring
up
three
of
his
Horses
on
Friday
,
which
was
the
14th
in
the
Afternoon
,
and
all
these
Horses
were
furnished
with
Pistols
and
Furniture
for
Troopers
;
according
to
those
Directions
his
Servant
brought
up
the
three
Horses
,
and
he
came
and
acquainted
his
Master
that
they
were
brought
up
according
to
his
Order
;
Sir
William
Parkyns
was
then
at
his
Lodgings
,
which
were
in
the
same
House
where
Mr.
Chernock
did
lodge
;
when
his
Man
had
told
him
the
Horses
were
come
,
he
pretended
at
first
that
he
had
had
some
Thoughts
of
going
out
of
Town
that
Evening
,
but
that
he
had
changed
his
Mind
,
and
would
go
in
the
Morning
;
and
he
would
have
the
Horses
ready
against
the
next
Morning
,
which
was
Saturday
the
15th
,
the
first
Day
upon
which
the
Assassination
was
intended
to
be
put
in
Execution
.
The
next
Morning
when
his
Man
came
to
him
again
,
he
had
changed
his
Mind
,
and
he
would
not
go
out
of
Town
in
the
Morning
,
but
he
would
go
in
the
Afternoon
;
and
it
will
appear
that
he
did
not
go
out
of
Town
that
Day
,
nor
the
next
Day
,
nor
till
Monday
;
and
then
the
Design
had
miscarried
by
the
King
's
not
going
abroad
a
Saturday
,
and
the
Horses
were
carried
back
;
and
when
he
went
out
of
Town
upon
Monday
,
one
Holmes
went
along
with
him
,
and
he
went
with
him
to
his
house
in
Hartfordshire
;
and
there
he
staid
until
Fryday
after
,
which
was
the
Day
before
the
next
time
that
was
appointed
for
the
Execution
of
the
Assassination
.
And
upon
the
Fryday
they
came
up
again
,
and
then
there
were
more
Horses
,
4
or
5
,
that
were
brought
up
that
Day
;
and
all
of
them
with
Pistolls
,
and
Jack
Bootes
,
and
other
Furniture
and
Accoutriments
for
Troopers
;
and
these
came
to
the
George
Inn
,
where
Sir
Wil.
Parkins
gave
his
man
Eubank
perticuler
Orders
,
to
be
very
early
the
next
Morning
at
Kensington
;
that
was
the
22d
.
and
he
was
to
go
,
as
he
told
him
,
to
one
Brown
,
that
he
said
was
Concern'd
in
the
Kings
Kitchin
,
and
Liv'd
2
Doors
off
the
Gate
that
turns
up
to
the
Kings
house
,
and
he
was
to
tell
him
he
was
Sir
W.
Parkins's
servant
,
but
that
he
came
from
a
man
that
Lodg'd
at
a
Confectioners
house
over
against
Grays
Inn
;
in
which
place
by
the
Description
of
the
person
,
you
will
find
Sir
Geo.
Barclay
lodged
.
The
man
went
accordingly
at
8
a
Clock
in
the
Morning
to
Kensington
,
and
inquir'd
out
this
Brown
,
and
met
with
him
,
and
told
him
he
was
Sir
W.
Parkins's
servant
,
but
came
from
the
Gentleman
that
Lodg'd
at
the
Confectioners
in
Holbourn
.
Brown
said
he
had
nothing
to
say
to
him
,
but
bid
him
give
him
his
Almanack
,
and
he
writ
in
it
,
that
he
wou'd
be
in
Town
in
2
hours
himself
,
and
wait
upon
him
:
And
bid
him
carry
that
to
the
man
that
lodg'd
at
the
Confectioners
,
and
this
Brown
by
the
Circumstances
of
the
whole
,
must
probably
be
one
of
the
Orderly
men
who
lodg'd
at
Kensington
,
to
give
notice
when
the
King
,
and
the
Gurds
went
out
.
Sir
Wil.
Parkins's
servant
came
back
to
the
Confectioners
house
,
and
there
he
met
with
a
man
that
went
by
the
name
of
Rogers
;
he
'll
tell
you
he
was
a
Scotch
man
,
for
he
spoke
broad
Scotch
,
and
he
'll
give
you
a
particular
Description
of
the
man
,
by
which
I
believe
it
will
appear
that
it
was
Sir
Geo.
Barclay
.
Sir
Wil.
Parkins's
servant
after
he
had
Deliver'd
his
Messuage
to
this
Rogers
,
came
back
to
his
Master
,
and
told
him
he
had
done
his
Errand
according
as
he
was
order'd
,
and
Sir
Wil.
Parkins
ask't
him
what
Rogers
said
,
and
he
told
him
that
he
bid
him
tell
his
Master
,
if
he
wou'd
come
to
him
he
wou'd
be
ready
at
home
for
him
.
This
was
upon
Saturday
Morning
the
22d
.
of
February
.
About
11
a
Clock
that
day
Sir
Wil.
Parkins
,
and
this
Lewis
that
we
spoke
of
before
,
came
to
the
George
Inn
,
and
there
Sir
Wil.
Parkins
ask't
his
servant
whether
he
had
receiv'd
any
more
then
2
Sadles
,
for
there
were
2
Sadles
sent
in
thither
,
according
to
an
order
that
hath
been
given
,
to
furnish
two
other
Horses
that
stood
their
at
the
George
Inn
,
and
which
Sir
W.
Parkings
told
his
Groom
belonged
to
two
Friends
of
his
,
and
bid
him
besure
to
take
care
of
them
,
and
to
see
them
well
fed
,
and
order'd
2
Sadles
to
be
bought
for
them
.
Lewis
said
he
did
think
they
had
more
then
two
,
but
you
will
see
by
the
Evidence
that
this
same
Lewis
had
provided
30
Sadles
for
Sir
Wi.
Parkins
;
but
there
seem'd
to
be
a
Controversy
between
them
and
that
time
how
many
had
really
been
sent
in
,
and
Lewis
affirm'd
there
was
24
,
but
Sir
W.
Perkins
said
,
I
have
had
but
22
of
the
30
yet
,
for
I
have
but
2
brought
in
here
,
and
I
had
20
before
.
This
you
will
hear
fully
prov'd
,
and
I
think
it
is
Impossible
for
any
body
to
believe
,
but
that
all
this
preparation
of
Sadles
,
Pistols
,
Boots
,
and
other
things
,
must
Convince
any
body
of
the
Prisoners
being
so
far
Ingaged
in
this
Design
,
that
he
can
never
Answer
it
without
giving
you
a
very
good
Account
,
what
this
preparation
was
for
.
Gentlemen
,
a
great
part
of
this
will
be
prov'd
to
you
by
one
that
Acted
in
it
,
as
a
servant
to
Sir
W.
Parkins
,
that
is
,
as
to
the
comming
up
of
the
Horses
,
Jack
Bootes
,
Pistols
,
and
other
Arms
at
that
time
;
and
that
when
on
the
last
Saturday
it
was
Disappointed
,
all
the
Horses
,
not
only
those
Sir
W.
Parkins
brought
,
but
the
other
two
went
away
in
a
great
Hurry
,
and
Confusion
,
and
nothing
was
ever
heard
of
them
more
;
and
that
will
be
prov'd
by
the
Servants
in
the
very
Inn.
Gentlemen
,
I
have
now
open'd
to
you
the
nature
and
state
of
the
Evidence
,
we
will
call
our
Witnesses
,
and
make
it
out
very
undeniably
,
and
Substantially
,
and
therefore
I
will
not
give
you
any
further
trouble
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Call
Mr.
Porter
(
who
was
Sworn
)
Mr.
Porter
,
pray
will
you
give
the
Court
and
the
Jury
an
Account
of
the
meeting
at
the
Kings
Head
in
Leaden
hall
street
,
and
who
was
there
,
and
what
Resolutions
,
and
Agrements
they
came
to
.
Capt.
Porter
.
About
the
latter
end
of
May
last
,
or
the
begining
of
June
,
there
were
two
meetings
had
,
the
one
was
at
the
Kings
Head
in
Leaden
hall
street
,
the
other
was
at
Mr.
Mountjoyes
near
Sir
John
Fenwicks
.
At
the
First
meeting
there
was
my
Lord
of
Aylesbury
,
my
Lord
Montgomery
,
Sir
J.
Friend
,
Sir
W.
Parkins
the
prisoner
at
the
Barr
,
Sir
J.
Fenwick
,
Capt.
Chernock
,
Mr.
Cook
,
and
my self
.
Mr.
Goodman
came
in
after
Dinner
,
and
there
we
Consulted
which
was
the
best
way
for
King
James's
coming
in
,
and
we
all
Resolv'd
to
send
a
Messenger
to
him
to
to
Invite
him
over
,
and
to
desire
him
to
Interpose
with
the
French
King
for
the
Getting
10000
men
,
to
come
over
with
him
,
8000
Foot
,
1000
Horse
,
and
1000
Dragoons
.
It
was
then
Consider'd
who
shou'd
be
sent
,
and
all
the
Company
agreed
Mr.
Chernock
was
the
properest
person
.
Says
Mr.
Chernock
,
if
you
send
me
,
pray
tell
me
what
Errant
I
shall
go
upon
:
We
did
likewise
then
agree
,
that
he
should
assure
the
King
,
if
He
would
come
over
,
at
such
a
time
,
we
would
meet
Him
with
a
body
of
2000
Horse
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
Chernock
undertake
to
go
upon
that
Message
?
Cap.
P.
Yes
,
he
Did
,
and
to
propose
this
matter
to
Him
,
that
He
might
propose
it
to
the
French
King
for
the
getting
of
the
men
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Before
you
go
away
,
I
Desire
to
ask
of
you
one
thing
,
Did
Sir
Wil.
Parkins
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
agree
to
the
Message
.
Capt.
P.
Yes
,
he
Did.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Had
you
any
other
meeting
about
this
business
,
and
when
was
it
,
and
who
was
there
?
Capt.
P.
My
Lord
,
Capt.
Chernock
said
at
first
he
would
not
go
of
a
foolish
Message
,
and
thereupon
we
all
agreed
to
be
at
the
head
of
2000
men
to
meet
King
James
at
His
Landing
,
and
every
one
should
bring
his
Quota
.
M.
Att.
Gen.
When
was
the
Second
meeting
,
and
where
was
it
;
and
who
were
there
,
and
what
was
agreed
upon
?
Capt.
P.
The
second
meeting
was
at
Mrs.
Mountjoys
,
where
Capt.
Chernock
desir'd
us
once
more
to
meet
,
before
he
went
away
,
to
know
whether
we
kept
to
our
First
Resolution
,
and
we
did
agree
to
what
was
Resolv'd
upon
at
First
,
and
he
said
he
would
go
in
two
or
three
Days
time
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
the
Company
agree
to
it
then
?
Capt.

Yes

they
Did
Sir
,
all
that
meet
at
that
time
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Pray
name
them
over
again
,
who
they
were
.
Capt.
P.
Sir
Wil.
Parkins
was
actually
there
,
and
my
Lord
of
Aylesbury
,
and
Sir
J.
Friend
,
and
Capt.
Chernock
,
Mr.
Cook
,
and
my self
,
I
cannot
tell
whether
my
Lord
Montgomery
was
there
,
or
Mr.
Goodman
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
when
did
you
see
Capt.
Chernock
,
or
speak
with
him
after
that
?
Capt.
P.
It
was
when
I
was
in
Prison
about
the
Riot
,
and
he
told
me
he
had
been
there
;
but
there
would
be
nothing
done
in
that
matter
at
Present
,
for
King
James
said
,
the
French
King
could
not
then
spare
so
many
men
,
tho
he
thankt
us
for
Our
Kind
offer
:
And
he
said
he
had
been
with
my
Lord
of
Aylesbury
,
Sir
W.
Parkins
,
and
the
several
other
people
of
Quality
,
which
he
did
not
name
,
and
had
carryed
them
the
particular
Messages
that
he
had
in
Command
from
the
King
to
carry
to
them
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Now
,
pray
,
tell
us
what
you
Know
about
the
Design
of
Assassinating
the
King
,
and
what
hand
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
was
to
have
in
it
?
Capt.
P.
About
some
weeks
before
I
heard
of
the
Assassination
;
I
came
to
Lodg
in
the
house
in
Norfolk
street
,
where
Capt.
Chernock
Lodg'd
,
and
where
Sir
W.
Parkins
Lodg'd
when
he
came
to
Town
.
Most
commonly
we
us'd
to
go
in
the
Evening
to
the
Tavern
,
or
Drink
a
Bottle
of
Wine
at
our
own
Lodgings
;
and
one
Morning
I
ask'd
Mr.
Chernock
,
if
I
should
see
him
at
Night
,
he
said
he
was
Ingag'd
in
private
Company
for
that
Night
,
and
he
could
not
go
with
me
to
the
Tavern
.
For
says
he
there
are
some
Gentlemen
that
are
lately
come
from
France
,
and
there
is
something
to
be
done
for
the
Kings
service
.
If
there
be
so
,
says
I
,
pray
let
me
be
concern'd
?
says
he
,
they
are
but
newly
come
,
and
they
will
see
no
body
else
but
me
at
present
.
A
little
after
I
fell
sick
of
a
fit
of
the
Gout
,
and
Mr.
Chernock
came
to
Visit
me
,
and
we
fell
into
Discourse
,
and
I
ask'd
him
about
those
Gentlemen
that
were
come
from
France
,
what
they
came
about
;
he
told
me
it
was
Sir
G.
Barclay
that
came
from
France
,
and
several
other
Officers
with
him
,
and
that
he
had
a
Commission
from
the
late
King
James
to
Levy
War
against
the
Person
of
King
William
,
or
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
as
I
think
it
was
named
in
the
Commission
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
Who
told
you
this
?
Capt.
P.
It
was
Capt.
Chernock
:
He
desir'd
to
Know
how
many
men
I
could
bring
.
I
desir'd
a
little
time
to
Consider
,
but
I
said
there
would
be
a
great
many
that
would
Joyn
if
the
King
landed
(
whom
I
did
not
think
fit
to
Trust
with
a
thing
of
this
nature
before
hand
.
)
Some
few
Days
after
,
Capt.
Chernock
came
into
my
Chamber
,
and
brought
Sir
G.
Barclay
and
Major
Holmes
that
said
he
was
come
from
France
;
and
there
we
had
little
more
but
a
General
discourse
:
But
a
Little
after
that
I
got
well
of
the
Gout
,
and
we
had
several
meetings
at
several
Places
;
at
the
Globe
Tavern
in
Hatton-Garden
,
at
the
Naggs
head
in
Covent
Garden
,
and
at
the
Sun
in
the
Strand
,
where
Sir
Wil.
Parkins
was
always
present
.
And
there
we
Did
consult
of
the
best
ways
to
Assassinat
the
King
,
as
he
came
from
Richmond
after
Hunting
.
Sir
G.
Barclay
said
,
he
had
receiv'd
800
l.
from
King
James's
Secretary
towards
the
buying
of
Horses
,
and
furnishing
both
Horses
and
Men
for
the
Expedition
;
and
it
was
Consider'd
of
how
many
men
it
would
be
necessary
to
bring
.
The
number
agreed
upon
was
about
40
,
of
which
Sir
G.
Barclay
was
to
provide
20
,
I
promised
to
bring
7
or
8
,
Sir
Wil.
Parkins
Ingaged
to
bring
5
,
wherof
3
should
be
mounted
with
his
own
Men
,
and
the
other
2
my
Men
were
to
mount
upon
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Do
you
know
the
names
of
those
People
that
he
was
to
mount
.
Capt.
P.
I
never
had
the
names
my self
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Well
,
what
was
Done
after
these
Consultations
?
Capt.
P.
I
ask
Capt.
Chernock
one
time
,
if
I
might
not
see
the
Commission
,
that
King
James
had
given
;
he
said
he
had
never
seen
it
himself
,
but
Sir
W.
Parkyns
had
.
I
askt
Sir
W.
Parkyns
one
Evening
,
as
we
were
smoaking
a
Pipe
by
the
Fire
side
,
whether
he
had
seen
the
Commission
;
he
said
he
had
,
and
that
because
King
James
would
not
trust
any
of
his
Ministers
;
it
was
written
and
Sign'd
with
the
Kings
own
Hand
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
did
he
tell
you
what
it
was
for
?
Capt.
P.
He
said
it
was
for
Raising
,
and
Levying
War
upon
the
Person
of
the
King
,
but
I
do
not
know
whether
he
call'd
him
King
William
,
or
the
Prince
of
Orange
;
but
I
suppose
it
was
the
Prince
of
Orange
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
then
give
us
an
Account
of
your
going
to
view
the
Ground
,
where
it
was
most
Convenient
to
do
the
business
.
Capt.
P.
There
were
several
propositions
about
the
Place
where
it
was
to
be
done
,
one
was
to
be
on
the
other
side
of
the
Water
by
Ambuscade
in
Richmond
Park
,
the
other
was
to
be
on
this
side
of
the
Water
after
the
King
was
Landed
.
Sir
G.
Barclay
was
for
that
that
was
upon
the
other
side
of
the
Water
;
I
thought
that
would
take
up
too
much
time
to
go
over
thither
,
that
it
was
better
to
be
done
on
this
side
;
but
because
there
was
Difference
of
Opinions
,
It
was
Resolved
upon
that
some
body
should
be
appointed
to
view
the
Ground
;
and
I
was
appointed
for
one
,
Mr.
Knightly
for
another
,
and
Mr.
King
would
needs
go
with
us
for
a
Third
,
and
we
three
did
go
.
We
lay
all
Night
at
Knights
bridge
,
and
the
next
Day
went
and
view'd
the
Grounds
on
both
sides
the
River
;
and
came
back
that
Evening
to
the
Naggs
head
according
to
appointment
,
where
was
Sir
W.
Parkyns
the
Prisoner
,
and
Sir
G.
Barclay
,
and
Mr.
Chernock
,
and
we
gave
an
account
that
we
had
view'd
both
the
Places
:
And
upon
our
Report
it
was
Resolv'd
,
that
it
should
be
done
on
this
side
the
Water
,
In
the
Lane
between
Brentford
and
Turnham
Green
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Are
you
sure
Sir
W.
Parkyns
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
was
there
,
at
that
meeting
at
the
Naggs
head
?
Capt.
P.
Yes
he
was
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
he
agree
to
that
Resolution
?
Capt.
P.
It
was
in
General
agreed
by
all
that
was
there
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
Capt.
Porter
then
give
us
an
Account
of
the
Days
that
were
fixt
for
the
Execution
of
this
Design
.
Capt.
P.
There
was
Saturday
the
15th
.
and
Saturday
the
22d
.
because
Saturday
was
the
Day
the
King
us'd
to
go
a
Hunting
,
and
Shooting
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Were
there
any
men
at
Kensington
to
give
you
notice
when
the
King
went
abroad
.
Capt.
P.
There
were
two
men
that
had
a
Lodging
at
Kensington
,
the
one
was
one
Chambers
who
belong'd
to
Capt.
Chernock
,
and
the
other
was
a
Fleming
,
one
Durance
,
who
came
over
with
Sir
George
Barclay
,
and
he
went
every
Day
and
thrust
himself
among
the
Guards
to
bring
Intelligence
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
What
was
the
reason
the
Design
was
not
executed
.
Capt.
P.
The
first
Day
Durance
brought
notice
in
the
Morning
,
that
the
Guards
were
gone
abroad
;
and
afterwards
there
came
notice
,
that
the
King
would
not
go
abroad
that
Day
,
for
which
reason
we
Adjourn'd
it
to
the
next
Saturday
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
was
the
Method
you
was
to
take
in
the
Execution
?
Capt.
P.
The
method
agreed
upon
was
this
;
there
was
one
Rookwood
that
came
from
France
upon
this
Expedition
,
he
was
to
Command
one
party
,
and
Capt.
Chernock
and
my self
,
were
to
Command
another
Party
to
attack
the
Guards
,
and
Sir
George
Barclay
was
to
have
4
men
out
of
each
party
to
attack
the
Coack
,
while
we
Attack'd
the
Guards
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Well
,
you
say
the
First
Day
you
was
Disappointed
by
the
Kings
not
going
,
when
was
the
next
meeting
.
Capt
P.
The
next
meeting
was
upon
Fryday
the
day
before
the
22d
.
I
was
sick
all
the
Week
,
and
I
do
not
know
whether
I
lay
a
Bed
all
the
Week
,
or
no
,
but
upon
Fryday
they
met
,
and
it
was
at
the
Sun
Tavern
in
the
Strand
:
There
was
none
but
Sir
G.
Barclay
,
Capt.
Chernock
,
Sir
W.
Parkyns
and
my self
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
Discourse
was
there
then
?
Capt.
P.
Sir
G.
Barclay
came
in
,
and
said
he
was
afraid
the
thing
was
Discover'd
;
I
told
him
I
fancyed
not
,
for
if
it
had
we
should
not
have
been
in
that
house
at
that
time
.
Then
says
he
,
let
us
go
on
and
try
another
day
.
Sir
W.
Parkyns
was
ask'd
if
his
Horses
were
come
to
Town
?
he
said
they
were
come
to
Town
that
Night
.
Said
I
,
I
have
had
a
misfortune
with
my
Horses
,
two
of
them
are
fallen
Lame
,
and
and
won't
be
fit
for
service
.
Says
he
,
if
I
had
known
that
,
I
could
have
brought
more
Horses
out
of
the
Country
:
But
says
he
,
I
will
send
to
Mr.
Lewis
,
who
was
Gentleman
of
the
Horse
to
my
Lord
Feversham
,
and
I
believe
he
can
help
us
to
more
Horses
;
he
will
be
with
me
to
Morrow
morning
,
and
I
le
get
a
Note
from
him
for
two
more
.
In
the
Morning
I
sent
to
him
,
and
he
sent
me
a
Note
for
two
Horses
to
mount
my
men
,
and
he
sent
me
word
Mr
,
Lewis
could
help
me
to
2
or
3
others
,
that
they
were
all
3
Sadled
,
and
one
was
Accoutred
with
Holsters
and
Pistolls
,
but
the
other
2
had
only
Sadles
.
I
did
not
see
Sir
W.
Parkyns
,
on
Saturday
the
22d
.
but
I
met
some
of
my
friends
,
who
were
to
go
along
with
me
upon
this
Enterprise
,
and
we
had
first
notice
that
the
Guards
were
gone
abroad
,
and
that
the
King
would
go
,
at
which
all
were
very
glad
:
But
when
we
had
notice
that
the
King
did
not
go
,
we
were
afraid
the
thing
was
Discover'd
,
and
I
went
out
of
Town
,
and
I
did
not
see
any
of
them
afterwards
till
they
were
taken
.
M.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
,
Capt.
Porter
,
have
you
ever
heard
any
thing
from
Sir
W.
Parkyns
of
his
having
a
Commission
from
King
James
?
Capt.
P.
I
had
heard
Capt.
Chernock
ask
Sir
W.
Parkyns
why
he
did
not
go
along
with
us
in
this
Expedition
,
he
said
he
did
not
go
,
because
he
could
not
go
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Was
he
not
to
be
one
of
the
Number
that
was
to
Act
in
the
Assassination
?
Capt.
P.
No
,
he
said
he
had
other
Business
to
do
,
he
had
a
Regiment
to
look
after
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
How
many
Horses
had
you
from
Lewis
.
Capt.
P.
I
had
never
a
one
,
only
Sir
W.
Parkyns
sent
me
word
,
if
I
wanted
I
might
have
3
for
I
had
told
him
I
would
not
send
for
them
,
till
I
heard
whither
the
King
went
abroad
,
and
then
I
had
notice
that
the
King
did
not
go
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Had
you
a
Note
for
them
.
Capt.
P.
Not
for
those
3
Horses
,
but
Cranburn
said
he
had
a
Note
for
2
Horses
.
Parkyns
.
Did
he
say

