Henry
Cornish
,
hold
up
thy
hand
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
have
been
confined
without
any
notice
given
me
until
Saturday
about
noon
of
my
Tryal
.
My
Lord
,
I
do
hope
,
seeing
I
appear
before
your
Lordships
and
this
Honourable
Bench
,
who
have
known
something
of
my
former
Conversation
,
that
you
will
be
pleased
to
consider
me
,
and
grant
me
what
is
customary
,
and
commonly
done
to
Persons
in
my
Circumstances
.
Mr.
Jones
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
if
you
please
you
shall
have
your
time
of
speaking
hereafter
,
but
now
you
are
only
to
plead
without
any
more
ado
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
beseech
you
hear
me
a
little
;
I
have
been
so
confined
—
Lord
Mayor
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
you
must
observe
the
Rules
of
the
Court.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
hope
I
shall
be
allowed
what
is
customary
in
such
Cases
.
Lord
Mayor
.
What
is
it
you
would
have
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
do
desire
,
if
your
Lordship
will
please
to
consider
me
—
Mr.
Jones
.
Wou'd
you
not
be
arraign'd
,
Mr.
Cornish
?
After
you
are
arraign'd
and
have
pleaded
;
you
may
speak
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
Let
me
tell
your
Lordship
what
my
case
is
:
Is
it
reasonable
not
to
have
above
half
a-days
time
for
Preparation
for
my
Tryal
,
and
no
Counsel
allowed
me
?
Mr.
Recorder
.
Nor
ought
,
without
leave
of
the
Court
,
or
by
His
Majesties
special
Appointment
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
have
not
had
a
Friend
to
come
to
me
but
in
the
Presence
of
Major
Richardson
.
Mr.
Recorder
.
None
have
in
your
Circumstances
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
ought
not
I
to
have
a
Copy
of
the
Pannel
?
it
is
a
thing
never
denied
.
Record
.
It
hath
been
denied
very
often
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
it
is
a
matter
wherein
my
Life
is
concerned
;
and
therefore
I
hope
your
Lordship
will
hear
me
.
Mr.
Jones
.
After
you
are
arraign'd
you
may
speak
,
and
put
off
your
Tryal
if
you
can
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
cannot
go
from
this
before
I
possess
your
Lordship
with
a
right
Understanding
of
it
;
it
is
beyond
Precedent
:
no
such
Precedent
,
that
any
man
should
be
kept
with
that
Strictness
I
have
been
.
Recorder
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
wonder
you
will
say
so
:
I
tell
you
there
is
no
man
accused
of
your
Crime
but
is
so
kept
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
If
your
Lordship
pleases
to
allow
me
a
little
time
,
I
do
not
question
but
I
can
very
well
satisfie
your
Lordship
,
and
this
honourable
Court
,
that
I
am
a
very
innocent
Person
.
Mr.
Recorder
.
You
will
have
your
proper
time
for
that
,
but
now
you
must
plead
,
that
you
may
hear
the
Particulars
of
your
Charge
,
and
have
an
opportunity
to
make
out
your
Innocence
;
for
we
must
keep
the
same
method
with
you
we
do
with
all
other
Persons
in
your
Circumstance
,
and
therefore
you
must
plead
as
other
Persons
do
.
Mr.
Jones
.
Will
you
,
or
will
you
not
,
Sir
,
without
any
more
ado
:
the
Law
gives
you
advantage
,
you
may
challenge
any
body
;
there
are
fourscore
returned
,
honest
men
,
and
you
may
challenge
who
you
please
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
Alas
!
my
Lord
,
what
can
I
do
?
Counsel
.
He
disputes
out
of
time
;
he
is
to
be
arraign'd
.
Recorder
.
Come
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
you
must
plead
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
did
understand
last
night
His
Majesty
was
graciously
pleased
to
refer
these
matters
,
as
to
my
Tryal
,
to
my
Lords
the
Judges
;
and
,
my
Lord
,
I
do
hope
that
the
Judges
,
when
they
hear
this
matter
,
that
I
shall
have
some
time
allowed
.
Recorder
.
Pray
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
take
the
Rule
of
the
Court
;
your
business
is
now
to
plead
;
when
you
have
pleaded
,
what
you
have
to
offer
for
the
putting
off
your
Tryal
may
be
heard
then
.
Clerk
.
Henry
Cornish
,
hold
up
thy
hand
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
would
do
nothing
that
should
be
a
dishonour
to
your
Lordship
and
the
Court.
Sir
James
Smith
.
You
know
the
way
of
the
Court
,
Mr.
Cornish
;
you
must
plead
.
Mr.
Jones
.
If
you
will
not
plead

My

Mr.