No
,
I
don't
say
so
Sir
W.
Cranburn
told
me

had
a

Capt.
P.
I
cannot
say
exactly
what
he
did
say
in
particular
,
only
he
agreed
to
it
,
and
was
to
furnish
5
Horses
for
it
,
and
said
it
was
necessary
to
be
done
,
for
it
wou'd
bring
the
King
in

could
not
Personally
ingage
in

I
think

told

and
he
shew'd
me
his
Wounds

?
Parkyns
.
Did
I
tell
you
,
Mr.

Parkyns

Parkyns
.
Where
is
that
House
?
Sweet
.
In
Hertfordshire
.
Parkyns
.
Then
I
am
in
your
Lordships
Judgment
;
whether
words
spoken
in
Hertfordshire
can
be
an
Evidence
of
a
Treason
acted
here
in
Middlesex
?
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Sir
Will
.
Parkyns
,
if
there
be
a
Design
to
kill
the
King
,
and
there
are
several
Overt-Acts
to
prove
that
Design
,
and
one
is
in
one
County
,
and
another
is
in
another
County
,
the
Party
may
be
indicted
in
either
of
the
Counties
,
and
Evidence
may
be
given
of
both
those
Overt-Acts
,
tho
in
several
Counties
.
It
is
true
,
you
being
indicted
in
Middlesex
,
makes
it
necessary
that
some
Evidence
should
be
given
of
some
things
done
in
Middlesex
,
as
there
is
;
as
your
meeting
at
Mr.
Mountjoyes
,
and
at
the
Nags
Head
in
Covent-Garden
,
and
the
Sun
in
the
Strand
,
where
were
several
Consults
,
which
are
Overt-Acts
of
the
same
Treason
;
and
if
Treason
be
●●mmitted
in
several
Counties
,
the
Party
may
be
indicted
in
any
one
,
and
the
Evidence
may
be
giv●●●f
Facts
done
in
all
.
Parkyns
.
Then
,
Mr.
Sweet
,
you
do
not
say
that
I
had
raised
a
Troop
,
o●
〈◊〉
raise
a
Troop
?
Sweet
.
I
told
you
your
own
words
;
that
your
Troop
was
made
u●
〈◊〉
Soldiers
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
But
yet
I
must
tell
you
further
,
Sir
Will
.
Parkyns
,
if
I
remember
right
,
there
is
Evidence
given
of
a
Discourse
you
had
in
Norfolk-street
,
where
you
lodg'd
,
and
that
is
in
Middlesex
.
Parkyns
.
My
Lord
,
I
did
not
observe
that
he
said
any
thing
of
me
about
Norfolk-street
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Yes
,
this
is
what
he
says
.
You
told
him
you
had
thought
of
a
Business
for
him
,
but
you
would
not
engage
him
in
it
,
because
of
his
Family

Parkyns

Pray

was
to
do

Confectioner's
in
Holborn
over
against
Grays-Inn
.
I
know
the
Gentleman
by
Face
again
if
I
see
him
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Well
,
what
did
he
say
to
you
?
Eubank
.
He
bid
me
set
up
my
Horse
at
the
Red-Lion
,
and
he
would
come
to
me
presently
;
and
so
he
did
.
Says
he
,
I
have
no
business
that
I
need
to
send
;
but
I
'll
write
in
your
Almanack
,
and
you
may
carry
it
back
and
shew
it
him
,
that
I
will
come
to
Town
betwixt
nine
and
ten
a
clock
.
I
did
go
back
and
tell
that
Gentleman
at
the
Confectioner's
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
kind
of
Gentleman
was
it
?
Eubank
.
A
Lusty
man
,
with
a
great
Nose
and
a
black
Wigg
,
he
speaks
broad
Scotch
,
and
he
was
a
swarthy
coloured
man
,
and
he
had
a
wide
Mouth
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
age
was
he
of
?
Eubank
.
A
middle
aged
man
.
Mr.
Att
Gen.
Pray
,
what
did
he
say
to
you
?
Eubank
.
He
ask'd
me
if
I
had
seen
the
Gentleman
.
I
told
him
yes
.
He
ask'd
me
what
the
Gentleman
returned
for
answer
.
I
told
him
he
had
writ
in
my
Almanack
,
which
I
had
shewn
him
,
that
he
would
be
in
Town
between
nine
and
ten
a
clock
.
He
as'd
me
then
where
I
was
going
.
I
said
to
my
Master
.
Says
he
,
tell
your
Master
that
I
will
be
in
my
Chamber
ready
for
him
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
you
go
to
your
Master
,
and
tell
him
so
?
Eubank
.
Yes
,
I
did
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
And
what
did
he
say
to
you
?
Eubank
.
He
said
,
he
designed
to
go
home
in
the
Afternoon
,
and
therefore
bid
me
go
to
the
Inn
,
and
make
ready
the
Horses
,
and
know
what
was
to
pay
for
them
,
and
he
would
come
by
and
by
thither
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
he
afterwards
come
to
the
Inn
?
Eubank
.
Yes
,
Sir
,
about
three
or
four
a
clock
in
the
Afternoon
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
,
who
came
with
Sir
William
Parkyns
?
Eubank
.
One
Lewis
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Do
you
know
him
?
Eubank
.
I
have
seen
him
before
with
my
Master
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
is
he
?
Eubank
.
They
say
he
is
my
Lord
Feversham's
Gentleman
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
did
he
say
to
you
about
any
Saddles
?
Eubank
.
They
ask'd
me
what
Saddles
and
how
many
had
been
sent
there
;
and
I
said
but
two
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
said
Mr.
Lewis
?
Eubank
.
Mr.
Lewis
said
there
must
be
a
mistake
,
because
my
Master
said
he
had
but
22
,
for
he
reckon'd
he
had
more
,
there
should
be
24
in
all
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
he
say
so
,
or
Sir
William
Perkins
?
Eubank
.
It
was
Mr.
Lewis
that
said
there
were
24
,
to
the
best
of
my
remembrance
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Where
were
they
sent
?
Eubank
.
Indeed
I
know
not
,
I
never
saw
any
of
them
but
those
two
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Who
delivered
those
two
to
you
?
Eubank
.
My
Master
Sir
William
Parkyns
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Who
were
those
Saddles
for
?
Eubank
.
They
were
for
two
Gentlemens
Horses
that
were
there
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Whose
Horses
were
they
?
Eubank
.
They
were
not
my
Master's
,
but
they
stood
at
that
place
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
your
Master
ever
speak
to
you
about
them
to
look
after
them
.
Eubank
.
He
said
,
if
at
any
time
I
was
there
,
I
should
see
that
the
Ostler
gave
them
their
Corn.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Were
they
your
Master's
Horses
or
not
?
Eubank
.
Not
that
I
know
of
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
time
did
you
go
out
of
Town
?
Eubank
.
I
went
out
of
Town
with
them
about
four
a
clock
in
the
Afternoon
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
When
did
you
hear
from
your
Master

that
?
Eubank
.
Upon
Monday
I
had
a
Letter
from
him
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
was
that
Letter
for
?
Eubank

It
was
to
go
to
my
Master's
House
in
Warwickshire

was
his
servant
,
to
whom
he
sent
a

.
Mr.

were
the
Contents

they
were

was
sealed
.
Mr.

Name
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
you
go
with
Evans
to
fetch
the
Boxes
from
thence
?
Eubank

They
had
a

that
drove
the
Team
to
fetch
them

Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Were
they
carried
in
a
Team

C.
J.
H.
How
far
is
it
from
Sir
William
Parkyns's
house
to
Haywoods

Eubank

think
about
3
or
4
miles

I
cant
tell
how
far
exactly
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
What
time

Eubank

About

My

I
understand
he
says
they
buried
them
immediately
,
was
he
there
,
and
did
he
help
to
bury
them
.
Eubank
.
No
,
I
did
not
help
to
bury
them
;
but
I
saw
Earth
put
upon
them
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
,
Eubank
,
let
me
ask
you
one
Question
:
the
Person
that
lay
at
the
Confectioner's
,
did
you
observe
whether
he
had
a
lame
Arm

No

I
did
not
take
notice
of
any
such
thing
.
Mr.

Gen.
Will
Sir

Parkyns
ask

L.
C.
J.
Holt.
What

It

Fat
Mr.
Holmes

if
it
please
your
Honour
,
he
lives
at
the
Golden
Key
in
Holbourn
.
Parkyns
.
My
Lord
,
I
observe
this
to
distinguish
it
that
it
was
not

Proclamation
;
it
was

Mr.

that
were
carry'd
from

Hipwell

I
came
from
Litchfield
Fair
upon
Ash-Wednesday
,
where
I
had
been
to
carry
Goods
for
my
Master
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
not

I
ask'd
you

lived

Hipwell

Mr.

Hipwell

That
is
,
when
he
pleases
to
imploy
me
,
I
work
for
him
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
tell
what
you
carry'd
from
Haywood's
House
,
and
who
came
for
them
.
Hipwell
.
There
were
,
to
the
best
of
my
remembrance
,
either
seven
or
eight
Boxes
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Who
came
for
them
?
Hipwell
.
There
was
one
of
Sir
William
Parkyns
men
,
one
Richard
Evans
that
was
his
Servant
,
and
one
Wetstone
that
was
Tenant
to
Sir
William
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Well
,
how
did
they
come
,
and
what
did
they
do
?
Hipwell
.
They
brought
a
Waggon
and
two
Mares
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
About
what
time
was
it
?
Hipwell
.
It
was
about
Nine
or
Ten
a
Clock
at
Night
when
they
went
away
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
Orders
had
you
from
your
Master
?
Hipwell
.
It
was
near
upon
seven
a
Clock
when
the
Waggon
came
,
and
my
Master
wish'd
me
to
go
to
borrow
a
Mare
of
_____
at
_____
I
did
so
,
and
I
brought
the
Mare
I
had
borrowed
with
me
home
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
was
that
Mare
borrowed
for
?
Hipw
.
I
know
not
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
use
was
she
put
to
afterwards
?
What
did
you
see
more
?
Hipwell
.
Why
,
before
the
Team
came
(
about
a
quarter
of
an
hour
before
)
to
fetch
these
Goods
,
my
Master
told
me
,
that
Sir
William
Parkyns's
men
were
to
come
to
fetch
some
Bedding
and
other
Goods
,
what
they
were
he
knew
not
,
and
he
order'd
me
when
they
knock'd
at
the
Gate
,
to
let
them
in
;
and
I
did
so
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Well
Friend
,
did
they
carry
away
any
Goods
,
and
what
were
they
?
Hipwell
.
They
were
in
Boxes
,
at
first
in
three
Boxes
;
and
then
Sir
William
Parkyns's
Servant
did
knock
off
the
outside
Lining
,
which
was
a
Deal
Board
,
and
he
drew
the
Nails
and
took
out
of
two
Boxes
three
Boxes
apiece
,
and
two
out
of
another
,
to
the
best
of
my
remembrance
I
think
there
were
eight
,
but
I
am
not
sure
whether
there
were
seven
or
eight
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
they
carry
them
away
that
Night
?
Hipwell
.
Yes
,
Sir
William
Parkyns's
Man
Richard
and
the
Tenant
carried
them
to
the
Waggon
,
and
I
lighted
them
down
with
a
Lanthorn
,
according
to
my
Masters
Order
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
When
,
what
Day
was
this
?
Hipwell
.
It
was
Ash
Wednesday
at
Night
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen
Then
set
up
Mr.
Haywood
.
(
Who
was
sworn
before
.
)
Pray
give
my
Lord
an
account
when
Sir
William
Parkyns's
Goods
were
brought
to
your
House
?
who
brought
them
,
and
what
Directions
were
given
about
the
careful
keeping
of
them
?
Haywood
.
My
Lord
,
about
Michaelmas
last
,
Sir
William
Parkyns's
Man
came
to
me
with
a
Letter
from
one
Mr.
Charnock
,
and
the
effect
of
the
Letter
was
to
desire
the
favour
of
me
to
lodge
some
Goods
of
Sir
William
Parkyns
at
my
House
;
for
he
was
taking
his
Servants
from
his
House
,
and
he
was
loath
to
leave
his
Goods
in
an
empty
House
;
and
he
desired
me
to
let
them
lye
at
my
House
,
which
I
did
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
How
were
they
put
up
?
Haywood
.
I
think
in
three
Chests
,
pretty
big
Chests
,
nail'd
up
and
rack'd
;
and
there
was
a
Bed
,
and
Bedding
,
and
a
piece
of
Tapestry
or
two
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
did
that
Letter
come
from
Mr.
Charnock
?
Haywood
.
Yes
Evans
Sir
William
Parkyns
Man
brought
it
me
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
Sir
,
how
are
you
related
to
that
Mr.
Charnock
;
what
a
Kin
is
he
to
you
?
Haywood
.
I
married
his
Sister
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
You
took
the
Goods
into
your
Custody
upon
that
Letter
from
Charnock
?
Haywood
.
Yes
,
my
Lord
,
I
did
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
will
you
give
an
account
whether
you
were
in
Town
before
this
Discovery
,
and
had
any
Discourse
with
Mr.
Charnock
or
Sir
William
Parkyns
about
these
Goods
?
When
did
you
see
Mr.
Charnock
afterwards
?
Haywood
.
I
came
up
to
London
the
16th
day
,
and
I
was
in
London
the
17th
18th
and
19th
.
I
think
those
three
days
;
and
I
went
to
see
Mr.
Charnock
at
his
Lodgings
,
but
I
was
hardly
with
him
a
quarter
of
an
hour
:
I
told
him
Sir
William
Parkyns
had
sent
some
Goods
to
my
House
,
and
I
desired
to
know
when
he
would
fetch
them
away
.
Says
he
,
I
can't
say
when
I
shall
see
him
again
.
Said
I
,
I
shall
have
some
business
at
the
Temple
,
and
I
will
meet
you
at
the
Temple
Coffee
House
.
Says
he
,
I
will
meet
,
and
bring
Sir
William
Parkyns
with
you
if
you
can
,
said
I
:
he
came
about
8
or
9
a
Clock
on
Tuesday
morning
;
says
he
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
is
at
my
Lodgings
,
just
a
going
out
of
Town
,
and
would
desire
to
see
you
.
So
I
went
up
,
and
Sir
William
Parkyns
was
ready
to
go
out
of
Town
:
I
told
him
I
had
some
Goods
of
his
at
my
House
,
and
I
desired
to
know
how
he
would
dispose
of
them
;
what
he
would
do
with
them
:
He
would
take
them
away
,
he
said
,
the
first
opportunity

When
was
this
,
what
month
?
Haywood
.
It
was
in
February
last
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
What
Day
?
Haywood
.
I
think
it
might
be
about
the
18th
day
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
It
was
you
that
desired
to
have
them
taken
away
,
it
seems
,
was
it
not
?
Haywood
.
I
ask'd
him
when
he
would
take
them
away
,
or
what
he
would
do
with
them
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
And
what
Answer
did
he
make
?
Haywood
.
He
said
he
would
take
them
away
the
first
opportunity
,
as
soon
as
he
could
dispose
of
them
,
or
that
effect
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Now
when
you
came
home
,
tell
us
who
came
for
those
Goods
,
and
when
.
Haywood
.
I
think
it
was
upon
a
Shrove-Tuesday
that
I
came
home
,
and
my
Wife
said
Sir
William
Parkyns
had
sent
for
his
Goods
,
and
desired
to
have
them
away
,
but
that
she
had
made
answer
,
I
was
not
at
home
,
but
should
be
at
home
soon
,
and
then
he
might
have
them
away
.
The
next
day
I
came
home
from
Litchfield
Fair
about
5
or
6
a
Clock
at
Night
;
it
was
Ash-Wednesday
at
Night
when
I
came
home
,
and
the
man
came
to
me
between
6
and
7
,
and
told
me
his
Master
desired
to
have
the
Goods
away
.
I
told
him
he
might
have
them
when
he
would
;
he
said
he
would
have
them
away
that
Night
.
I
told
him
it
was
an
unseasonable
time
:
But
,
says
he
,
the
Waggon
is
a
coming
,
and
I
desire
you
would
give
me
leave
to
take
them
away
,
which
I
did
:
Then
he
said
he
had
but
two
Horses
,
and
he
desired
me
to
lend
him
a
Horse
,
which
I
did
,
and
he
took
the
Goods
and
went
away
with
them
,
but
for
what
he
did
afterwards
with
it
,
I
know
nothing
at
all
of
it
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Then
swear
Mr.
Whestone
.
(
which
was
done
.
)
Mr.

Gen.
Pray

went

His

Goods
of

William
Parkyns
,
some
Bedding
,
and
some
odd
things
,
which
I
did
,
and
said
he
,
I
will
go
the
next
way
to
the
House
,
and
I
will
meet
you
before
you
can
get
thither
;
and
he
did
meet
me
half
a
mile
off
the
House
,
and
told
me
I
must
stay
and
not
come
to
the
House
till
it
was
night
,
till
it
was
later
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Who
told
you
so

Whetstone
,
Sir
William
Parkyns's
Man
told
me

so
he
went

.
Mr.
Att.

He

all
this

Summer
,
sometimes
more
sometimes

less
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
How
was
it
last
Winter
about

ever
he
had
was
five
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
time
was
that
that
he
had
five
pray
?
Freeman
.
To
my
best
memory
it
was
just
the
Week
before
the
Disturbance
,
before
the
Plot
broke
out
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Before
the
Proclamation
you
mean
?

Yes
before
the

Mr.

Gen.
When

Freeeman
.
Yes
I
think
so

L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Who
was
with

Freeman
.
I
only
saw
his
Groom
and
another
servant
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
How
were
they
accoutred
?
Freeman
.
Four
with
Holsters
and
small
Pistols
:
one
was
a
Led
Mare
with
a
Portmanteau
;
and
in
a
Horsecloath
wrapt
up
there
was
one
or
two
pair
of
Jack
Boots
,
and
I
think
a
Coller
in
one
,
I
cannot
tell
whether
there
was
one
Bridle
or
two
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
When
did
they
go
away
?
Freeman
.
On
Saturday
in
the
Afternoon
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
you
observe
any
Persons
to
come
there
on
Saturday
morning
?
Freeman
.
There
were
two
men
that
were
there
that
rid
out
between
two
and
three
hours
:
they
rid
out
between
Nine
and
Ten
,
and
they
came
in
again
between
Twelve
and
One
;
where
they
had
been
I
cannot
tell
,
but
they
had
rid
pretty
hard
for
the
time
they
were
out
,
for
the
Horses
came
in
in
a
sweat
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Before
this
time
that
you
now
speak
of
,
what
Horses
came
up
can
you
remember
,
how
many
Horses
came
up
the
week
before
?
Freeman
.
The
week
before
there
were
some
,
but
how
many
I
cannot
remember
;
they
very
rarely
staid
above
a
Night
.
Mr
,
Att.
Gen.
What
do
you
know
of
any
other
Horses
that
were
left
there
?
Freeman
.
There
were
three
Horses
that
were
at
our
house
a
week
,
that
were
very
good
Horses
,
but
I
do
not
know
whose
Horses
they
were
,
nor
the
names
of
the
Gentlemen
that
owned
them
.
The
Gentlemen
that
brought
them
in
paid
for
the
Horses
,
only
the
Groom
told
me
his
Master
Sir
W.
Parkyns
had
ordered
him
to
see
the
Horses
fed
.
I
never
received
a
farthing
of
Sir
W.
Parkyns
but
always
of
the
Groom
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
did
you
observe
any
particular
Horse
that
was
brought
in
there
,
a
Roan
Horse
?
Freeman
.
Yes
there
was
one
Horse
brought
in
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
From
whence
did
that
Horse
come
.
Freeman
.
As
was
told
me
from
Montague
house
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
I
believe
you
mistake
the
Place
,
recollect
your self
a
little
.
Freeman
.
Somerset
house
I
mean
,
a
Porter
brought
it
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Are
you
sure
it
was
Somerset
house
?
Freeman
.
Yes
it
was
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Do
you
know
one
Lewis
?
Freeman
.
I
do
not
know
him
,
perhaps
the
Tapster
does
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
How
many
Horses
came
from
Somerset
house
?
Freeman
.
Only
the
Roan
Gelding
,
and
a
very
fat
Man
mounted
him
and
rid
out
with
Sir
W.
Parkyns
.
Parkyns
.
Pray
Sir
what
sort
of
Horse
was
that
Bay
Gelding
that
you
say
the
fat
man
rid
upon
?
Freeman
.
I
say
he
rid
upon
a
little
Roan
Gelding
about
14
hands
high
.
Parkyns
.
But
the
Bay
Gelding
how
high
was
that
?
Freeman
.
About
14
hands
high
.
Parkyns
.
There
's
your
mighty
Horse
for
Service
.
Freeman
.
They
were
no
great
sized
Horses
none
of
them
.
Parkyns
.
And
have
not
you
known
these
Horses
to
have
been
mine
a
great
while
?
Freeman
.
Yes
I
have
known
them
to
be
yours
a
good
while
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
What
was
the
Roan
Gelding
Sir
W.
Parkyns
?
Freeman
.
No
not
the
Roan
but
the
others
:
they
were
no
strange
Horses
,
they
were
frequently
there
all
last
Summer
:
there
was
no
new
strange
Horse
but
the
Roan
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Will
you
ask
him
any
more
Questions
?
Parkyns
.
No
my
Lord
.
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
Then
set
up
Mr.
Turton
.
(
which
was
done
)
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
will
you
give
an
Account
what
you
know
of
Horses
that
were
standing
at
the
George-Inn
in
Holbourn
.
Turton
.
I
have
known
Sir
W.
Parkyns
to
have
used
the
Inn
this
4
or
5
Years
,
ever
since
the
Inn
was
Built
;
and
in
last
February
he
came
to
Town
with
three
horses
the
first
time
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
Day
of
the
month
was
that
?
Turton
.
I
cannot
say
what
Day
of
the
month
,
but
it
was
about
the
Week
before
his
last
coming
there
,
which
was
just
before
the
discovery
of
the
Plot.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Do
you
know
what
day
of
the
Week
it
was
?
Turton
.
No
truly
I
do
not
,
for
I
keep
no
account
of
Horses
going
in
or
out
.
The
last
time
of
his
coming
was
with
about
4
or
5
Horses
to
the
best
of
my
knowledge
,
and
that
was
upon
the
Friday
before
the
Plot
broke
out
;
and
then
upon
that
Friday
,
Sir
W.
Parkyns
gave
order
to
his
Groom
to
get
the
Horses
ready
against
Saturday
morning
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
he
go
out
with
his
Horses
on
Saturday
morning
?
Turton
.
He
did
not
go
out
with
all
the
Horses
according
as
he
had
given
order
;
but
two
Gentlemen
rid
out
with
two
of
the
Horses
,
and
staid
out
about
two
or
three
hours
and
came
in
again
,
as
if
they
had
rid
pretty
hard
,
the
Horses
being
in
a
sweat
;
and
in
the
Afternoon
they
all
went
fairly
out
of
Town
,
and
gave
out
that
they
expected
to
be
in
Town
on
Sunday
or
Monday
following
,
but
they
did
not
return
;
but
then
came
down
one
Mr.
Lewis
,
I
know
not
that
that
is
his
Name
,
only
when
I
formerly
belonged
to
my
Lord
of
Oxford
,
I
knew
him
to
be
Gentleman
of
the
Horse
to
my
Lord
Feversham
,
But
I
did
not
know
his
Name
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Had
you
not
seen
him
there
before
,
what
time
did
he
come
?
Turton
.
I
do
not
know
that
I
ever
saw
him
there
before
;
he
was
on
Saturday
in
our
Yard
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
You
are
asked
when
Lewis
came
?
Turton
.
The
first
time
I
see
him
was
on
Saturday
,
in
the
Yard
asking
for
Sir
W.
Parkyns
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
What
time
on
Saturday
was
that
?
Turton
.
It
might
be
three
of
the
Clock
in
the
Afternoon
,
about
an
hour
or
thereabouts
before
Sir
William
Parkyns
Horses
went
away
;
and
asking
for
Sir
W.
Parkyns
,
and
he
not
being
there
,
he
returned
back
again
;
and
after
they
were
gone
he
came
again
,
and
I
told
him
they
were
gone
,
but
the
Groom
had
acquainted
me
,
and
given
me
an
account
,
that
he
would
be
there
again
on
Sunday
or
Monday
.
On
Sunday
in
the
Afternoon
about
five
or
six
,
Mr.
Lewis
came
to
enquire
if
Sir
W.
Parkyns
Horses
were
come
to
Town
;
I
told
him
no
:
and
so
he
came
again
upon
Monday
morning
betwixt
eight
and
nine
of
the
Clock
,
and
asked
me
if
I
heard
nothing
of
his
coming
to
Town
;
I
told
him
no
I
did
not
hear
of
his
coming
again
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
The
Horses
that
came
up
on
Friday
night
,
how
were
they
accoutred
?
Turton
.
Two
or
three
of
them
had
Holsters
;
I
cannot
say
but
for
Pistols
they
had
four
or
five
Case
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Had
they
no
Carbines
?
Turton
,
No
,
but
only
Horse-Pistols
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
you
not
observe
any
other
Arms
,
or
other
Furniture
?
Turton
,
I
did
see
a
pair
or
two
of
Jack-Boots
that
they
Rid
in
,
but
I
did
not
see
any
more
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Were
there
any
that
were
wrapt
up
in
a
Horse-Cloth
?
Turton
,
No
,
I
did
not
see
any
,
they
were
not
brought
into
the
House
.
Mr.
Cooper
,
Do
you
know
what
time
the
Horses
were
Sadled
that
Day
?
Turton
,
No
,
I
did
not
.
Parkyns
,
You
observ'd
,
and
said
there
were
two
or
three
Cases
of
Pistols
,
did
not
I
always
Ride
with
Pistols
.
Turton
,
Yes
,
you
seldom
came
without
two
or
three
pair
when
you
came
with
Servants
.
Parkyns
,
And
as
to
the
Jack-Boots
you
said
we
Rid
in
them
?
Turton
,
I
suppose
so
.
Parkyns
,
We
alighted
at
Mr.
John's
House
,
and
so
our
Boots
were
sent
thither
:
and
these
were
small
Horses
all
of
them
,
pray
will
you
tell
the
Court
what
siz'd
Horses
they
were
,
was
there
ever
a
great
Horse
among
them
?
Turton
,
Never
a
one
,
I
believe
that
exceeded
above
Fourteen
Hands
and
a
half
,
some
under
Fourteen
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Did
you
see
the
Roan
Gelding
,
what
size
was
that
?
Turton
,
A
small
Padd
that
might
be
about
Thirteen
and
a
half
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
you
ever
see
him
come
with
so
many
Horses
before
?
Turton
,
I
have
seen
more
at
the
Sword
and
Buckler
,
when
I
lived
there
;
and
he
used
to
Inn
there
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
How
many
have
you
seen
at
the
Sword
and
Buckler
?
Turton
,
I
have
seen
four
or
five
at
a
time
,
but
this
is
many
years
ago
,
Seven
or
Eight
years
ago
;
when
he
used
to
keep
his
Coach
and
Four
Horses
,
and
come
up
with
several
Saddle
Horses
with
him
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
How
long
have
you
lived
at
the
Georgs
Inn
?
Turton
,
About
Two
years
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
you
observe
any
other
Horses
that
stood
there
?
Turton
,
There
were
two
that
were
pretty
sizeable
Horses
,
larger
than
any
of
Sir
William's
own
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Whose
were
they
?
Turton
,
I
cannot
tell
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
any
Body
own
them
?
Turton
,
I
don't
know
who
owned
them
,
there
was
one
that
paid
for
their
Meat
,
and
took
them
away
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Who
is
that
?
Turton
,
Truly
,
Sir
,
I
cannot
tell
,
I
do
not
know
who
he
was
;
I
never
saw
him
in
my
Life
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Has
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
any
more
Questions
to
ask
him
?
Parkyns
,
No
,
Sir
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Then
,
my
Lord
,
we
shall
call
no
more
Witnesses
,
unless
he
gives
further
occasion
,
we
leave
it
here
till
we
hear
what
he
says
to
it
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
Mr.
Attorney
General
,
and
the
King's
Counsel
have
done
;
now
,
is
your
time
to
make
your
Defence
.
Parkyns
,
My
Lord
,
I
relie
upon
your
Lordship
for
my
Defence
?
For
I
am
ignorant
of
these
proceedings
;
I
relie
wholly
upon
your
Lordship
,
to
give
a
true
account
of
them
to
the
Jury
:
I
hope
your
Lordship
is
so
Just
,
that
you
will
Repeat
the
Evidence
to
the
Jury
as
it
is
,
and
no
otherwise
.
But
I
do
not
observe
,
that
as
to
the
Assassination
there
is
more
than
one
Witness
,
and
that
is
Captain
Porter
:
there
is
not
a
tittle
more
!
and
as
to
that
,
I
suppose
your
Lordship
will
declare
to
the
Jury
,
that
I
was
not
concerned
in
it
;
and
Captain
Porter
declares
,
I
was
to
have
no
hand
in
it
,
onely
I
was
to
furnish
Five
Horses
,
and
accidentally
I
was
at
some
Meetings
,
but
he
does
not
declare
that
I
was
to
do
any
thing
in
particular
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Yes
,
yes
,
you
agreed
upon
the
Debates
to
the
several
Resolutions
,
of
Assassinating
the
King
,
and
said
,
that
it
was
necessary
and
fit
to
take
him
off
.
Parkyns
,
Still
,
that
is
but
one
Witness
,
I
deny
it
utterly
,
and
the
Law
says
positively
there
shall
be
two
Witnesses
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Not
to
every
Overt-Act
,
there
is
no
Law
says
so
.
Parkyns
,
As
to
the
Assassination
there
is
but
one
,
no
other
but
he
;
and
so
as
to
the
Regiment
he
did
not
say
that
I
was
to
raise
a
Regiment
;
but
that
he
was
told
by
a
Gentleman
that
I
had
been
desired
to
be
in
the
matter
,
but
I
would
not
,
because
I
had
engaged
in
another
business
,
about
a
Regiment
,
but
this
was
all
but
hear
say
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Yes
,
he
said
you
own'd
you
had
a
Regiment
.
Besides
it
is
said
,
you
own'd
you
had
your
Saddles
,
and
your
Troop
consisted
of
Old
Soldiers
.
Parkyns
,
No
,
Captain
Porter
never
said
so
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
That
was
Sweet
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
You
told
Porter
,
you
had
a
Regiment
to
look
after
.
Parkyns
,
Captain
Porter
is
here
,
I
desire
he
wou'd
explain
himself
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Yes
,
and
you
told
Sweet
,
that
your
Troop
consisted
of
Old
Soldiers
,
and
that
you
had
bought
Thirty
Saddles
.
Parkyns
,
My
Troop
,
aye
!
but
still
there
was
nothing
of
a
Regiment
;
nor
did
they
say
I
had
raised
a
Regiment
,
or
a
Troop
,
or
was
to
raise
a
Regiment
.
Sweet
,
You
told
me
your
Troop
consisted
of
Old
Soldiers
.
I
did
not
say
that
you
said
,
you
had
raised
or
wou'd
raise
,
but
it
did
consist
of
Old
Soldiers
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
He
says
,
that
which
makes
it
plain
,
that
you
were
to
have
a
Troop
,
or
had
a
Troop
,
consisting
of
Old
Soldiers
,
besides
Voluntiers
that
had
been
Officers
:
and
that
you
had
bought
a
great
many
Saddles
,
Thirty
Saddles
;
and
you
were
to
go
into
Leicester-Shire
,
and
accordingly
you
did
go
,
and
upon
your
return
,
you
did
give
an
account
that
all
was
well
,
and
the
West
was
as
well
inclined
to
King
James's
Interest
as
the
North.
Parkyns
,
That
I
went
into
Leicester-Shire
,
and
met
several
Gentlemen
,
and
that
they
were
all
well
inclined
;
I
hope
that
is
no
Evidence
of
Treason
against
me
:
Every
body
ought
to
be
well
inclined
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Aye
!
But
they
were
all
well
disposed
,
or
inclined
to
King
James's
Interest
.
Parkyns
,
He
did
not
say
so
,
if
your
Lordship
pleases
to
call
him
again
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Call
him
again
.
Sweet
was
set
up
again
.
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
What
did
Sir
William
Parkyns
tell
you
of
his
Journey
into
Leicester-Shire
?
Sweet
,
He
said
that
he
had
been
there
,
and
had
met
his
Friends
,
and
all
was
well
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
What
did
he
say
?
Did
he
Name
King
James
?
Sweet
,
He
did
not
Name
King
James
to
me
at
that
time
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
What
was
the
Discourse
about
,
that
they
were
all
well
inclined
to
?
Sweet
,
He
always
named
it
the
King's
Interest
,
and
did
not
name
King
James
,
but
I
understood
it
,
and
always
took
it
to
be
King
James
he
meant
.
Mr.
Mountaigne
,
What
did
he
say
of
the
North
and
West
.
Sweet
,
He
said
that
the
West
was
as
well
inclined
to
the
King's
Interest
as
the
North.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
did
he
say
before
he
went
?
Sweet
,
He
told
me
he
was
to
go
into
Leicester-Shire
,
to
meet
some
of
the
King's
Friends
.
Parkyns
,
Pray
,
Recollect
your self
,
and
consider
what
you
say
.
Sweet
,
He
said
some
Gentlemen
Rid
as
far
to
meet
him
,
as
he
did
to
meet
them
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Was
that
the
time
he
talk'd
about
the
Troop
?
Sweet
,
No
,
that
was
before
this
time
.
I
cannot
remember
the
particular
time
;
it
was
at
his
own
House
,
and
Captain
Sindamore
was
with
him
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
When
was
the
Discourse
about
King
James's
Landing
?
Sweet
,
He
told
me
that
he
believed
now
that
King
James
wou'd
Land
,
he
said
he
had
his
own
Word
for
it
,
it
was
about
Christmas
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
did
he
say
about
preparation
for
it
?
Sweet
,
He
said
his
own
Troop
was
to
consist
of
Old
Soldiers
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Did
he
tell
you
he
had
a
Troop
?
Sweet
,
I
speak
his
own
Words
,
he
said
,
my
Troop
consists
of
all
Old
Soldiers
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Was
it
consists
,
or
will
consist
,
though
I
think
there
may
be
no
great
matter
of
difference
in
this
case
?
Parkyns
,
Yes
,
my
Lord
,
but
there
is
a
great
deal
sure
,
for
will
consists
shews
nothing
yet
done
,
and
all
is
but
Words
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Sweet
,
Answer
to
Sir
William
Parkyns's
Question
.
Sweet
,
I
tell
your
Lordship
,
I
repeat
his
own
Words
,
my
Troop
consists
or
is
composed
of
all
Old
Soldiers
.
Mr.
Cowper
,
What
did
he
say
of
Voluntiers
?
Sweet
,
He
said
,
there
were
some
Gentlemen
that
would
go
along
with
him
as
Voluntiers
,
that
had
been
Old
Officers
.
Mr.
Cowper
,
Pray
,
let
me
ask
another
Question
;
when
he
Discoursed
of
the
present
King
,
by
what
Name
did
he
use
to
speak
of
him
?
Sweet
,
He
called
him
by
the
Name
of
the
Prince
of
Orange
.
Parkyns
,
Pray
recollect
your self
,
Mr.
Sweet
,
and
think
of
what
you
say
,
since
he
was
declared
King
,
did
I
ever
call
him
Prince
of
Orange
?
I
am
upon
my
Life
,
and
pray
speak
nothing
but
the
truth
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Consider
,
and
answer
the
question
,
what
did
he
use
to
call
him
?
Sweet
,
Truly
,
my
Lord
,
I
am
not
positive
as
to
that
,
I
understood
it
so
.
I
never
knew
that
he
allowed
him
to
be
King
of
England
.
Parkyns
,
Did
you
ever
hear
me
call
him
Prince
of
Orange
since
he
was
King
?
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Look
ye
,
Sir
,
how
long
have
you
been
acquainted
with
him
?
Sweet
,
About
Three
years
,
my
Lord
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Well
,
that
is
long
since
his
Majesty
was
declared
King
,
have
you
ever
heard
Sir
William
Parkyns
call
this
King
Prince
of
Orange
:
Sweet
,
I
am
not
positive
in
that
,
but
I
understood
he
did
not
allow
him
to
be
King
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
You
frequently
discoursed
with
him
about
the
Government
it
seems
;
pray
what
did
he
use
to
call
him
.
Sweet
,
I
have
heard
him
call
him
King
William
,
and
the
little
Gentleman
.
Parkyns
,
When
ever
did
you
hear
me
call
him
the
little
Gentleman
?
Mr.
Sweet
,
pray
,
when
you
are
upon
your
Oath
consider
well
,
and
recollect
your Self
,
and
don't
answer
rashly
and
suddenly
,
but
think
of
what
you
say
.
I
always
express'd
my self
,
when
I
had
occasion
to
speak
of
him
,
and
called
him
King
William
,
as
other
people
use
to
do
,
I
never
used
the
words
,
little
Gentleman
,
nor
Prince
of
Orange
neither
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Did
you
ever
hear
him
call
him
otherwise
than
King
William
.
He
paused
a
while
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Pray
speak
the
truth
,
and
no
more
.
Sweet
,
I
have
heard
him
call
him
Prince
of
Orange
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
But
you
have
heard
him
call
him
King
William
too
?
Mr.
Sweet
,
Yes
,
Mr.
Cowper
,
But
pray
when
he
spoke
of
the
King
,
what
King
did
you
understand
by
it
?
Sweet
,
I
used
to
understand
King
James
.
Parkyns
,
What
is
that
to
me
what
he
understood
?
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
But
I
would
observe
to
you
one
thing
,
when
you
came
from
Leicester-shire
,
you
talk'd
how
well
disposed
they
were
to
the
King's
Interest
;
he
says
,
he
understood
that
King
to
be
King
James
,
and
you
said
the
West
was
as
well
disposed
as
the
North
;
pray
now
,
were
you
imployed
by
King
William
to
see
how
the
Gentlemen
stood
affected
to
him
?
Parkyns
,
No
,
nor
by
King
James
neither
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Why
then
should
you
concern
your self
for
the
King's
Friends
,
in
the
West
and
the
North
?
Parkyns
,
I
never
was
in
the
West
in
my
Life
,
and
therefore
I
can't
tell
why
I
should