My

I
hope

be
offensive
if
I
should
acquaint
your

what
Usage
I
have
met
with
since

I

My

these
are
hard
things
;
but
tho'
I
am
denied
Counsel
,
I
trust
in
God
I
shall
not
need
Counsel

I
hope
,
if
your

pleases
to
allow
me
time

to
clear
my self
of
all
matters

I

Satisfaction

You

that
knowing

Joseph
Kelloway
and
one
Henry
Lawrence
to
be
false
Traitors
,
and
to
have
levied
War
against
the

,
on
the
20th

of

did

Upon

he

&c.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Gentlemen
of
the
Jury
,
the
course
of
our
Evidence
will
be
thus
;
Kelloway
and
Lawrence
were
in
the
late
Rebellion
in
the
West
,
in
the
late
D.
of
Monmouth's
Army
;
and
after
that
Battel
when
they
were
overthrown
,
they
came
up
to
London
,
and
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
received
and
comforted
them
,
and
not
only
provided
a
Lodging
,
and
Meat
and
Drink
for
them
,
but
afterwards
provides
another
Lodging
for
them
;
and
this
he
knew
,
for
they
were
very
merry
,
telling
the
whole
Story
of
the
Fight
;
and
notwithstanding
this
he
entertains
them
.
We
will
first
shew
you
the
Record
of
the
Conviction
of
Kelloway
and
Lawrence
,
and
then
call
Witnesses
to
prove
the
other

the

Is
that
a

Copy
of

?
Mr.

answered
Yes
:
whereupon
the
Clerk
reads
:
Joseph
Kelloway
stands

by
the
Name
of
Joseph
Kelloway
of
Taunton
in
the
County
of

,
Yeoman

,
with
a
great
many

.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
See
what
they
have
done
.
Clerk
.
They
are
indicted
of
Treason
for
levying
War
against
the
King
,
and
they
have
confessed
the
Indictment
upon
their
Arraignment
;
and
the
Judgment
upon
the
Indictment
is
,
That
the
said
Kelloway
,
and
the
rest
of
them
there
,
should
he
led
to
the
Prison
from
whence
they
came

of
Execution
,
and
upon

hanged
,
every

Indictment

and
living

and
their
Entrails
to

,
their
Heads

taken
off
from
their
Bodies
,
and
their

divided
into
four
Quarters
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
This
shews
they
were
Traitors
.
Now
we
will
shew
you
,
that
in
the