tell
him
any
thing
about
the
West
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
,
Sir
,
when
was
it
that
Sir
William
Parkyns
spoke
about
the
King's
Landing
?
Sweet
,
It
was
about
Christmas
,
he
said
he
believed
he
would
Land
.
Parkyns
,
Did
I
tell
you
positively
it
would
be
so
then
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
He
tells
you
he
said
you
did
believe
it
,
for
you
had
it
from
his
own
Mouth
.
Parkyns
,
That
shews
it
is
not
probable
I
should
tell
him
so
,
that
I
should
have
it
from
his
own
Mouth
,
carries
such
an
improbability
with
it
,
that
the
Evidence
is
Felo
de
.
se
,
it
destroys
it self
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
He
does
not
say
you
had
it
from
his
own
Mouth
,
but
that
you
had
his
word
for
it
,
and
this
being
about
Christmas
,
long
after
our
King
was
return'd
,
it
could
mean
no
other
King
but
King
James
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Look
you
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
there
is
another
thing
I
would
observe
,
why
did
you
send
your
Man
to
Kensington
to
one
Brown
?
who
is
that
Brown
,
and
what
was
the
Man
that
lodged
at
the
Confectioners
in
Holbourn
.
Parkyns
,
I
cannot
tell
who
it
was
,
I
know
neither
Brown
nor
the
other
Man
,
but
I
sent
my
Man
at
the
request
of
Mr.
Charnock
,
who
lodged
in
the
same
House
with
me
;
he
desired
he
might
go
upon
an
Errand
for
him
to
Kensington
,
and
I
directed
him
to
go
upon
such
an
Errand
,
for
he
was
formerly
Mr.
Charnock's
Servant
,
and
I
desired
him
to
go
of
the
Errand
if
he
requested
it
.
Who
these
Men
were
I
know
not
,
neither
of
them
,
nor
any
of
their
Business
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
But
he
was
bid
by
the
Man
that
lodged
at
the
Confectioners
to
tell
his
Master
that
he
would
stay
within
for
him
.
Parkyns
,
That
might
be
Mr.
Charnock
,
for
he
was
his
Servant
once
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
But
he
says
he
carry'd
the
Message
to
you
,
and
you
receiv'd
it
.
Well
have
you
any
more
to
say
?
Parkyns
,
My
Lord
,
I
think
there
is
but
one
positive
Evidence
of
any
one
Overt-Act
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Yes
,
what
do
you
think
of
the
design
of
bringing
in
King
James
,
and
consulting
about
it
,
and
assisting
in
the
Invasion
,
and
preparing
a
Troop
,
and
providing
Arms
and
Horses
,
are
not
these
Overt-Acts
.
Do
you
think
your
having
a
Troop
of
old
Soldiers
is
no
Overt-Act
?
Parkyns
,
There
is
no
positive
proof
of
any
Troop
,
or
any
Arms.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
It
is
proved
there
were
Arms
sent
by
you
at
Michaelmas
last
to
Mr.
Haywoods
,
Chernock's
Brother-in-Law
,
and
these
lay
there
till
Ashwednesday
last
,
after
your
Name
was
in
the
Proclamation
,
and
then
they
were
removed
in
the
Night
,
and
buryed
at
your
House
,
and
were
taken
up
there
,
and
here
is
an
Account
given
what
Arms
they
were
,
Four
dozen
of
Swords
,
Twenty
five
pair
of
Pistols
,
Thirty
two
Carabines
.
Parkyns
,
First
it
does
not
appear
when
these
Arms
were
bought
,
nor
for
what
intent
they
were
brought
from
Haywoods
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
But
what
use
had
you
,
a
private
Man
,
for
so
many
Arms
,
and
then
your
going
into
Leicester-shire
to
meet
some
Gentlemen
,
and
your
giving
an
account
how
they
stood
affected
to
the
King's
Interest
,
whether
that
be
understood
for
the
Interest
of
King
James
,
I
must
leave
to
the
Jury
,
since
you
give
us
no
account
that
you
were
imployed
by
King
William
.
Parkyns
,
My
Lord
,
I
went
upon
my
private
Occasions
,
and
then
talk'd
of
News
as
other
people
do
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
But
when
you
returned
back
again
,
you
declared
all
was
well
,
and
gave
an
account
how
persons
were
dispos'd
in
the
West
and
North.
Parkyns
,
Is
there
any
persons
named
,
or
particulars
?
Can
it
be
an
Overt-Act
of
Treason
for
me
to
discover
my
acquaintance
?
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
But
your
going
with
that
design
to
engage
in
an
interest
against
the
King
,
and
for
the
late
King
.
Parkyns
,
He
does
not
say
discovered
my
design
.
I
went
to
meet
with
some
Friends
of
my
own
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Did
not
he
tell
you
he
was
to
go
into
Leicester-Shire
?
Sweet
,
Yes
,
he
did
so
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Did
he
tell
you
to
what
purpose
?
Sweet
,
He
said
he
was
to
go
to
meet
some
of
the
King's
Friends
.
Parkyns
,
Did
I
tell
you
who
?
Sweet
,
No.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
But
there
was
a
Lord's
Brother
,
what
did
he
tell
you
of
that
?
Sweet
,
He
said
all
things
were
well
,
and
the
West
was
as
well
inclined
as
the
North.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
To
what
?
Sweet
,
To
the
King's
Interest
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Treby
,
You
spoke
of
a
Lord's
Brother
that
was
concerned
?
Sweet
,
He
said
several
Persons
of
Quality
in
the
West
were
concerned
,
and
a
Lord's
Brother
was
among
them
.
Juryman
,
My
Lord
,
I
desire
he
may
be
ask'd
,
when
he
said
the
King
would
Land
,
what
King
he
meant
,
whether
he
named
the
Late
King
,
or
King
James
.
L.
Ch.
Just.
Holt
,
Well
,
Answer
that
?
when
he
Discoursed
to
you
of
the
King
's
Landing
,
did
he
Name
the
Late
King
James
?
or
did
he
say
the
Late
King
James
?
Juryman
,
Was
he
mentioned
in
the
Discourse
?
Sweet
,
He
never
used
to
mention
King
James
to
me
,
but
only
the
King
,
which
I
understood
always
of
King
James
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
what
time
was
it
that
he
spoke
of
the
King
's
Landing
?
Sweet
.
It
was
about
Christmas
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Therefore
no
other
King
could
be
meant
but
King
James
,
for
there
was
no
other
King
to
Land
at
that
time
;
and
he
said
he
had
the
King's
word
for
it
;
I
suppose
he
can't
pretend
he
had
King
William's
word
for
it
.
Parkyns
.
I
hope
,
to
talk
of
the
King
's
Landing
is
no
Treason
,
it
is
but
words
;
if
I
tell
an
idle
Story
of
what
I
think
may
come
to
pass
,
shall
that
be
reckoned
Treason
?
Then
for
him
to
say
,
I
had
it
from
the
King
's
own
Mouth
,
it
is
impossible
to
be
true
,
and
it
an
Overt
Act
,
being
only
Words
,
and
cannot
be
reputed
Treason
.
And
then
as
to
the
other
two
Parts
of
the
Charge
,
the
Consultations
which
my
Lord
of
Ailsbury
,
and
those
other
Persons
,
there
is
but
one
Witness
,
no
body
but
Porter
,
neither
is
there
any
more
but
he
for
the
Assassination
,
his
Evidence
is
but
a
single
proof
,
and
there
ought
to
be
two
positive
Witnesses
by
the
Law
to
each
Overt
Act.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
No
,
there
ought
to
be
two
Witnesses
to
each
Species
of
Treason
,
that
's
all
.
Parkyns
.
There
ought
to
be
two
Witnesses
to
both
these
parts
of
the
Treason
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
I
must
tell
you
,
Sir
Willian
Parkyns
,
If
any
person
does
Design
and
Contrive
that
the
Realm
should
be
Invaded
,
or
the
King
Deposed
,
and
another
set
upon
the
Throne
,
that
Conspiring
to
Invade
the
Realm
,
or
Depose
the
King
are
Overt
Acts
of
High
Treason
,
within
the
Statute
of
25.
Ed.
3.
and
the
same
Species
of
Treason
as
designing
to
Assassinate
him
is
.
It
is
Compassing
,
Designing
,
Imagining
his
Death
,
and
Destruction
.
Now
the
Question
is
,
Whether
there
is
not
another
Witness
,
besides
Capt.
Porter
,
to
prove
another
Over
Act
of
this
Design
.
Parkyns
.
I
don't
find
there
is
,
for
all
the
rest
is
only
Discourse
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Yes
,
for
what
do
you
think
providing
Arms
for
that
purpose
is
only
Discourse
?
Parkyns
.
The
Witnesses
don't
say
,
for
what
purpose
the
Arms
were
bought
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Nor
do
you
tell
us
of
any
other
purpose
.
Parkyns
.
My
Lord
,
it
does
not
appear
when
they
were
bought
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Ay
,
but
what
occasion
had
you
for
such
a
quantity
of
Arms
?
Parkyns
.
My
Lord
,
I
did
not
buy
them
after
all
.
I
found
them
,
if
I
had
had
liberty
to
have
sent
down
for
Witnesses
.
I
could
have
proved
,
that
these
Arms
were
in
Boxes
all
Rusty
in
my
House
,
when
I
first
came
to
it
.
L.
C.
J.
Bolt
.
Ay
,
but
why
were
they
buried
,
just
at
the
time
when
the
Plot
was
broke
out
,
and
the
whole
Design
discovered
?
Parkyns
.
I
can't
tell
,
my
Lord
,
how
to
help
it
,
if
they
will
make
an
ill
Interpretation
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
What
Interpretation
would
you
have
us
make
?
Parkyns
.
My
Lord
,
It
is
very
easie
to
imagine
,
People
don't
care
to
be
found
with
Arms
at
such
a
time
;
but
however
the
having
of
Arms
is
no
Treason
.
They
are
as
much
a
Commodity
as
any
thing
else
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
And
then
the
Horses
coming
to
Town
just
at
such
a
time
,
and
the
Saddles
.
Parkyns
.
I
have
not
bought
a
Horse
this
two
Years
,
and
I
travelled
in
no
other
manner
than
I
used
to
do
.
So
the
Groom
tells
ye
,
I
used
to
come
to
Town
with
three
or
four
Horses
always
.
I
never
kept
less
than
six
or
seven
Horses
this
twenty
Years
,
sometimes
a
great
many
more
;
and
they
were
little
Horses
,
Padds
,
no
way
fit
for
the
Service
they
are
presumed
to
be
for
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Have
you
any
thing
more
to
say
,
Sir
?
Parkyns
.
I
hope
,
my
Lord
,
as
to
the
Assassination
I
am
clear
:
Perhaps
the
World
may
imagine
,
I
have
had
some
Inclinations
to
King
James's
Service
,
and
perhaps
they
may
not
think
amiss
;
but
I
never
did
any
thing
,
nor
had
an
opportunity
to
do
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
God
be
thanked
you
had
no
opportunity
.
Parkyns
.
And
I
hope
my
Life
shall
not
be
taken
away
without
proof
,
I
hope
it
will
be
rather
thought
,
that
every
one
should
be
taken
to
be
Innocent
,
and
it
should
better
please
the
King
,
that
I
should
be
acquitted
,
than
to
let
me
be
found
guilty
upon
slight
Grounds
,
and
Imaginations
,
of
which
little
or
nothing
can
be
made
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
No
question
of
it
,
it
will
please
the
King
,
and
every
body
else
;
that
you
should
be
found
Innocent
.
Parkyns
..
Then
,
I
hope
,
my
Lord
,
you
will
not
strain
the
Law
to
take
away
my
Life
;
according
to
the
Rule
,
That
it
is
better
five
guilty
Men
should
escape
,
than
one
innocent
Man
suffer
:
For
the
Blood
of
a
Man
may
lie
upon
every
body
,
if
it
be
causelesly
shed
;
and
it
is
very
severe
to
strain
the
Law
to
take
away
any
Man's
Life
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Look
ye
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
I
must
tell
you
,
You
may
be
under
a
very
great
mistake
;
you
may
think
it
necessary
to
have
two
Witnesses
to
every
Overt
Act
,
but
that
is
not
so
;
for
if
there
be
one
Witness
to
one
Overt
Act
,
and
another
Witness
to
another
Overt
Act
of
the
same
Species
of
Treason
;
that
is
all
that
the
Law
requires
.
Parkyns
.
Here
are
two
Species
of
Treason
,
Leying
War
is
one
Specie
,
and
Assassination
is
another
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Your
Design
was
Originally
,
the
Restoring
of
King
James
,
and
in
order
to
that
the
Dethroning
of
King
William
.
Parkyns
.
That
appears
but
by
one
Witness
which
is
not
according
to
Law
,
which
requires
two
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
One
way
of
effecting
your
Design
was
by
Assassination
,
the
other
by
Invasion
,
or
by
Force
.
Parkyns
.
Still
,
my
Lord
,
here
is
the
same
Witness
,
and
that
is
but
one
:
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Yes
,
there
are
two
.
Parkyns
.
None
but
Capt.
Porter
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
What
,
not
,
as
to
the
Restoring
of
King
James
,
which
tends
to
the
Dethroning
King
William
.
Parkyns
.
In
what
Particulars
,
my
Lord
?
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Your
providing
Arms
,
and
going
to
Leicester-shire
,
and
sending
Charnock
on
that
Errand
into
France
.
As
to
the
Assassination
,
indeed
there
is
but
one
positive
Witness
besides
other
Circumstances
which
have
their
weight
,
but
as
to
the
other
,
you
said
the
King
would
come
.
—
Parkyns
.
It
was
my
Opinion
,
that
's
all
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
But
you
said
you
had
his
word
for
it
.
Parkyns
.
Does
not
that
Answer
it self
,
my
Lord
?
is
it
possible
it
should
be
true
,
that
I
who
was
in
England
should
have
the
word
of
one
that
is
at
such
a
distance
beyond
Sea
?
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
And
then
your
buying
of
Saddles
,
for
what
purpose
were
they
?
Parkyns
.
My
Lord
,
does
he
say
it
was
in
order
to
it
?
I
am
sure
he
does
not
,
and
I
hope
I
shall
not
be
presum'd
out
of
my
Life
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
When
you
talkt
of
the
King
's
Landing
,
and
said
,
you
had
his
word
for
it
;
you
likewise
said
,
your
Troop
was
made
up
of
old
Soldiers
,
besides
Voluntiers
that
had
been
Officers
.
Parkyns
.
Still
there
is
nothing
done
;
he
does
not
say
,
there
was
one
Man
raised
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
And
your
going
into
Leicestershire
upon
such
an
Errand
,
as
you
told
him
you
went
upon
.
Parkyns
.
Well
,
my
Lord
,
I
must
leave
it
to
your
Lordship
.
I
hope
you
will
consider
well
of
it
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
We
must
do
that
which
is
right
between
the
King
and
his
Subjects
.
Parkyns
.
And
,
I
hope
,
my
Lord
,
the
Conversion
of
Subjects
is
more
acceptable
than
the
Destruction
of
them
;
and
the
Governement
is
more
concern'd
to
save
the
Innocent
,
than
to
stretch
the
Law
to
punish
Guilty
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
It
will
be
more
acceptable
,
and
indeed
the
King
and
Kingdom
are
very
much
concerned
in
this
matter
,
and
at
this
time
,
Sir
William
,
and
the
Government
ought
to
take
care
to
preserve
it self
.
Have
you
any
more
to
say
,
Sir
,
if
you
have
,
pray
speak
it
?
Parkyns
.
I
have
no
more
.
I
submit
it
to
your
Lordship
:
I
think
there
is
but
one
Witness
,
and
all
the
other
is
but
Conjecture
and
Nonsence
;
and
one
Witness
is
not
sufficient
,
by
the
Law
of
England
,
for
by
the
Statute
there
must
be
two
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
I
have
told
you
my
Opinon
.
Parkyns
.
Besides
,
your
Lordship
has
knowm
me
this
many
Years
,
and
you
know
that
my
Education
was
not
to
War
,
and
Fighting
,
but
the
Gown
;
and
your
Lordship
knows
how
peaceably
I
have
lived
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
I
have
known
you
heretofore
,
Sir
William
,
while
you
kept
your
Profession
and
your
Gown
.
Parkyns
.
And
now
in
my
old
Age
,
my
Lord
,
I
am
grown
Lame
,
and
lost
the
use
of
my
Hands
with
the
Gout
,
and
scarce
able
almost
to
go
on
my
Feet
.
Therefore
it
cannot
in
reason
be
thought
probable
,
that
I
should
engage
in
such
a
business
as
this
;
and
therefore
I
hope
you
will
interpret
all
things
in
a
milder
Sence
,
in
favour
of
Life
,
rather
than
for
the
destruction
of
it
,
and
the
ruine
of
a
Man's
Fortune
and
Family
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
I
tell
you
,
You
have
had
my
Opinion
cocerning
the
number
of
Witnesses
.
I
suppose
,
my
Lord
and
Borther
will
declare
theirs
.
L.
C.
J.
Treby
.
My
Lord
Chief
Justice
,
it
seems
,
does
please
to
have
us
deliver
our
Opinions
;
I
think
we
ought
to
be
very
tender
in
a
Case
of
Blood
:
I
think
the
life
of
Sir
William
Parkyns
is
at
stake
,
and
we
ought
to
be
carefull
that
he
have
no
wrong
done
him
:
but
I
think
in
the
Cases
of
Treason
,
especially
of
this
nature
,
the
life
of
the
King
,
and
the
lives
of
all
the
innocent
People
of
the
Kingdom
are
also
at
stake
;
and
we
must
be
indifferent
in
this
case
,
and
by
the
Grace
of
God
we
will
be
so
.
The
Question
that
Sir
W.
Parkyns
proposes
,
is
,
Whether
there
are
two
Witnesses
upon
this
Evidence
,
to
this
matter
of
which
he
is
indicted
,
which
is
,
the
Compassing
and
Imagining
the
King's
Death
.
One
Witness
,
at
least
,
does
positively
prove
,
that
you
Sir
William
Parkyns
did
agree
to
the
Design
of
assassinating
the
King's
person
,
and
promise
to
provide
and
contribute
Horses
and
Arms
to
that
purpose
.
Now
suppose
this
is
proved
but
by
one
Witness
,
and
the
Evidence
had
gone
no
further
,
then
your
Objection
would
have
had
a
very
good
ground
,
that
this
could
not
be
a
legal
Proof
of
Treason
;
but
I
must
tell
you
,
that
this
Treason
of
Compassing
and
Imagining
the
King's
Death
may
be
made
evident
by
other
Overt-Acts
,
besides
that
of
Assassination
:
To
conspire
with
a
foreign
Prince
,
to
invade
the
Realm
,
to
provide
Arms
,
to
joyn
with
Invaders
,
and
to
make
an
Insurrection
against
the
King
,
these
are
Overt-Acts
of
Imagining
the
King's
Death
.
For
it
cannot
be
supposed
,
but
that
he
that
would
have
an
Invasion
and
an
Insurrection
against
the
King's
Person
,
does
intend
the
Destruction
of
the
King
;
he
that
would
take
away
all
his
Defence
,
which
he
might
have
by
the
Assistance
of
his
Subjects
,
and
leave
him
exposed
to
his
mortal
Enemies
,
cannot
but
be
presumed
to
design
the
King's
Ruin
and
Murder
.
Therefore
,
Sir
William
,
such
things
being
in
their
Nature
a
Compassing
and
Imagining
the
King's
Death
;
your
providing
Arms
and
a
Troop
are
Evidences
and
Overt-Acts
of
this
Treason
;
and
so
will
your
going
up
and
down
and
meeting
People
in
order
to
rise
,
if
that
were
your
business
in
Leicestershire
,
&c.
as
it
seems
by
the
Evidence
it
was
.
Parkyns
.
But
that
is
not
said
,
my
Lord
,
I
humbly
beg
your
pardon
for
interrupting
you
;
it
is
not
said
,
That
I
met
them
to
rise
,
by
no
Evidence
whatsoever
,
and
therefore
,
pray
my
Lord
,
do
not
inforce
it
beyond
what
the
Evidence
has
proved
;
he
said
,
I
went
to
meet
my
Friends
:
was
there
any
thing
said
,
it
was
in
order
to
a
Rising
?
L.
C.
J.
Treby
.
I
think
you
mistake
your
own
words
,
as
you
spoke
them
to
be
Witness
,
if
I
did
take
them
,
as
I
think
I
did
right
,
for
they
were
several
times
repeated
.
I
will
do
you
no
wrong
,
Sir
William
,
I
assure
you
.
You
went
into
Leicestershire
,
and
you
say
,
It
was
to
meet
your
Friends
,
the
Witness
says
,
It
was
to
meet
the
King's
Friends
:
by
the
King
,
it
is
very
plain
,
you
meant
not
King
William
,
but
King
James
;
for
you
spoke
before
of
the
King
's
Landing
,
which
was
at
Christmas
last
,
when
every
body
knows
King
William
was
in
Fngland
.
These
coupled
together
—
Parkyns
.
I
beg
your
Pardon
,
my
Lord
;
those
two
things
are
not
both
to
be
joyned
together
,
the
discourse
of
the
King
's
landing
was
at
Christmas
,
as
he
says
,
the
other
thing
,
my
Journey
into
Leicestershire
was
a
Month
afterwards
,
and
therefore
they
cannot
be
coupled
together
.
L.
C.
J.
Treby
.
The
coupling
of
them
,
that
I
meant
,
was
only
to
shew
who
was
understood
to
be
spoken
of
by
you
,
when
you
named
the
King
;
so
the
Qucstion
is
,
Whether
you
did
not
mean
the
same
person
in
January
that
you
meant
in
December
,
by
the
word
King
,
especially
since
as
a
Discovery
you
had
made
,
you
said
further
,
that
the
West
was
as
well
inclined
to
the
King's
Interest
as
the
North
,
and
a
Lord's
Brother
was
concerned
in
it
.
If
by
the
King
,
you
had
meant
,
King
William
;
how
impertinent
and
insensible
had
been
all
this
Discourse
,
that
the
West
was
as
well
inclined
as
the
North
,
and
that
a
Lord's
Brother
was
concerned
in
it
;
concerned
in
what
?
In
being
inclined
to
King
William
,
to
what
purpose
could
that
be
said
?
Parkyns
.
It
may
as
well
be
interpreted
that
way
as
the
other
.
L.
C.
J.
Treby
.
I
must
leave
that
to
the
Jury
.
And
I
confess
,
if
there
were
not
somewhat
more
in
the
case
,
you
might
the
better
argue
upon
this
,
as
to
the
Interpretation
.
But
laying
aside
the
consideration
of
your
riding
into
Leicestershire
,
&c.
here
is
this
providing
of
Arms
,
proved
by
4
or
5
Witnesses
,
and
the
serving
of
them
in
that
manner
;
and
there
is
no
account
given
by
you
,
that
they
were
provided
for
the
service
of
the
Government
,
or
that
you
were
imployed
so
to
do
.
Certainly
it
is
not
lawfull
to
provide
Arms
,
especially
for
a
whole
Troop
,
as
for
ought
I
perceive
here
was
,
tho'
indeed
I
am
not
skilfull
enough
in
those
businesses
,
to
know
how
many
make
up
a
Troop
:
but
it
's
plain
here
was
an
Insurrection
intended
,
when
the
Invasion
was
made
;
and
that
is
an
Evidence
,
that
these
Arms
were
to
be
imployed
upon
that
account
,
for
no
other
use
was
to
be
made
of
them
,
nor
is
pretended
.
If
you
had
found
those
Arms
in
your
House
(
as
you
say
)
it
had
been
your
Duty
to
have
delivered
them
up
,
or
disposed
of
them
to
the
Use
and
Service
of
the
Government
,
which
service
too
,
could
only
be
when
you
had
a
Commission
from
the
Government
,
and
not
of
your
own
head
.
And
then
,
besides
all
this
,
you
acknowledg'd
that
you
had
a
Troop
of
old
Soliders
.
Parkyns
.
It
is
but
slidingly
that
,
for
he
only
tells
you
,
that
a
Troop
would
be
composed
of
old
Soldiers
.
L.
C.
J.
Treby
.
How
can
that
be
?
when
he
says
,
he
repeats
your
own
words
,
My
Troop
consists
of
old
Soldiers
;
can
any
body
say
,
that
his
Troop
consists
of
old
Soldiers
,
without
having
a
Troop
.
Parkyns
.
Pray
Mr.
Sweet
speak
,
my
life
is
at
stake
,
did
I
say
to
you
,
it
did
consist
,
or
it
was
to
consist
,
recollect
your self
,
and
consider
well
before
you
speak
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
What
was
it
that
he
did
say
?
it
did
consist
,
or
it
would
consist
.
Sweet
.
He
said
his
Troop
was
composed
all
of
old
Soldiers
.
Parkyns
.
But
does
it
appear
by
any
Evidence
,
that
I
had
a
Troop
;
if
I
had
,
who
were
they
?
none
of
these
Men
do
appear
.
Does
this
Troop
consist
of
Men
in
the
Air
▪
that
I
should
list
Men
that
are
all
in
Nubibus
,
and
not
one
of
them
to
be
known
.
Suppose
I
should
tell
him
a
Lie
or
make
some
Brags
,
is
this
Treason
,
here
is
no
person
proved
to
be
listed
or
named
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
But
Arms
were
found
in
your
house
for
a
Troop
.
Parkyns
.
But
where
they
were
bought
,
and
when
they
were
bought
and
made
ready
,
it
does
not
appear
;
and
I
affirm
to
your
Lordship
,
if
you
would
give
me
but
one
Days
time
,
I
would
prove
,
that
they
were
at
my
House
at
Warwickshire
,
when
I
first
came
down
thither
,
which
is
too
years
ago
.
And
I
'll
fully
make
it
out
to
your
Satisfaction
,
or
I
'll
be
crucified
or
any
thing
in
the
World
.
I
can
prove
it
by
a
great
many
Witnesses
,
by
my
Friends
,
and
all
the
Servants
that
belonged
to
me
,
they
were
there
long
before
this
Discourse
was
had
or
thought
off
.
Mr.
Justice
Rokeby
.
If
your
Lordship
expects
that
I
should
deliver
my
opinion
,
I
am
ready
to
do
it
.
As
to
this
matter
of
Law
that
Sir
William
Parkyns
has
proposed
,
he
says
,
There
are
not
two
Witnesses
to
the
same
Over-Act
,
and
therefore
no
Evidence
of
Treason
;
truly
,
I
take
it
,
and
always
did
,
that
the
Law
is
,
there
need
not
be
two
Witnesses
to
the
same
Overt-Act
;
but
if
there
be
two
Witnesses
,
one
whereof
speaks
to
one
Overt-Act
,
and
another
to
another
Overt-Act
of
the
same
Species
of
Treason
,
these
are
two
Witnesses
within
the
Law
.
Now
I
think
,
there
are
two
Overt-Acts
in
the
Indictment
of
this
Treason
.
The
Treason
is
compassing
the
Death
of
the
King
;
the
Overt-Acts
are
first
the
particular
Design
of
the
Assassination
upon
his
person
,
and
the
other
is
the
bringing
in
of
a
foreign
Force
,
and
preparing
Horses
and
Arms
to
meet
that
foreign
Force
here
:
all
this
to
the
same
Intent
and
Purpose
,
the
compassing
and
imagining
the
King's
Death
.
Now
besides
that
of
the
Assassination
,
there
are
a
great
many
Witnesses
that
prove
there
were
Arms
prepared
;
for
there
are
found
a
great
Quantity
,
when
they
open'd
the
Boxes
,
which
Boxes
,
it
is
plain
,
he
himself
sent
down
to
Haywood's
House
:
For
tho'
Charnock
writ
a
Letter
,
yet
it
was
by
his
Direction
,
as
he
own'd
to
Haywood
,
when
he
was
here
in
Town
.
And
then
his
Servant
fetch'd
them
away
from
this
place
,
and
this
I
take
to
be
another
Overt-Act
,
and
proved
by
several
Witnesses
.
Sir
William
Parkyns
speaks
of
his
being
a
Gown-man
,
but
I
do
not
know
what
a
Gown-man
has
to
do
with
such
a
quantity
of
Arms.
Parkyns
.
If
you
will
give
me
leave
to
send
for
some
People
,
I
will
demonstrate
it
to
you
as
clear
as
the
Sun
,
that
they
were
in
the
House
two
years
ago
,
when
I
came
first
thither
.
Mr.
Justice
Rokeby
.
There
were
preparations
two
years
ago
,
it
appears
for
the
Destruction
of
the
King
and
Kingdom
,
how
ever
the
Men
that
were
accused
of
it
,
had
the
luck
to
escape
and
be
acquitted
.
Parkyns
.
My
Lord
,
I
hope
I
shall
not
be
interpreted
out
of
my
life
,
I
desire
the
Statute
may
be
read
.
Mr.
J.
Rokeby
.
What
Statute
do
you
mean
.
Parkyns
.
The
25
of
Edw.
3.
and
the
new
Statute
too
,
let
them
both
be
read
to
the
Jury
,
that
they
may
consider
of
it
.
The
Statute
of
the
25th
.
of
Edw.
3.
was
read
.
Parkyns
.
There
is
nothing
of
2
Witnesses
there
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
No
,
but
there
is
another
Satute
of
the
5th
.
Edw.
6.
Cap.
11.
that
may
be
more
for
your
advantage
,
will
you
have
that
read
?
Parkins
.
Yes
,
if
you
please
,
I
know
there
is
another
Statute
that
does
direct
it
,
and
I
expected
to
have
found
it
in
this
Statute
.
Cl.
of
Arr.
This
is
an
Act
made
in
the
5th
.
and
6th
.
years
of
King
Edw.
6th
.
The
Statute
was
read
to
these
words
,
Unless
without
Trial
he
shall
confess
the
same
.
Parkyns
.
There
's
enough
.
L
C.
J.
Holt.
You
have
heard
the
Statute
read
,
would
you
infer
any
thing
from
it
?
Parkyns
.
I
infer
that
there
ought
to
be
two
Witnesses
,
and
here
is
but
one
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
There
are
two
Witnesses
.
Parkyns
.
Not
direct
to
the
same
thing
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
I
shall
leave
it
to
the
Jury
,
whether
this
Evidence
does
not
prove
an
Overt-Act
,
to
demonstrate
a
Design
against
the
King
;
if
the
Design
be
to
depose
him
,
and
that
's
manifested
by
two
Overt-Acts
,
and
undoubtedly
that
is
Treason
within
the
Statute
of
25.
of
Edw.
3.
Park
.
That
I
agree
,
but
yet
there
must
be
two
Witnesses
of
it
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Suppose
dethroning
the
King
be
the
main
design
that
strikes
at
his
Life
,
and
you
resolve
it
shall
be
done
one
way
or
other
.
One
way
by
Assassination
,
the
other
by
Insurrection
;
or
by
Invasion
and
joyning
with
a
Foreign
Army
.
Park
.
My
Lord
,
I
conceive
there
ought
to
be
two
Witnesses
for
each
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
No
,
no
;
for
that
very
last
Act
that
is
to
take
effect
in
a
few
days
,
declares
it
is
sufficient
if
there
be
one
to
one
Overt
Act
,
and
another
to
another
,
but
still
it
must
be
of
the
same
head
or
species
of
Treason
;
and
deposing
the
King
,
and
assassinating
of
him
,
and
preparing
to
raise
an
Army
against
him
,
or
to
excite
an
Invasion
,
are
but
one
sort
of
Treason
.
Park
.
It
may
be
so
,
if
they
were
Overt
Acts
of
one
sort
of
Treason
;
but
rising
in
Arms
,
and
Assassination
are
as
different
things
as
can
be
in
the
world
,
and
therefore
there
ought
to
be
two
Witnesses
to
each
of
them
.
Mr.
J.
Rookby
.
That
which
I
delivered
as
my
opinion
was
,
that
one
Witness
proving
one
Overt
Act
,
and
another
Witness
proving
another
Overt
Act
of
the
same
sort
of
Treason
are
two
good
Witnesses
,
according
as
the
Law
requires
.
And
I
am
the
more
fully
confirmed
in
it
,
by
the
Clause
that
is
in
this
new
Act
of
Parliament
,
made
for
Tryals
in
Cases
of
Treason
,
that
a
man
shall
not
be
convicted
of
Treason
,
but
by
and
upon
the
Oaths
and
Testimony
of
two
lawful
Witnesses
,
either
both
of
them
to
the
same
Overt
Act
,
or
one
of
them
to
one
,
and
the
other
of
them
to
another
Overt
Act
of
the
same
Treason
.
Parkyns
.
Of
the
same
Treason
,
aye
.
Mr.
J.
Rookby
,
And
here
it
is
the
imagining
the
Death
of
the
King
,
that
is
the
Treason
.
Parkyns
.
Then
you
may
say
every
thing
else
is
so
;
but
if
you
please
to
let
the
whole
Statute
be
read
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
You
shall
have
it
read
if
you
will
;
but
this
is
all
that
is
in
it
concerning
this
matter
.
Now
a
design
to
depose
the
King
,
which
manifested
by
some
Overt
Act
,
is
an
Overt
Act
to
prove
the
design
of
the
Death
of
the
King
.
Parkyns
.
Then
it
must
be
manifest
,
and
not
by
Interpretation
;
and
all
these
things
are
by
Interpretation
,
except
it
be
what
Porter
swears
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
If
by
Overt
Act
it
be
proved
,
that
you
designed
his
Deposition
,
that
is
an
Overt
Act
to
prove
your
design
of
his
Death
.
Parkyns
.
They
are
very
different
things
,
Death
and
Depositions
.
We
have
seen
a
King
deposed
,
and
yet
he
is
alive
.
L.
C.
J.
Treby
.
I
am
sure
we
have
seen
a
King
agreed
to
be
assassinated
,
and
yet
,
God
be
thanked
,
he
is
alive
still
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
It
is
not
the
succeeding
in
the
Design
,
but
the
Design
it self
that
is
the
Treason
.
God
forbid
that
it
should
have
Success
to
make
it
Treason
.
L.
C.
J.
Treby
.
But
whenever
people
will
agree
together
to
bring
in
Foreign
Forces
,
or
to
prepare
Men
and
Arms
against
the
King
that
is
in
Possession
,
this
is
reckoned
an
Overt
Act
of
a
Design
against
his
Life
,
and
has
always
been
reckoned
so
by
my
Lord
Chief
Justice
Hales
,
my
Lord
Chief
Justice
Coke
,
and
by
all
those
Men
that
have
been
reputed
,
the
most
tender
in
Cases
of
this
nature
:
For
any
Act
that
expresses
an
intent
of
dethroning
the
King
,
by
means
of
an
Invasion
by
a
Foreign
Force
,
and
an
Insurrection
against
the
King
,
is
a
proper
proof
of
a
Design
of
his
Destruction
;
and
if
not
,
then
agreeing
to
shoot
him
is
not
an
Overt
Act.
Men
may
say
also
,
but
there
need
be
actual
Shooting
to
make
out
the
Overt
Act
in
that
case
.
Parkyns
.
If
your
Lordship
pleases
to
have
the
Act
read
,
I
shall
submit
to
your
Lordships
Judgment
.
L.
C.
J.
Holt.
Let
it
be
read
.
Parkyns
.
If
you
please
to
read
the
Act
,
the
Preamble
of
it
.
Cl.
of
Arr.
This
is
an
Act
made
in
the
7th
Year
of
our
Soveraign
Lord
the
King
.
Is
that
the
Act
?
It
is
an
Act
for
Regulating
of
Tryals
in
Cases
of
Treason
,
and
misprision
of
Treason
.
Is
that
the
Act
?
Parkyns
.
Yes
,
yes
.
The
Act
was
Read
.
Mr.
J.
Rokeby
.
I
believe
if
you
look
into
the
great
Case
in
Parliament
,
the
Case
of
my
Lord
Stafford
,
you
'll
find
it
was
declared
for
Law
,
that
one
Witness
to
one
Overt
Act
,
and
another
Witness
to
another
Overt
Act
of
the
same
Treason
,
they
were
two
Witnesses
within
the
Law
,
and
this
was
a
solemn
resolution
in
Parliament
in
the
House
of
Lords
.
Parkins
.
I
believe
it
has
been
done
;
but
here
is
a
beneficial
Law
made
,
which
if
my
Tryal
had
been
put
off
a
few
days
,
I
should
have
had
the
benefit
of
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
It
would
have
been
the
same
thing
as
to
this
matter
,
for
this
Act
declares
the
very
same
thing
,
as
to
the
two
Witnesses
.
Parkins
.
And
then
my
Lord
,
I
could
have
had
Witnesses
to
have
taken
off
a
great
part
of
this
Evidence
,
and
the
Law
comes
to
take
effect
within
one
day
,
and
it
turns
here
upon
this
matter
of
Sweet
who
is
not
a
good
Evidence
,
for
it
is
manifest
he
has
contradicted
himself
,
and
it
is
manifest
he
has
sworn
what
cannot
be
true
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
Wherein
?
Parkins
.
That
I
should
say
the
King
would
Land
here
,
for
I
had
his
word
for
it
.
Mr.
J.
Rokeby
.
You
might
have
his
word
,
and
not
delivered
by
his
own
mouth
;
there
are
other
ways
to
convey
a
mans
word
besides
speaking
.
Parkins
.
But
then
we
don't
call
it
his
word
,
that
's
hearsay
.
Mr.
J.
Rokeby
.
If
a
man
write
his
Note
that
he
will
do
such
a
thing
,
we
may
very
well
say
we
have
his
word
for
it
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
It
is
not
impossible
but
that
you
might
speak
with
him
.
Parkyns
.
It
is
impossible
I
should
speak
from
hence
to
France
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
You
might
have
been
over
with
him
,
I
believe
a
great
many
others
have
,
and
it
's
proved
Mr.
Charnock
went
over
.
Mr.
J.
Rokeby
.
If
any
man
should
have
said
at
the
latter
end
of
the
last
month
,
I
believe
that
there
was
an
Assassination
intended
against
the
King
,
because
I
have
his
word
for
it
,
meerly
from
reading
his
Speech
to
the
Parliament
,
wherein
he
affirms
that
he
had
several
proofs
of
it
,
that
had
been
a
proper
expression
,
tho
he
did
not
hear
the
King
speak
it
?
Parkins
.
Yes
,
if
he
had
the
Speech
to
produce
.
Mr.
J
,
Rokeby
.
Then
if
it
come
by
Letter
or
Message
,
or
by
Common
fame
,
he
might
send
you
word
by
a
particular
Messenger
.
Parkyns
.
Yes
,
if
there
was
any
such
authority
as
that
it
were
true
.
But
he
has
manifestly
contradicted
himself
,
and
Captain
Porter
swears
for
his
own
life
,
and
I
must
leave
it
to
you
whether
they
are
to
be
believed
.
Mr.
J.
Rokeby
.
Captain
Porter's
testimony
has
been
sufficiently
confirmed
by
the
acknowledgement
of
dying
Persons
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
Well
,
have
you
any
more
to
say
Sir
Wm.
Parkins
?
Parkins
.
No
my
Lord
,
I
submit
it
to
your
Lordships
direction
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
Then
what
say
you
to
it
,
Mr.
Att.
or
Mr.
Sollicitor
.
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
May
it
please
your
Lordship
,
and
you
Gentlemen
of
the
Jury
,
I
am
of
Council
for
the
King
in
this
matter
,
and
it
is
my
turn
to
summ
up
the
Evidence
against
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar.
He
stands
Indicted
for
compassing
the
Death
of
the
King
,
for
designing
to
depose
the
King
,
for
promoting
a
foreign
Invasion
,
for
intending
an
Insurrection
here
at
home
,
and
for
aiding
and
abetting
the
Kings
Enemies
,
and
for
doing
what
he
could
to
procure
the
subjection
of
his
own
Country
to
Foreigners
and
Strangers
.
Gentlemen
,
some
of
these
Crimes
run
into
one
another
;
designing
the
Death
of
the
King
by
Assassination
,
and
designing
to
depose
the
King
amount
to
one
and
the
same
thing
,
with
Compassing
and
Imagining
the
Death
of
the
King
.
My
Lords
,
the
Judges
have
given
you
their
opinion
in
that
point
of
Law
,
and
I
think
it
is
agreeable
to
all
the
resolutions
that
have
been
since
the
making
of
the
Statute
of
25
of
Ed.
3d.
I
think
that
it
has
been
explained
so
in
the
time
of
Richard
the
Second
;
but
this
I
am
sure
of
,
that
it
was
so
resolved
in
the
time
of
Harry
the
Fourth
when
there
was
a
design
to
set
up
Richard
the
Second
again
,
and
it
was
adjudged
to
be
High
Treason
in
Compassing
and
Imagining
the
Death
of
the
King
.
For
deposing
the
King
,
is
destroying
him
in
his
politick
Capacity
,
as
much
as
Assassination
and
Murdering
of
him
is
destroying
him
in
his
natural
Capacity
,
and
the
Conspirators
in
such
Cases
know
what
the
great
end
is
they
aim
at
,
to
subvert
the
Government
as
it
is
established
by
Law
,
whereby
every
man
enjoys
his
own
property
,
and
the
freedom
of
his
person
,
and
those
that
will
be
quiet
may
have
their
liberty
and
property
preserved
intire
to
them
,
but
some
people
are
so
very
impatient
of
submitting
to
the
Law
,
that
they
cannot
be
content
to
be
in
servitude
themselves
,
but
they
must
needs
do
all
they
can
to
bring
it
upon
their
fellow
Subjects
.
And
it
were
very
well
if
that
those
who
are
in
love
with
slavery
would
but
go
to
some
other
places
where
they
may
have
enough
of
it
,
and
not
bring
it
upon
those
who
are
so
little
desirous
of
such
a
thing
,
as
we
are
and
I
hope
shall
always
be
.
Gentlemen
,
to
prove
Sir
Wm.
Parkins
guilty
of
this
Treason
whereof
he
stands
indicted
,
we
have
produced
several
Witnesses
:
and
first
there
is
Mr.
Porter
,
and
he
tells
you
Sir
Wm.
Parkins
told
him
he
had
seen
a
Commission
from
King
James
written
with
his
own
hand
for
making
War
against
the
person
of
King
William
.
Parkins
.
Sir
I
beg
your
pardon
for
intetrupting
you
,
but
there
was
not
one
word
of
that
said
,
here
is
Mr.
Porter
pray
ask
him
,
if
ever
I
saw
a
Commission
from
King
James
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
Porter
did
say
so
,
if
I
remember
any
thing
Porter
said
,
you
told
him
you
had
read
the
Commission
,
and
it
was
written
with
his
own
hand
.
Parkins
.
All
that
I
heard
of
it
was
,
that
when
I
was
desired
to
make
one
in
the
Assassination
,
I
refused
it
because
I
said
I
was
busy
about
the
matter
of
my
Regiment
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
call
Porter
again
.
(
Capt.
Porter
came
in
)
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
Pray
Captain
Porter
,
will
you
give
the
Court
and
the
Jury
an
account
what
you
heard
Sir
Wm.
Parkins
say
,
about
the
Commission
that
came
from
King
James
.
Cap.
Porter
.
I
askt
Mr.
Charnock
why
I
might
not
see
the
Commission
,
and
he
told
me
he
had
never
seen
it
himself
,
but
Sir
Wm.
Parkins
had
.
I
did
ask
Sir
Wm.
Parkins
whether
he
had
seen
it
,
and
he
told
me
he
did
see
it
and
read
it
,
and
it
was
to
raise
War
against
the
Person
of
the
Prince
of
Orange
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Whose
hand
was
in
it
did
he
say
?
Capt.
Porter
.
It
was
all
written
with
King
James's
own
hand
.
Parkins
.
This
was
my
mistake
,
I
thought
he
had
said
I
told
him
I
had
a
Commission
for
a
Regiment
.
Mr.
Mountague
.
Did
he
give
any
reason
why
it
was
written
with
King
James's
own
hand
.
Cap.
Porter
.
We
used
to
say
amongst
our selves
it
was
,
because
he
would
not
trust
any
of
his
Ministers
with
it
.
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
I
would
not
do
Sir
Wm.
Parkins
any
wrong
,
but
only
summ
up
what
is
material
in
the
Evidence
given
against
him
.
I
remember
very
well
Mr.
Porter
said
,
Mr.
Charnock
told
him
Sir
Wm.
Parkins
had
seen
the
Commission
,
but
I
would
not
offer
that
as
Evidence
against
the
Prisoner
what
another
told
him
,
but
he
says
besides
that
Sir
Wm.
Parkins
told
him
himself
,
that
he
had
seen
it
,
and
that
it
was
written
with
King
James's
own
hand
.
He
says
that
they
had
several
Meetings
together
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
and
a
great
many
others
;
and
he
names
the
places
,
the
Naggs
Head
in
Covent
Garden
,
the
Sun
Tavern
in
the
Strand
,
and
the
Globe
Tavern
in
Hatton
Garden
;
he
tells
you
particularly
,
that
it
was
agreed
that
King
(
who
was
executed
)
and
Knightly
,
and
himself
should
go
and
view
a
place
that
should
be
proper
for
the
Assassination
,
and
to
give
a
Report
to
the
Prisoner