time
between
their
Treason
and
Conviction
,
this
Prisoner
did
receive
them
.
Call
Mr.
Barrington
.
(
Who
was
sworn
.
)
Mr.
Jones
.
Mr.
Barrington
,
what
do
you
know
concerning
Mr
Ring
?
Mr.
Barrington
.
If
it
please
you
my
Lord
,
on
the
12th
of
July
last
I
was
abroad
about
my
Master's
Business
,
and
in
the
mean
time
when
I
was
absent
,
as
I
was
informed
,
there
came
Mr.
Ring
,
who
lives
in
Witch-street
at
the
Sign
of
the
Bible
,
and
when
I
return'd
I
was
told
that
Mr.
Ring
was
at
our
House
to
speak
with
me
,
and
that
there
was
one
Mr.
Lawrence
there
at
Mr.
Ring
's
at
the
Bible
in
Witch-street
;
and
when
I
came
there
,
there
was
Mr.
Lawrence
at
Mr.
Ring's
House
;
and
when
I
came
to
the
House
on
the
right
hand
there
was
his
Wife
,
as
I
take
it
;
I
asked
for
Mr.
Lawrence
,
and
she
was
a
little
at
a
stand
:
said
I
,
I
understand
Mr.
Ring
was
in
such
a
place
to
inform
me
Mr.
Lawrence
desired
to
speak
with
me
,
upon
that
she
shewed
me
where
he
was
:
I
went
up
to
him
,
and
he
was
lying
upon
the
Bed
very
weary
and
tired
;
and
when
I
had
been
there
a
while
there
came
in
one
Kelloway
,
and
they
said
they
came
both
out
of
the
West
Country
,
and
came
on
Friday
night
,
and
I
saw
them
on
Saturday
.
If
it
please
your
Lordship
,
I
called
there
after
and
knocked
at
Mr.
Ring
Door
,
and
there
came
a
Woman
and
made
Answer
,
That
they
were
gone
from
thence
both
of
them
,
and
that
they
were
to
go
on
Ship-board
to
see
some
Friends
;
and
I
call'd
there
upon
Wednesday
the
15th
day
at
night
,
to
see
Mr.
Lawrence
at
Mr.
Ring's
House
,
and
Mr
Lawrence
told
me
he
was
going
from
thence
to
the
Pewter-Platter
in
Saint
Johns's
;
and
when
Mr.
common
Serjeant
came
to
examine
me
about
these
men
,
I
made
a
true
Confession
that
they
were
at
Mr.
Ring's
,
and
removed
to
the
Pewter-Platter
;
and
when
we
came
to
search
at
the
Pewter-Platter
,
at
fi●st
they
did
not
know
any
such
men
,
till
we
described
them
;
then
they
confessed
there
were
such
men
there
on
Tuesday
and
Wednesday
night
,
but
not
the
night
before
which
was
Thursday
night
,
from
thence
we
went
without
Temple
bar
to
Mr.
Ring's
,
where
they
were
at
first
,
and
Mr.
Crisp
and
I
went
together
to
enquire
for
these
men
,
and
there
was
a
Woman
,
which
I
think
is
Mr.
Ring's
Wife
,
I
can't
tell
,
I
enquired
for
these
men
,
and
she
made
Answer
,
That
they
were
not
there
at
present
,
and
said
she
could
not
tell
at
present
,
but
that
they
lay
there
the
last
night
,
which
was
Thursday
night
;
that
was
Ring's
Wife
,
I
take
it
,
should
say
they
were
there
the
night
before
;
so
afterwards
that
she
had
owned
they
lay
there
on
Thursday
night
,
she
asked
me
what
this
Gentleman
was
,
so
I
told
her
he
was
a
Friend
of
mine
;
so
afterwards
we
were
at
the
Castle
Tavern
without
Temple-bar
by
St.
Clements
Church
,
and
Mr.
Common
Serjeant
was
pleased
to
send
for
Mr.
Ring
,
to
examine
him
about
these
men
,
what
Lodgers
he
had
in
his
House
on
Friday
night
,
Saturday
night
,
Sunday
night
,
and
Monday
night
.
Mr.
Ring
knew
nothing
of
any
men
that
came
out
of
the
Country
;
so
upon
that
,
he
denying
it
,
Mr.
Common
Serjeant
ordered
his
House
to
be
searched
,
and
in
searching
they
found
a
Paper
upon
the
Chamber
Window
that
was
brought
to
the
Castle
Tavern
,
where
Mr.
Ring
was
,
and
the
Paper
was
produced
,
and
Mr.
Ring
would
confess
nothing
till
such
time
as
they
found
that
Paper
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
See
,
is
that
the
Paper
you
speak
of
?
Mr.
Barrington
.
Yes
,
this
is
the
Paper
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Now
go
on
.
Mr.
Barrington
.
That
is
all
I
have
to
say
,
if
it
please
your
Lordship
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Did
you
see
them
in
the
Company
of
Ring
?
Mr.
Barrington
.
I
did
not
see
him
when
I
was
at
the
House
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
You
say
Mr.
Ring
would
confess
nothing
till
such
time
as
this
Paper
was
found
;
What
did
he
say
after
the
Paper
was
found
?
Mr.
Jones
.
Ring
was
by
,
what
did
he
say
upon
producing
that
Paper
?
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Was
the
Paper
shewed
to
him
?
Mr.
Barrington
.
I
think
not
;
he
would
have
seen
it
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
You
said
he
would
confess
nothing
till
that
Paper
was
produced
.
Mr.
Barrington
.
Truly
,
I
can
say
no
more
of
it
.
Mr.
Jones
.
When
the
Paper
was
produced
at
the
Castle
Tavern
,
what
did
he
say
then
?
Mr.
Just.
Withins
,
What
did
Ring
say
at
the
Castle
Tavern
?
Mr.
Barrington
.
I
can't
remember
,
but
that
he
denied
every
thing
.

(
Who

)
Mr.