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Conspirators
,
what
they
thought
the
most
proper
place
;
and
that
accordingly
they
did
view
the
place
,
and
came
home
at
night
,
and
met
the
Company
,
whereof
Sir
Wm.
Parkyns
was
one
;
and
they
gave
an
account
how
the
place
was
viewed
,
and
which
was
thought
most
proper
,
and
then
all
the
Company
agreed
to
it
.
He
says
indeed
,
that
Sir
Wm.
Parkyns
was
not
one
that
was
to
execute
it
in
his
own
person
,
but
one
Scudamore
was
to
be
the
man
imployed
by
him
,
and
he
did
say
it
was
a
thing
that
was
very
necessary
to
be
done
,
and
would
facilitate
the
Introduction
of
King
James
,
and
the
bringing
him
back
again
:
And
there
is
likewise
this
concurring
Evidence
of
Mr.
Porters
wi●●hat
I
shall
observe
by
and
by
,
that
Sir
William
Parkyns
was
to
procure
five
Ho●●●hree
whereof
he
was
to
mount
himself
,
and
two
he
was
to
send
Captain
Porter
to
mount
,
and
if
there
were
further
occasion
he
could
procure
more
from
Mr.
Lewis
,
Gent.
of
the
Horse
to
my
Lord
Feversham
,
and
accordingly
we
have
produced
to
you
2
Witnesses
,
Freeman
and
Turton
,
the
one
a
Tapster
,
the
other
an
Hostler
that
lived
at
the
George
Inn
in
Holbourn
,
who
give
you
an
account
that
upon
Friday
before
the
first
day
that
was
designed
for
the
Assassination
,
there
did
come
3
Horses
to
Town
,
for
Sir
Wm.
Parkins
,
but
it
being
put
off
upon
the
disappointment
,
they
were
sent
out
of
Town
again
.
Upon
the
Friday
afterwards
,
the
day
before
the
discovery
,
then
there
were
4
Horses
brought
to
Town
,
and
a
5th
was
borrowed
of
Mr.
Lewis
which
was
a
Roan
Gelding
.
Parkyns
.
Pray
,
Sir
,
will
you
please
to
observe
what
sort
of
Horses
they
were
;
and
particularly
the
heighth
of
them
,
that
it
may
be
known
how
fit
they
were
for
this
business
.
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
I
will
do
you
no
wrong
,
Sir
William
,
if
I
can
help
it
.
The
Jury
have
heard
the
Evidence
;
and
by
and
by
they
will
hear
my
Lords
Directions
:
but
they
do
say
there
were
4
brought
to
Town
,
and
a
fifth
was
sent
,
a
Roan
Gelding
;
first
the
Witness
said
the
Horse
came
from
Mountague
House
,
but
then
presently
he
recollected
himself
,
and
acknowledged
the
mistake
;
and
afterwards
said
it
was
from
Somerset
House
.
So
there
were
the
5
Horses
,
3
whereof
Sir
William
Parkyns
was
to
mount
,
and
2
Captain
Porter
,
as
he
himself
says
;
and
these
Facts
I
instance
in
as
making
a
concurring
Evidence
,
and
very
near
to
two
Witnesses
to
prove
this
part
of
the
Conspiracy
.
Then
,
Gentlemen
,
Captain
Porter
goes
further
,
and
says
,
that
he
had
heard
(
but
Sir
William
Parkyns
did
not
tell
him
so
himself
)
that
Sir
William
Parkyns
had
a
Commission
to
raise
a
Regiment
of
Horse
,
and
was
preparing
so
to
do
,
against
the
time
of
the
Invasion
,
to
joyn
with
the
Forces
that
were
to
come
from
abroad
.
To
confirm
which
we
have
called
Mr.
Sweet
to
give
you
an
account
,
that
he
had
been
acquainted
with
Sir
Wm.
Parkyns
for
3
years
,
and
that
he
had
often
talkt
with
him
about
the
King
,
that
is
his
present
Majesty
,
whom
he
called
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
and
the
little
Gentleman
;
and
about
King
James
,
whom
he
used
to
call
always
the
King
;
and
he
said
the
King
was
to
land
very
speedily
,
and
that
he
had
a
Troop
which
consisted
of
old
Soldiers
,
and
that
there
were
several
Volunteers
that
were
Officers
;
he
said
he
was
to
take
a
Journey
into
Leicestershire
,
and
accordingly
he
went
;
and
when
he
returned
back
again
he
said
,
the
West
and
the
North
were
very
well
inclined
to
the
King's
Interest
,
or
to
that
purpose
.
And
to
strengthen
his
Evidence
we
prove
,
that
he
did
go
accordingly
into
Leicestershire
,
and
we
prove
it
by
his
Servant
that
went
with
him
,
where
he
met
with
several
persons
,
particularly
one
Yarborough
and
a
Parson
;
what
they
did
transact
the
Servant
cannot
prove
,
but
he
is
a
concurring
Witness
to
prove
,
that
he
went
into
Leicestershire
;
and
we
have
all
the
reason
in
the
world
to
believe
that
he
went
on
that
Errand
that
he
spoke
of
before
,
that
is
to
meet
the
Kings
Friends
,
as
he
called
King
James
.
And
then
there
is
a
further
concurring
Evidence
of
his
having
a
Regiment
,
or
a
Troop
,
it
is
not
material
whether
it
be
one
or
the
other
;
and
that
is
the
matter
of
the
Arms
,
4
dozen
of
Swords
,
32
Carbines
,
35
Cases
of
Pistols
,
that
were
hid
in
the
Garden
of
his
House
;
and
these
Arms
we
have
traced
further
,
he
sent
them
from
his
House
to
Haywoods
House
,
there
he
thought
they
would
not
lye
safe
,
and
therefore
Sir
William
Parkyns
sends
for
them
privately
;
they
were
to
come
away
at
night
,
and
be
brought
back
to
his
House
,
and
they
were
accordingly
brought
back
in
the
night
to
his
House
,
and
there
they
were
buried
;
and
the
same
person
saw
them
taken
up
afterwards
,
which
brought
them
to
Sir
William
Parkyns
House
,
and
proves
they
were
the
same
Boxes
that
were
buried
,
and
which
upon
opening
proved
to
be
these
Arms
that
were
first
sent
to
Haywoods
,
and
afterwards
brought
back
to
his
own
House
.
So
that
this
,
Gentlemen
,
is
a
concurring
Evidence
both
to
what
Sweet
says
,
and
to
what
Porter
says
,
and
those
are
the
two
Witnesses
to
this
part
of
the
Treason
,
that
there
was
a
provision
of
Arms
and
Men
for
this
purpose
,
which
he
said
he
had
a
Commission
for
.
Now
,
Gentlemen
,
against
all
this
he
makes
but
a
very
small
Objection
.
As
to
the
matter
of
the
two
Witnesses
to
every
Overt
Act
,
that
has
been
over-ruled
by
the
Court
;
and
as
to
the
Arms
,
he
says
he
found
them
at
his
House
when
he
first
came
to
it
;
and
then
they
were
old
rusty
Arms
,
but
of
this
he
gives
you
no
manner
of
Evidence
.
But
if
they
were
there
when
he
came
to
the
House
,
How
came
he
at
this
time
of
Day
to
hide
them
,
and
secret
them
?
Why
might
they
not
be
as
publick
now
as
they
were
before
he
came
,
which
he
has
had
time
enough
to
prepare
to
prove
since
the
finding
of
them
?
And
he
does
not
give
you
so
much
as
any
colourable
Reason
why
he
so
secreted
them
.
And
therefore
it
is
a
most
just
and
violent
Suspicion
that
they
were
for
the
purposes
that
the
Witnesses
have
given
you
an
account
of
;
and
you
have
reason
to
believe
they
were
provided
for
to
arm
that
Number
of
Men
,
which
he
was
to
raise
to
assist
the
French
when
they
came
to
land
here
.
So
that
if
you
believe
what
the
Witnesses
have
Sworn
,
you
cannot
say
,
but
that
he
is
Guilty
of
the
Treason
charged
upon
him
;
and
we
doubt
not
you
'll
find
him
so
.
Mr.
Cooper
.
May
it
please
your
Lordship
,
and
you
Gentlemen
of
the
Jury
;
I
am
of
the
same
side
of
Counsel
for
the
King
.
Sir
William
Parkyns
has
given
us
a
good
Caution
,
which
I
shall
take
care
to
observe
;
and
that
is
,
not
to
strain
either
Fact
,
or
Law
,
to
his
prejudice
.
But
,
my
Lord
,
When
such
a
Matter
as
this
,
a
Crime
of
this
nature
,
is
so
far
proved
against
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
that
no
body
can
in
his
private
Judgment
reasonably
acquit
him
;
then
I
think
it
a
good
piece
of
Service
to
the
Publick
to
make
the
Matter
so
plain
,
that
it
may
be
put
beyond
all
manner
of
Doubt
,
both
for
the
ease
of
the
Jurors
,
and
for
the
satisfaction
of
all
others
that
hear
this
Tryal
.
My
Lord
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
has
truly
divided
his
Indictment
into
two
Parts
,
the
one
that
accuses
him
of
being
concerned
in
the
Assassination
,
and
the
other
that
accuses
him
of
being
concerned
in
Inviting
the
French
into
the
Kingdom
,
and
Ingaging
to
meet
them
with
an
armed
Force
.
My
Lord
,
As
to
the
first
part
,
I
must
do
Sir
William
Parkyns
that
Right
,
that
there
is
but
one
positive
Evidence
as
to
the
Assassination
;
but
that
Evidence
tells
ye
he
agreed
to
it
at
several
Meetings
;
nay
,
that
he
was
one
who
said
it
was
necessary
to
be
done
,
in
order
to
the
other
Design
he
was
Ingaged
in
,
the
facilitating
the
Landing
of
the
French
,
and
King
James
his
Descent
and
Restauration
.
There
is
,
I
say
indeed
,
but
one
Witness
of
that
Matter
,
but
the
Evidence
of
that
one
Witness
is
confirmed
by
many
concurring
Circumstances
;
by
his
sending
for
Horses
to
Town
the
Day
before
the
first
Saturday
,
when
this
Exercrable
Treason
was
to
have
been
Executed
;
by
sending
them
out
of
Town
again
that
Day
upon
the
Disappointment
;
by
sending
for
them
again
the
Friday
before
the
second
Saturday
that
the
King
was
to
have
been
Assassinated
;
by
his
having
more
Horses
than
were
usual
with
him
that
Day
;
by
his
taking
care
then
of
three
Horses
that
were
none
of
his
own
,
and
one
of
them
brought
very
suspiciously
from
Somerset-House
;
and
that
all
these
eight
Horses
should
be
immediately
hurried
and
carried
away
upon
the
Disappointment
the
second
Saturday
,
and
nothing
ever
heard
of
them
afterwards
.
I
say
one
of
them
was
brought
very
suspiciously
;
for
,
my
Lord
,
you
observe
it
came
from
Somerset-House
,
and
sent
by
Lewis
according
to
the
Prisoner's
Promise
to
Captain
Porter
,
which
Lewis
,
it
is
apparent
by
all
the
Witnesses
of
this
Matter
,
was
privy
to
this
Design
.
My
Lord
,
There
is
another
Circumstance
besides
this
,
which
,
I
think
,
has
not
been
observed
,
and
that
is
,
his
sending
for
Sweet
up
to
Town
before
the
second
time
that
the
King
was
to
have
been
Assassinated
;
he
came
up
indeed
before
both
the
times
:
The
first
time
he
was
told
by
the
Prisoner
,
he
had
once
designed
to
have
used
him
in
a
Business
;
but
upon
second
Thoughts
he
had
Compassion
for
his
Family
.
And
when
he
came
the
second
time
,
he
was
first
ask'd
what
Condition
he
had
left
his
Family
in
,
whether
he
had
provided
them
Money
.
He
said
,
No
;
and
thereupon
new
as
Chid
:
And
the
Prisoner
said
,
he
might
then
as
well
have
staid
at
home
.
All
these
Circumstances
,
besides
the
one
positive
Evidence
,
savour
strongly
of
his
having
a
great
Hand
in
the
Design
of
Assassinating
the
King
.
But
then
,
my
Lord
,
As
to
the
other
Part
;
his
Inviting
the
French
,
and
preparing
to
meet
them
,
that
is
possitively
proved
by
two
Witnesses
.
Captain
Porter
tells
you
,
That
the
Prisoner
was
at
the
two
Meetings
in
Leaden-hall-street
,
and
St.
James's
-
street
,
where
it
was
expresly
resolved
by
all
that
were
present
,
and
the
Prisoner
among
the
rest
,
to
send
Chernock
over
to
invite
the
French
to
invade
this
Kingdom
,
and
to
promise
to
meet
King
James
at
his
Landing
with
Two
Thousand
Horse
.
He
Swears
,
That
Sir
William
Parkyns
did
particularly
agree
to
what
was
so
Resolved
upon
at
both
the
Consults
.
And
Sweet
tells
you
that
he
had
prepared
for
the
same
Design
;
for
that
Sir
William
Parkyns
told
him
,
the
King
would
Land
,
he
had
his
Word
for
it
;
and
he
himself
had
a
Troop
of
Old
Soldiers
.
My
Troop
does
consist
(
he
spoke
it
in
the
present
Tense
;
for
it
being
a
Doubt
Sir
William
Parkyns
did
himself
that
Right
as
to
examine
the
Witness
again
,
and
he
repeated
it
as
his
Words
,
My
Troop
consists
)
of
Old
Soldiers
,
or
is
composed
of
Old
Soldiers
.
And
he
was
to
have
several
Volunteers
that
had
been
Officers
.
My
Lord
,
These
Two
positive
Witnesses
are
Evidence
that
goes
to
the
same
Species
of
Treason
,
nay
to
the
same
Design
,
the
raising
a
Rebellion
,
and
the
Deposing
the
King
,
which
is
Killing
him
in
his
politick
Capacity
;
I
say
,
these
Two
go
home
to
the
same
Design
.
And
,
my
Lord
,
This
Evidence
upon
this
branch
of
the
Indictment
,
is
corroborated
too
by
very
strong
Circumstances
.
There
is
a
Journey
to
Leicester
,
which
Sweet
speaks
of
,
that
Sir
William
Parkyns
told
him
he
would
undertake
:
This
Journey
it
is
proved
by
his
Servant
that
he
did
undertake
;
that
he
met
there
with
several
Persons
,
and
came
back
and
made
his
Report
to
Sweet
of
the
Success
of
his
Journey
,
and
how
well
Disposed
the
King's
Friends
were
,
by
which
Name
he
always
meant
King
James
;
for
when
he
spoke
of
our
present
King
he
called
him
the
Little
Gentleman
,
or
sometimes
King
William
,
and
sometimes
,
as
the
Witness
at
last
said
positively
,
the
Prince
of
Orange
:
But
when
he
spoke
of
the
King
,
without
any
thing
else
,
he
always
meant
King
James
;
and
besides
,
he
spoke
of
a
King
that
was
beyond
Sea
at
Christmas
last
,
which
could
not
be
King
William
,
who
was
then
,
and
had
been
in
England
so
long
before
.
My
Lord
,
the
Prisoner
in
his
Defence
says
,
That
this
Servant
of
his
that
went
with
him
into
Leicestershire
,
had
been
formerly
Chernock's
Servant
,
and
was
sent
by
Chernock
with
the
Message
to
Kensington
,
and
not
by
him
.
Yet
I
must
observe
,
that
the
Evidence
swore
positively
he
was
sent
by
Sir
William
Parkyns
his
Master
,
and
brought
the
Note
in
the
Almanack
back
to
the
Person
to
whom
he
was
directed
to
carry
it
,
who
lodged
at
the
Confectioners
House
;
and
when
he
had
so
done
,
that
the
Person
that
Lodged
at
the
Confectioners
did
not
remit
him
to
Chernock
,
but
to
his
Master
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
with
a
Message
that
he
would
be
at
Home
,
and
stay
there
ready
whenever
he
should
have
occasion
for
him
;
and
this
was
upon
the
very
Saturday
the
King
was
to
have
been
Assassinated
.
My
Lord
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
has
complained
,
that
if
he
could
have
had
his
Evidence
here
,
he
could
have
proved
the
Arms
had
been
two
years
in
his
House
,
and
that
he
found
them
there
when
he
came
thither
first
.
If
we
should
admit
that
Matter
;
we
might
Confess
,
and
avoid
it
;
for
it
is
apparent
,
that
these
Arms
were
on
this
Occasion
put
up
in
a
suspicious
manner
in
Boxes
,
and
sent
to
Haywood's
,
(
who
is
a
Suspicious
Person
by
reason
of
his
Relation
to
Chernock
,
upon
whose
Letter
and
Recommendation
they
were
received
)
and
concealed
till
the
Plot
was
disappointed
;
and
then
they
were
carried
away
from
that
place
,
and
buried
in
Sir
William
Parkyns's
own
Garden
.
This
was
just
after
the
breaking
out
of
the
Plot
;
and
they
were
buried
for
the
better
securing
them
as
choice
Goods
.
And
whereas
the
Prisoner
says
they
were
old
and
rusty
when
he
found
them
,
it
now
appears
they
were
clean
and
new-furbish'd
Arms
,
and
the
Hilts
were
off
the
Swords
,
and
pack'd
together
.
My
Lord
,
he
has
Recourse
to
another
Argument
in
the
last
Place
,
the
most
moving
,
I
must
confess
,
of
all
;
and
that
is
the
Argument
of
Pity
:
He
has
spoke
of
his
Education
in
the
Profession
of
the
Gown
,
of
his
Infirmities
,
his
Age
,
and
his
Family
.
Arguments
of
Pity
I
am
very
unfit
to
give
an
Answer
to
,
and
should
be
very
unwilling
to
extinguish
any
Motions
of
it
;
but
this
I
must
observe
even
by
way
of
Answer
to
that
Argument
,
That
the
Time
was
when
he
should
have
pittied
himself
,
and
not
engaged
in
such
an
Abominable
and
Merciless
a
Design
;
That
he
should
have
had
Pity
upon
his
Countrey
,
which
he
Plotted
to
bring
under
the
greatest
Confusion
and
Desolation
;
That
he
should
have
had
Pity
upon
the
best
of
Kings
,
and
the
best
of
Men
;
but
then
there
was
no
Pity
,
when
they
thought
they
had
laid
their
Designs
so
that
they
had
him
in
their
Power
,
but
they
resolved
Barbarously
to
murder
him
,
and
persisted
in
the
Resolution
of
Assassinating
him
after
they
were
once
Disappointed
:
That
it
seems
did
not
discourage
them
,
but
they
undertook
it
a
Second
Time
,
and
it
does
not
appear
that
they
ever
had
any
Remorse
at
last
for
it
;
but
the
Plot
broke
out
,
and
so
their
whole
Design
was
frustrated
.
My
Lord
,
This
is
the
Sum
,
I
think
,
of
his
Defence
;
I
have
as
well
as
I
was
able
given
an
Answer
to
the
Objections
made
to
it
,
and
I
must
now
leave
it
with
you
Gentlemen
of
the
Jury
:
And
though
these
Considerations
that
I
have
mentioned
may
not
quite
remove
all
Compassion
,
yet
they
may
serve
to
confirm
you
in
a
Resolution
of
doing
the
King
,
and
Kingdom
,
and
your Selves
Justice
;
and
that
is
all
we
ask
of
you
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
Gentlemen
of
the
Jury
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
is
Indicted
of
High
Treason
,
for
Designing
,
Imagining
and
Compassing
the
Death
of
the
present
King
.
There
have
been
several
Witnesses
produced
that
have
given
Evidence
upon
this
Indictment
;
The
first
of
them
is
Mr.
Porten
,
who
has
been
a
Witness
heretofore
against
several
upon
the
like
Occasion
;
and
he
gives
you
this
Account
,
That
about
〈…〉
of
May
,
o●
the
beginning
of
June
last
,
there
was
a
meeting
of
diver
.
Persons
at
the
〈…〉
ngs-Head
Tavern
in
Leaden-Hall-street
in
the
City
,
where
they
dined
together
,
and
there
was
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
Captain
Porter
himself
,
Sir
John
Fenwick
,
Sir
John
Friend
,
and
divers
others
that
he
has
mentioned
to
you
.
At
that
meeting
they
did
consult
together
,
which
way
the
late
King
James
might
be
Restored
,
and
it
was
thought
very
necessary
that
there
should
be
a
French
Force
sent
over
hither
to
join
with
others
for
his
Restoration
.
And
they
did
among
themselves
agree
,
and
determine
what
number
of
Forces
might
be
convenient
for
that
Purpose
,
they
did
propose
Ten
Thousand
,
Eight
Thousand
Foot
,
One
Thousand
Horse
,
and
One
Thousand
Dragoons
:
And
that
a
Message
should
be
sent
over
to
King
James
,
to
perswade
him
to
sollicit
the
French
King
,
to
furnish
him
with
such
a
Number
of
Men
to
be
sent
over
into
England
.
Mr.
Chernock
,
that
was
then
in
the
Company
,
and
was
the
Person
agreed
upon
among
them
to
be
the
Messenger
to
be
sent
upon
this
Errand
,
which
Imployment
he
did
undertake
,
upon
their
Promise
,
that
they
would
raise
among
themselves
Two
Thousand
Horse
for
to
meet
the
late
King
at
his
Landing
.
This
being
at
that
time
determined
,
and
Mr.
Chernock
having
accepted
this
Imployment
,
he
did
make
preparation
to
go
upon
this
Errand
.
In
some
time
after
,
(
a
Week
,
or
a
Fortnight
,
or
thereabouts
)
there
was
another
Meeting
at
which
were
several
of
the
same
Persons
,
that
were
present
at
the
former
,
and
among
them
Sir
William
Parkyns
was
one
:
And
this
Meeting
was
at
one
Mrs.
Mountjoy's
,
that
keeps
a
Tavern
in
St.
James's
street
,
where
they
did
discourse
of
what
they
had
formerly
agreed
upon
;
and
did
again
consider
whether
they
should
proceed
to
send
Mr.
Chernock
with
that
Message
;
to
which
they
all
agreed
that
Mr.
Chernock
should
go
,
and
he
accordingly
went
;
and
Captain
Porter
met
him
about
five
or
six
Weeks
after
the
Meeting
at
Mrs.
Mountjoy's
,
and
Chernock
told
him
he
had
been
in
France
,
and
that
since
his
return
he
had
been
with
the
several
persons
who
had
sent
him
,
and
had
acquainted
them
with
the
Answer
of
King
James
,
which
was
,
that
at
that
Juncture
of
time
the
French
King
had
such
occasion
for
his
Forces
,
that
he
could
not
then
spare
them
,
or
furnish
him
with
so
many
to
come
over
here
.
This
is
the
first
matter
that
Porter
gives
you
an
account
of
.
But
then
Captain
Porter
tells
you
further
,
how
the
Design
of
Assassinating
the
King
was
set
on
foot
about
the
latter
end
of
January
,
or
the
beginning
of
February
last
.
About
which
time
Sir
George
Barckley
was
sent
over
with
a
Commission
from
the
late
King
James
;
which
seems
to
have
given
great
incouragement
to
that
Party
of
Men
;
for
Sir
George
Barckley
,
Captain
Porter
,
and
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
with
divers
others
,
had
several
Meetings
at
the
Globe
Tavern
in
Hutton
Garden
,
the
Nags
Head
Tavern
in
Covent
Garden
,
the
Sun
Tavern
in
the
Strand
,
and
other
places
.
And
at
these
Meetings
they
entred
into
Consideration
,
what
was
the
best
way
to
Restore
the
late
King
James
to
the
Throne
;
and
it
was
agreed
among
them
.
King
William
,
which
they
resolved
to
undertake
;
and
at
these
Debates
and
Resolutions
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
was
present
.
Captain
Porter
being
askt
whether
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
at
these
Consults
,
did
consent
to
the
King's
Murder
,
he
said
they
did
all
agree
to
the
Assassination
of
the
King
,
and
Sir
William
Parkyns
said
he
thought
it
was
very
necessary
to
be
done
,
to
facilitate
the
Restoration
of
the
late
King
.
Gentlemen
,
This
Design
of
the
Assassinating
the
King
being
thus
Resolved
upon
;
the
next
thing
Considered
among
them
was
,
how
it
might
be
effected
;
there
were
several
ways
proposed
:
one
was
by
an
Ambuscade
;
for
the
King
having
a
House
in
the
Country
by
Richmond
,
His
Majesty
used
to
go
once
a
Week
a
Hunting
thereabout
,
and
to
return
at
night
;
and
therefore
an
Ambuscade
on
that
side
of
the
Water
near
the
House
was
proposed
:
then
another
Proposal
was
made
to
fall
upon
the
Guards
on
this
side
the
Water
,
and
at
the
same
time
that
the
King's
Coach
was
to
be
set
upon
.
And
these
two
places
being
proposed
,
there
was
some
difference
of
Opinion
among
them
,
whereupon
it
was
agreed
that
some
Persons
should
be
sent
to
view
the
Ground
on
both
sides
the
Water
,
which
Persons
were
Captain
Porter
▪
King
that
was
Executed
,
and
one
Knightley
;
and
so
some
days
before
the
15th
.
of
February
they
did
go
on
both
sides
the
Water
,
and
viewed
the
Ground
,
and
returned
in
the
Evening
to
the
Nags
Head
Tavern
according
to
agreement
,
where
were
met
together
Sir
George
Barckley
,
Mr.
Chernock
,
and
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
.
And
there
they
made
their
Report
done
of
their
view
of
the
Ground
,
and
upon
which
both
the
Proposals
were
Debated
,
and
at
last
they
did
all
agree
that
the
Attack
should
be
made
upon
the
King
on
this
side
of
the
Water
,
in
a
Lane
that
was
between
Brentford
and
Turnham
Green
;
and
the
Attack
upon
the
Guards
was
likewise
to
be
made
thereabouts
.
Sir
William
Parkyns
was
to
furnish
five
Horses
,
whereof
three
of
them
were
to
be
mounted
by
Men
of
his
own
providing
,
the
other
two
were
to
be
mounted
by
Men
of
Captain
Porter's
providing
,
Mr.
Porter
,
Mr.
Chernock
,
and
one
Rookwood
,
were
to
be
principally
ingaged
in
Attacking
the
Guards
.
The
number
of
Men
agreed
upon
for
the
whole
,
were
about
forty
or
few
more
,
and
Sir
George
Barckley
was
to
have
a
Party
out
of
them
all
,
of
about
eight
,
and
as
those
others
went
to
fall
upon
,
and
Charge
the
Guards
,
Sir
George
Barckley
with
his
Party
of
Men
,
was
to
Attack
the
King
in
his
Coach
,
and
by
shooting
into
the
Coach
to
kill
the
King
and
all
that
were
with
him
.
The
Time
agreed
upon
for
putting
this
design
in
Execution
was
on
Saturday
the
15th
.
of
February
.
That
day
it
was
expected
the
King
wou'd
go
a
Hunting
.
And
Two
Men
were
planted
at
Kensington
to
give
notice
,
when
the
King
went
,
and
upon
such
notice
,
these
Men
were
to
March
out
in
small
Parties
,
and
to
Lodge
in
the
Inns
,
and
Publick
Houses
about
Brentford
,
and
Turnham
Green
,
upon
notice
of
the
King
's
Return
from
the
other
side
of
the
Water
,
and
Sir
George
Barclay
was
to
be
in
readiness
to
set
upon
the
Coach
in
the
Lane
;
and
the
other
Party
to
Attack
the
Guards
.
But
this
Horrid
Design
was
very
happily
Discovered
,
which
prevented
the
King's
going
abroad
on
that
day
;
and
though
they
were
disappointed
for
that
Time
,
yet
the
Design
was
not
at
an
end
:
But
their
Resolutions
continue
to
make
the
like
Attempt
when
they
could
have
an
other
opportunity
.
And
for
that
purpose
there
was
another
Meeting
,
as
Captain
Porter
tells
you
,
upon
the
Friday
following
at
the
Sun
Tavern
in
the
Strand
,
at
which
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
Sir
George
Barclay
,
Rookwood
,
and
Chernock
,
and
Captain
Porter
,
were
present
,
and
they
did
agree
to
Attack
the
King
and
the
Guards
,
the
next
day
in
the
same
place
,
and
manner
that
they
had
formerly
agreed
upon
.
But
by
good
Providence
the
King
had
notice
of
it
,
so
that
he
did
forbear
to
go
abroad
that
day
,
whereby
these
Conspirators
were
totally
disappointed
of
their
Barbarous
and
Villanous
Design
which
they
had
resolved
upon
,
and
had
made
such
Preparations
to
compass
.
It
is
true
,
Captain
Porter
does
tell
you
,
Sir
William
Parkyns
was
not
to
be
one
that
should
be
actually
present
at
the
Assassination
;
but
he
was
to
furnish
Five
Horses
,
Three
of
them
to
be
mounted
by
Men
of
his
own
providing
,
and
Two
by
Men
that
Captain
Porter
was
to
provide
.
And
you
are
told
positively
that
Captain
Porter
,
at
this
last
Meeting
did
complain
that
Two
of
his
Horses
were
fallen
Lame
,
and
acquainted
Sir
William
Parkyns
with
it
,
and
he
promised
to
help
him
to
Two
more
by
the
means
of
one
Lewis
that
was
Gentleman
of
the
Horse
to
my
Lord
Feversham
.
Then
you
are
told
,
that
Sir
William
Parkyns
sent
to
Sweet
to
come
to
Town
the
11th
.
of
February
,
and
Sweet
comes
to
Town
accordingly
on
Wednesday
the
12th
.
of
February
,
and
then
he
had
discourse
with
Sir
William
Parkyns
at
his
Lodgings
,
where
Sir
William
told
him
,
that
because
of
his
Family
,
he
would
not
imploy
him
in
the
business
he
intended
for
him
,
and
therefore
bid
him
go
home
again
;
and
with
all
,
directed
him
to
return
to
Town
the
Fryday
following
:
and
order
his
Groom
to
bring
his
Horses
to
Town
;
he
mentioned
Three
Horses
which
should
be
the
strongest
he
had
,
the
Groom
brought
up
the
Three
Horses
,
and
Sweet
came
to
Town
with
him
,
and
staid
till
Saturday
.
Sir
William
Parkyns
said
he
thought
to
go
out
of
Town
in
the
Afternoon
,
but
did
not
,
but
stay'd
till
Monday
,
when
he
went
out
of
Town
.
But
upon
the
Friday
following
,
the
Horses
of
Sir
William
Parkyns
were
brought
to
Town
again
,
which
now
were
Four
,
and
were
set
up
at
the
George
Inn
in
Holborn
;
and
it
appears
that
Mr.
Lewis
furnished
one
Horse
,
for
there
were
Five
Horses
there
upon
the
Account
of
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
of
which
a
Roan
Horse
was
one
which
came
from
Somerset-House
.
This
is
proved
by
the
Hostler
;
and
that
Lewis
himself
came
in
on
Saturday
in
the
Afternoon
to
inquire
for
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
but
he
was
gone
and
the
Horses
were
taken
away
,
and
he
once
came
with
Sir
William
Parkyns
to
the
Inn.
These
are
Circumstances
.
that
do
Concur
with
,
and
Confirm
Captain
Porter's
Evidence
concerning
the
providing
Horses
for
this
Design
.
Then
there
is
another
Particular
of
Captain
Porter's
Evidence
concerning
the
Commission
from
King
James
,
which
is
remarkable
:
It
was
told
you
,
that
he
askt
Chernock
whether
he
had
seen
the
Commission
:
he
said
no
,
but
Sir
William
Parkyns
had
:
and
Sir
William
Parkyns
was
askt
by
Porter
,
as
they
were
sitting
by
the
fire-side
whether
he
had
seen
the
Commission
,
and
Sir
William
Parkyns
answered
,
that
he
had
seen
it
,
and
had
read
it
,
and
it
was
written
with
King
James's
own
hand
;
and
that
the
Substance
of
it
was
to
make
War
upon
the
Person
of
the
Present
King
,
who
was
called
in
the
Commission
as
you
may
suppose
the
Prince
of
Orange
.
So
that
,
Gentlemen
,
as
to
the
discovery
of
the
Assassinating
the
King
,
and
of
this
Commission
which
was
understood
by
them
to
be
for
that
purpose
.
This
is
the
Summ
and
Substance
of
Porter's
Evidence
so
attended
with
,
and
confirmed
by
these
Circumstances
,
as
you
have
heard
.
Besides
the
other
Witness
,
Sweet
,
who
was
a
great
Acquaintance
of
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
tells
you
,
That
about
Christmas
last
,
he
was
informed
by
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
That
the
King
would
land
,
which
he
understood
to
be
meant
of
King
James
.
He
ask'd
Sir
William
Parkyns
how
he
knew
it
?
and
he
said
,
He
had
his
Word
for
it
;
and
that
his
Troop
consisted
of
Old
Soldiers
,
and
he
had
Thirty
Saddles
;
and
besides
,
there
would
be
some
Volunteers
,
which
were
Old
Officers
.
Then
he
said
,
He
was
to
go
into
Leicestershire
,
and
he
did
go
with
one
Scudamore
;
and
this
was
in
January
,
about
the
latter
end
,
as
I
remember
.
They
lay
that
Night
at
Stony-Stratford
,
and
the
next
Night
at
Leicester
,
and
Scudamore
went
with
him
;
and
afterwards
one
Yarborough
,
and
a
Parson
,
came
to
him
out
of
Yorkshire
:
And
when
he
came
back
he
said
,
He
found
all
there
to
be
very
well
;
and
the
West
was
as
well
inclined
to
the
King's
Interest
,
as
the
North
;
and
a
Lord's
Brother
was
concerned
.
Then
in
the
next
place
you
are
told
,
That
at
Michaelmas
last
Mr.
Chernock
did
write
a
Letter
to
one
Haywood
,
who
had
married
his
Sister
,
and
lived
near
Sir
William
Parkyns
in
Warwickshire
,
to
desire
him
to
receive
some
Goods
into
his
House
that
were
to
come
from
Sir
William
Parkyns's
,
and
lay
them
up
very
carefull●●
for
they
were
choice
Goods
,
which
Sir
William
durst
not
leave
in
his
own
House
,
because
he
had
left
it
.
And
accordingly
there
were
these
Boxes
,
and
Chests
sent
to
Haywood's
,
and
received
by
him
into
his
House
,
where
they
continued
till
the
latter
end
of
February
.
Haywood
about
this
time
,
when
the
Design
of
the
Assassination
was
on
foot
,
met
with
Sir
William
Parkyns
in
Town
,
and
ask'd
him
how
he
would
dispose
of
those
Goods
?
Thereupon
Sir
William
Parkyns
sent
his
Servant
into
the
Country
;
and
notice
was
given
on
Ash-Wednesday
,
the
Wednesday
after
the
first
Proclamation
that
issued
upon
the
Discovery
of
this
Conspiracy
,
that
these
Goods
should
be
removed
:
And
a
Man
,
in
the
Evening
,
went
to
Haywood's
House
with
a
Cart
and
Horses
,
and
removed
these
Chests
;
they
were
Three
in
number
;
and
those
being
opened
,
there
were
Eight
lesser
ones
taken
out
,
and
carried
away
about
Nine
or
Ten
a
Clock
at
Night
,
to
Sir
William
Parkyn's
House
in
Warwickshire
,
where
they
were
buried
in
the
Garden
,
and
afterward
were
dug
up
,
which
was
at
the
Searching
Sir
William's
House
upon
the
Breaking-out
of
the
Plot
;
and
when
they
were
open'd
,
it
did
appear
what
sort
of
Goods
they
were
:
They
were
Arms
,
a
considerable
Quantity
of
them
;
Four
Dozen
of
Swords
without
Hilts
,
Twenty
five
Pair
of
Pistols
,
and
a
great
number
of
Carbines
,
Thirty
two
as
I
remember
,
and
a
parcel
of
Hilts
pack'd
up
in
a
Box
by
themselves
.
This
,
Gentlemen
,
is
sworn
to
you
by
the
Persons
that
were
present
at
the
digging
them
up
,
and
opening
the
Boxes
.
Then
,
Gentlemen
,
you
are
told
,
That
though
Sir
William
Parkyns
pretends
they
were
Arms
that
he
found
in
the
House
when
he
came
thither
,
yet
they
were
not
old
rusty
Arms
,
as
he
pretends
,
but
they
were
very
bright
,
and
fit
for
Use
and
Service
.
There
is
one
Circumstance
more
that
seems
to
affect
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
about
the
Business
of
the
Assassination
;
and
that
is
proved
by
Eubank
,
Sir
William's
own
Servant
.
There
was
a
Note
sent
upon
Saturday
,
the
22d
.
of
February
in
the
Morning
,
to
one
Brown
,
at
Kensington
,
by
Sir
William
Parkyns's
Man
;
and
this
Brown
writ
in
the
Servant's
Almanack
,
that
he
would
be
in
Town
himself
in
a
little
time
,
and
bid
him
carry
it
to
a
Man
that
lodged
at
a
Confectioners
over-against
Grey's
-
Inn
Gate
in
Holbourn
:
Sir
William
Parkyn's
Man
accordingly
goes
to
this
Confectioners
,
and
speaks
with
the
Person
there
that
he
was
directed
to
go
to
;
and
he
says
he
was
a
Scotch
Man
,
and
talk'd
broad
like
a
Scotch
Man
,
and
he
bid
him
go
and
tell
his
Master
,
That
he
would
stay
within
for
him
till
he
came
;
and
he
did
accordingly
.
Gentlemen
,
This
is
the
Sum
and
Substance
of
the
Evidence
that
is
given
against
Sir
William
Parkyns
.
Now
we
are
to
consider
what
Sir
William
says
for
himself
:
He
does
admit
,
and
agree
,
That
what
Porter
says
is
very
positive
and
full
;
but
that
is
but
the
Evidence
of
one
Witness
:
For
,
says
he
,
by
the
Law
no
Person
ought
to
be
convicted
of
High-Treason
,
upon
the
Testimony
of
one
Witness
.
As
to
the
Matter
of
Law
he
is
in
the
right
;
No
Man
ought
to
be
convicted
of
Treason
upon
the
Testimony
of
a
single
Witness
.
Now
first
suppose
the
Design
to
Assassinate
the
King
had
not
been
proved
;
consider
then
whether
there
be
not
Two
Witnesses
besides
.
Porter
proves
,
That
Chernock
,
was
sent
into
France
by
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
and
others
,
upon
that
Errand
;
to
which
,
if
you
add
the
Testimony
of
Sweet
,
that
swears
,
That
Sir
William
Parkyns
told
him
the
King
wou'd
Land
,
and
he
had
a
Troop
,
and
had
bought
Saddles
;
and
what
is
said
concerning
his
going
into
Leicestershire
,
and
his
having
a
Quantity
of
Arms
:
If
all
which
be
understood
in
pursuance
of
the
Design
against
His
present
Majesty
,
then
there
are
at
least
Two
Witnesses
of
several
Overt-Acts
of
the
same
Treason
.
For
,
Gentlemen
,
I
must
tell
you
,
tho'
there
had
been
no
Evidence
of
a
Design
to
Assassinate
the
King
,
but
the
Design
and
Purpose
had
been
to
Depose
him
,
and
set
the
late
King
upon
the
Throne
,
or
join
with
a
Force
to
invade
the
Realm
,
that
is
High-Treason
within
the
Statute
of
25
Edw.
the
Third
,
as
being
Designing
the
Death
and
Destruction
of
the
King
.
There
hath
been
a
full
Proof
by
Two
Witnesses
if
what
Sweet
,
and
the
other
Witnesses
besides
Porter
say
,
doe
prove
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
to
be
concerned
in
that
Design
,
which
shall
be
Considered
further
of
by
and
by
.
But
in
the
next
place
,
suppose
that
the
Meetings
at
the
Kings-head
in
Leaden-Hall
Street
,
and
at
Mountjoy's
had
not
been
proved
:
but
the
Design
to
Assassinate
the
King
is
proved
by
one
Witness
,
and
the
providing
Men
and
Arms
to
fight
against
him
is
proved
by
one
other
Witness
:
This
is
a
Proof
of
the
same
Treason
;
for
though
the
Overt-acts
be
several
,
yet
they
both
tend
to
the
same
end
,
the
Destruction
of
the
King
,
though
in
a
different
manner
;
and
though
the
Law
requires
two
Witnesses
to
the
same
sort
of
Treason
,
yet
it
does
not
require
two
Witnesses
to
any
one
Overt-act
.
For
if
one
Witness
prove
one
Overt-act
at
one
time
,
and
another
Witness
prove
another
Overt-act
at
another
time
,
these
are
two
Witnesses
within
the
meaning
of
the
Law
:
and
so
it
has
been
always
practised
,
and
never
denied
to
be
Law
that
I
know
of
.
Besides
it
is
observable
upon
this
point
,
which
my
Brother
has
mentioned
,
that
this
new
Act
of
Parliament
,
which
does
not
yet
take
effect
,
provides
,
That
there
shall
be
either
two
Witnesses
to
one
Overt-act
,
or
one
Witness
to
one
,
and
another
to
another
of
the
same
Species
of
Treason
;
and
you
have
had
the
Opinion
of
all
us
now
that
are
here
,
that
these
are
Overt-acts
of
one
and
the
same
Species
of
Treason
.
But
then
Sir
William
Parkyns
objects
,
That
Sweet
does
not
prove
any
Overt-act
.
Now
for
that
,
you
are
to
consider
the
Force
of
Sweet's
Evidence
,
who
tells
you
the
Discourse
of
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
about
Christmass
last
,
of
the
late
King
's
Landing
,
of
his
Saddles
,
and
of
his
Troops
consisting
of
Old
Soldiers
,
and
Volunteers
that
were
Old
Officers
:
But
says
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
this
is
only
Words
,
and
Words
are
not
Treason
:
But
then
consider
,
that
they
are
Words
that
relate
to
Acts
and
Things
.
You
hear
he
had
a
great
Quantity
of
Arms
,
beyond
what
he
,
as
a
private
Man
,
could
have
Occasion
for
,
or
would
use
.
He
does
not
give
you
any
account
what
he
was
to
do
with
those
Arms
,
or
to
what
purpose
should
he
keep
them
,
nor
why
he
caused
them
to
be
removed
in
the
night
after
they
had
lain
privately
in
Haywood's
house
,
and
caused
them
to
be
carried
back
to
his
own
house
,
and
buried
them
in
the
Ground
,
and
at
such
a
time
when
there
was
a
Plot
,
and
after
the
Plot
was
discovered
,
and
a
Proclamation
out
for
his
own
Apprehension
.
Sir
William
Parkyns's
Discourse
with
Sweet
,
of
King
James's
Landing
,
and
his
Troop
consisting
of
such
Men
,
plainly
shews
what
those
Arms
were
for
.
For
,
Gentlemen
,
Mens
Discourses
,
and
their
Words
explain
their
Actions
;
and
an
indifferent
Action
may
be
explained
by
Words
.
It
is
lawful
for
a
Man
to
buy
a
Pistol
;
but
if
it
can
be
plainly
proved
from
his
words
,
or
his
speeches
that
he
designed
the
use
of
it
against
the
Person
or
Life
of
the
King
,
that
will
be
an
Overt
Act.
Now
when
Sir
William
Parkyns
said
,
The
late
King
would
Land
,
and
that
he
had
a
Troop
which
consisted
of
such
Soldiers
;
then
these
Arms
being
found
in
that
manner
,
I
must
leave
to
your
Consideration
whether
it
is
not
a
Proof
,
for
what
purpose
he
did
provide
them
,
and
to
what
Use
he
intended
to
put
them
;
especially
since
he
gives
you
no
Account
,
what
Use
or
Occasion
he
had
for
them
.
He
says
,
indeed
,
he
found
them
in
the
house
two
years
ago
,
how
probable
that
is
,
you
may
consider
.
Then
there
is
another
thing
,
his
going
into
Leicestershire
with
Scudamore
and
his
meeting
there
with
Yarborough
and
other
People
in
that
private
and
hasty
manner
.
He
went
out
on
the
Thursday
,
and
come
home
again
upon
Monday
Night
;
and
then
he
meets
with
Sweet
,
and
tells
him
that
all
was
well
;
and
the
West
was
as
well
inclined
to
the
King's
Interest
as
the
North
:
What
King
must
he
mean
?
he
had
no
Commission
from
King
William
to
go
into
Leicestershire
to
discourse
with
People
,
to
see
how
they
stood
affected
to
his
Interest
.
Sweet
comes
and
tells
you
,
that
when
Sir
William
Parkyns
spoke
of
the
King
,
he
understood
he
meant
King
James
.
I
must
leave
it
to
your
Consideration
,
how
you
will
interpret
these
Words
.
It
is
true
Gentlemen
,
it
is
not
fit
there
should
be
any
strain'd
or
forc'd
Construction
put
upon
a
Man's
Words
or
Actions
,
when
he
's
Tryed
for
his
Life
.
You
ought
to
have
a
full
and
a
satisfactory
Evidence
to
convince
you
,
that
he
is
Guilty
,
before
you
pronounce
him
so
;
but
however
you
are
to
consider
the
Nature
of
things
,
and
the
Circumstances
that
attend
them
.
If
you
can
suppose
that
he
went
into
Leicestershire
,
to
King
William's
Friends
,
and
that
he
was
of
Opinion
,
the
West
was
as
well
Affected
to
King
William
,
as
the
North
;
then
you
make
a
different
Construction
from
Sweet
who
tells
you
,
that
always
when
he
spake
of
the
King
,
he
understood
it
of
King
James
;
and
at
Christmas
,
when
he
spoke
of
the
King
's
Landing
,
it
must
be
meant
King
James
,
for
King
William
was
here
before
;
and
he
pretends
not
he
had
any
Authority
to
Raise
a
Troop
for
King
William
.
So
that
Gentlemen
,
I
must
leave
it
to
you
upon
the
whole
matter
;
if
you
are
satisfied
,
that
Sir
William
Parkyns
is
Guilty
of
the
Matters
of
which
he
stands
Charged
,
you
will
find
him
Guilty
,
you
have
heard
the
Evidence
,
and
will
consider
of
it
,
if
upon
the
whole
,
you
are
not
satisfied
,
that
he
is
Guilty
of
the
Matters
Charged
in
this
Indictment
,
then
you
are
to
acquit
him
.
Then
an
Officer
being
Sworn
to
keep
the
Jury
according
to
the
Custom
,
they
withdrew
,
to
consider
of
their
Verdict
,
and
in
less
then
half
an
Hour
,
returned
again
into
Court
.

While
the
Jury
was
withdrawn
to
consider
of
the
Verdict
,
Sir
John
Friend
was
brought
from
Newate
to
the
Bar
,
in
order
to
his
being
called
to
Judgment
,
and
after
the
Verdict
▪
he
Addrest
himself
to
the
Court
thus
,
Friend
.
My
Lord
I
humbly
beseech
your
Lordship
to
give
leave
to
Read
this
Paper
.
[
To
which
the

gave
no

will

Ay
,
if
you
will
.
[
Reads

]
Friend

My
Lord
,
I
humbly
move
in
Arrest
of
Judgment
,
that
I
am
not
Convicted
of
Treason
by
Two
Witnesses
,
as
I
ought
to
have
been
within
the
Stat.
of
25
Ed.
3.
for
Mr.
Porter
swears
,
that
I
with
others
,
in
May
or
June
last
,
sent
to
the
French
King
to
Invade
England
;
he
is
the
only
Witness
to
that
matter
.
Mr.
Blaire
swears
,
that
I
shewed
him
a
Commission
in
Surry-street
,
about
2
Years
since
,
Sign'd
by
King
James
,
and
Countersign'd
Melfort
,
to
be
a
Colonel
of
Horse
,
and
that
I
gave
him
some
Moneys
,
for
the
Cherishing
of
the
Men.
My
Lord
,
here
is
no
Levying
of
War
,
Sworn
by
Mr.
Blair
;
and
Conspiring
to
Levy
War
not
being
Treason
,
I
am
Convicted
by
one
Witness
,
and
therefore
I
pray
Councel
may
be
Assigned
me
,
to
plead
this
matter
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
Sir
John
Friend
,
that
which
you
move
now
,
is
not
in
Arrest
of
Judgment
,
it
is
matter
that
does
arise
upon
the
Evidence
,
and
what
you
now
say
,
Arraigns
the
Verdict
,
and
the
Proceedings
upon
your
Tryal
.
There
were
Two
Witnesses
against
you
,
that
it
is
plain
.
You
were
not
Indicted
for
Levying
of
War
,
but
for
Compassing
and
Imagining
the
Death
of
the
King
;
and
we
told
you
the
design
of
the
Invasion
,
and
Conspiring
to
Depose
the
present
King
,
and
Restore
the
late
King
,
was
an
Overtact
of
that
High
Treason
The
Commission
was
not
so
much
stood
upon
;
but
the
Advanceing
Moneys
upon
this
Account
,
to
Blaire
your
Lieutenant
Colonel
;
to
give
to
the
Men
,
that
was
a
plain
Overt
Act
,
and
so
there
were
certainly
Two
Witnesses
against
you
.
Friend
.
My
Lord
,
I
hope
,
I
can
clear
my self
:
I
thank
God
,
I
am
as
Innocent
as
the
Child
un-born
,
of
the
Assassination
of
the
King
.
I
would
not
have
the
People
think
that
I
am
such
a
Man
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
But
you
remember
,
it
was
sworn
you
knew
of
it
,
and
we
have
told
you
,
that
the
design
of
Restoring
the
late
King
by
Force
,
and
Deposing
the
King
,
are
Overt
Acts
of
imagining
his
Death
,
if
such
an
Intention
be
proved
,
as
it
was
in
your
Case
,
and
the
Jury
have
found
it
so
.
Friend
.
My
Lord
,
I
humbly
beseech
you
,
because
I
do
not
understand
matter
of
Law
,
and
am
advised
to
move
this
in
Arrest
of
Judgment
;
I
desire
my
Councel
may
be
heard
to
it
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
We
cannot
hear
Councel
,
but
upon
a
matter
that
arises
upon
the
Record
it self
,
that
is
,
the
Indictment
.
We
cannot
enter
into
any
Examination
of
this
matter
,
that
you
now
speak
off
,
you
had
a
long
Tryal
Yesterday
.
Friend
.
My
Lord
,
I
am
sorry
to
give
your
Lordship
any
occasion
of
trouble
;
but
I
humbly
beseech
you
,
if
it
may
be
that
I
may
be
,
heard
by
my
Councel
,
for
the
satisfaction
of
the
World
;
pray
my
Lord
hear
what
they
can
say
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
They
cannot
say
any
thing
;
no
Councel
in
the
World
that
understand
themselves
,
can
Argue
any
thing
against
what
has
been
so
often
Settled
,
and
always
Practised
.
Friend
.
My
Lord
,
if
it
be
to
be
granted
,
I
beseech
your
Lordship
to
grant
it
.
L.
C.
J.
H.
It
cannot
be
granted
;
besides
the
matter
you
now
move
upon
,
is
improper
it
was
all
considered
upon
your
Tryal
.
It
was
told
you
,
we
did
all
agree
,
that
a
Conspiracy
to
Levy
War
to
Depose
the
King
is
Treason
,
or
to
Invade
the
Realm
is
Treason
.
All
this
was
consider'd
at
your
Tryal
,
and
that
is
now
over
.

My
Lord
,
if
your
Lordship
pleases
,
I
desire
I
may
have
the
Liberty
of
some
Friends
and
Relations
,
and
a
Minister
to
come
to
me

If
your
Lordship
pleases
,
that
they
may
come
and
be
private
with
me
,
and
pray
let
me
have
a
Rule
of
Court
for
it
,

I
shall
not
have
any
benefit
of
it

Yes
,
yes
,
it
is
very
fit
you
should
have
it
;
there
shall
be
an
Order
of
Court
for
it
;
see
that
the
Keeper
take
care
it
be
done
with
safety

Friend

My
Lord
,
I
desire
the
same
Liberty
of
a
Minister
.
and
my
Relations
and
Friends
to
come
to
me
;
that
for
what
time
I
have
to
Live
,
I
may
make
the
best
use
I
can
of
it
for
my
Soul
,
which
I
hope
God
will
enable
me
to
do
.
Then
the
Court
was
Adjourned
until
5
a
Clock
in
the
Afternoon
,
and
about
6
,
the
Justices
returned
,
and
the
Court
was
Resumed

Set

Trayterously
Compassing

Imagining

Death

Sovereign

What
canst
thou
say
for
thy self
why
the
Court
should
not
give
the
Judgment
according
to
the
Law

Then
being
made

afterwards
stood
up

Friend
.
I
have
said
already
,
what
I
have
to
say
in
Arrest
of
Judgment
.
Mr.
Com.
Serj.
Sir
,
you
have
heard
the
Judgment
of
the
Court
,
as
to
what
you
have
said
,
if
you
have
nothing
else
to
offer
,
the
Court
must
proceed
to
Judgment

(

)
Thou
standest
Convicted

Treason
,
in
Compassing
and
Imagining
the
Death
of
the
King
,
and
Adhering

What
canst
thou
say
for
thy self
,
why
the
Court
should
not
give
thee
Judgment
to
die
,
according
to
the
Law

He
was
made
to
Kneel
,
and
rise
up
again
.
Parkyns
.
I
have
nothing
more
to
offer
.
Cl.
of
Arr.
Then
Cryer
make
Proclamation
.
Cryer
.
O
yes
;
all
manner
of
Persons
are
Commanded
to
keep
Silence
,
while
Judgment
is
in
giving
,
upon
pain
of
Imprisonment
.
Which
Proclamation
was
made
on
both
sides
the
Court
;
and
then
Mr.
Common
Serjeant
,
sitting
with
the
rest
of
the
Court
upon
the
Bench
,
Pronounced
the
Sentence
.
Mr.
Com.
Ser.
You
the
Prisoners
at
the
Bar
,
Sir
John
Friend
,
and
Sir
William
Parkyns
,
you
have
been
Indicted
for
High
Treason
,
in
Compassing
the
Death
and
Destruction
of
the
King
:
For
your
Tryal
,
you
have
put
your selves
upon
the
Country
,
which
Country
has
found
you
Guilty
.
The
Offence
is
the
greatest
in
the
Judgment
of
the
Law
,
that
a
Man
can
commit
;
and
it
is
Justly
and
Reasonably
so
.
For
Robbery
and
Murder
are
Injuries
to
private
Persons
,
but
Compassing
the
Death
of
the
King
,
is
Compassing
the
Destruction
of
the
Father
of
your
Countrey
,
and
letting
in
Rapine
,
Death
,
and
Desolation
,
upon
Thousands
of
People
.
And
even
this
,
the
Hainousest
of
Offences
,
is
capable
of
Aggravation
;
for
there
have
been
always
Excuses
,
and
sometimes
Justifications
for
Rebellion
;
and
as
to
Murder
and
private
Revenge
;
there
may
be
somewhat
said
in
Mitigation
from
the
Violence
of
Men's
Passions
.
But
to
Sit
,
and
Conspire
,
and
Consult
,
and
Debate
the
Destruction
of
a
Prince
;
no
Man
yet
ever
had
the
Confidence
to
make
an
Excuse
for
it
;
I
would
not
add
to
your
Affliction
:
I
am
sensible
of
the
severe
Judgment
,
that
is
to
follow
,
and
which
you
have
brought
upon
your selves
;
and
cannot
but
Pity
you
for
the
great
burden
of
Guilt
,
that
you
have
laid
your
seves
under
.
I
only
say
this
,
to
offer
it
to
your
serious
Consideration
,
in
the
few
Moments
you
have
to
prepare
for
another
World
,
and
another
Judgment
.
All
that
remains
for
me
,
is
to
Pronounce
the
Judgment
of
the
Law
in
these
Cases
,
and
the
Court
does
Award
it
.
That
you
,
and
each
of
you
,
go
back
to
the
place
from
whence
you
came
;
and
from
thence
be
drawn
on
a
Hurdle
,
to
the
place
of
Execution
,
where
you
shall
be
severally
Hang'd
up
by
the
Neck
,
and
Cut
down
Alive
;
your
Bodies
shall
be
Ript
open
,
your
Privy
Members
Cut
off
,
your
Bowels
taken
out
,
and
burnt
before
your
Faces
,
your
Heads
shall
be
Severed
from
your
Bodies
,
your
Bodies
respectively
to
be
Divided
into
Four
Quarters
,
and
your
Heads
and
Quarters
are
to
be
at
the
Disposal
of
the
King
,
and
the
Lord
have
Mercy
upon
your
Souls
.
Then
the
Prisoners
were
carryed
back
to
Newgate
.