Sir
,
I
heard
Ring
confess
to
my
Lord
Mayor
in
July
last
,
that
he
lodged
Lawrence
and
Kelloway
,
and
that
Lawrence
and
Kelloway
did
tell
him
,
that
they
had
been
both
in
the
late
Western
Rebellion
in
Monmouth's
Army
;
and
that
after
that
he
had
lodged
them
two
or
three
Nights
,
this
I
heard

confess
.
Counsel

Pray

Mr.

That

had
told
Mr.

and
that
he
had
lodged

two

three
nights
in

House
.
Mr.
Common
Serjeant
.
What
did
you
hear

say
concerning
Mr.

.
Mr.

.
There
was
some
talk
concerning
Mr.
Herle
or
Herle
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Did
he
say
he
lodged
them
,
after
they
had
told
him
that
?
Mr.
Barrow
.
After
that
.
That
is
all
I
can
say

Call

Counsel

Give
my
Lord
and
the
Jury
an
Account

what
you
know
concerning
Mr.
Ring
.
Mr.
Crisp
.
I
went
to
search
Mr.
Ring's
House
,
my
Lord
,
and
in
the
Window
there
was
that
Letter
under
Mr.
Lawrence's
own
hand
,
sealed
up
and
directed
to
Newberry
for
a
Horse
which
he
had
stole
f●om
his
Master
,
and
left
at
Newberry
;
which
Letter
I
brought
to
the
Tavern
,
and
when
we
came
to
the
Tavern
we
examined
him
,
and
he
denied
every
thing
;
but
at
last
we
came
to
the
Tavern
we
examined
him
,
and
he
denied
every
thing
;
but
at
last
we
shewed
him
the
Letter
,
and
he
owned
he
had
such
a
Consin
,
and
another
that
he
did
not
know
,
but
that
he
did
not
lodge
there
then
:
and
when
he
came
to
the
Sessions-House
Lawrence
and
Kelloway
were
produced
before
him
,
and
were
examined
what
Account
they
had
given
to
him
when
they
came
to
his
House
;
they
told
him
after
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
was
beaten
they
ran
away
to
London
,
and
Kelloway
being
his
Cousin
brought
Lawrence
with
him
;
they
told
him
the
Duke
was
beaten
,
and
lay
there
Friday
night
,
Saturday
night
,
Sunday
night
,
and
Monday
night
.
Mr.
Jones
.
He
owned
he
knew
Kelloway
?
Mr.

.
Yes

L.
C.

And
that
Kelloway
had
been
in

Army
,

he
was
beaten

Yes

L.
C.

.
What
did

say
upon
it
?
Mr.

.
Ring
said
nothing
there

it

he
confessed

lodged
them
2
or
3
nights

Mr.
Hardisty
,
pray
will
you
give
my
Lord
and
the
Jury
an
account
of
his
Examination
?
Mr.

.
I
was
directed

at
the
Examination
of
Mr.
Ring
,
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
above
here
in
the
Room
,
and
did
accordingly
:
and
upon
Examination
,
my
Lord
,
he
did
make
this
Confession
.
This
is
the
Examination
,
and
it
is
as
he
gave
it
in
himself
,
and
signed
by

.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
And
read
to

?
Mr.

.
Yes
,
half-a-dozen
times
,
I
believe
.
Mr.
Comm.
Serj.
My
Lord
,
upon
the
appearing
of
Lawrence
and
Kelloway
before
him
,
then
he
confessed
all
.
The
Examination
of
William
Ring
of
the
Parish
of
St.
Clement
Danes
in
the
County
of
Middlesex
,
Taylor
,
taken
before
the
Right
Honourable
Sir
James
Smith
,
Kt.
Lord
Mayor
of
the
City
of
London
,
this
18.
day
of
July
,
1685.
who
,
being
examined
,
saith
as
followeth
:
THat
Joseph
Kelloway
,
and
one
Henry
Lawrence
,
the
said
Kelloway's
Acquaintance
,
came
to
this
Examinant's
House
on
Friday
or
Saturday
last
;
That
this
Examinant
did
ask
of
Kelloway
(
being
this
Examinant's
Kinsman
)
what
did
drive
them
to
Town
?
That
they
told
this
Examinant
,
that
they
went
to
Monmouth
,
that
he
was
routed
,
and
that
brought
them
to
Town
,
or
to
that
purpose
;
That
they
were
in
Monmouth's
Army
:
That
the
night
they
came
,
he
this
Examinant
told
them
,
he
was
unwilling
to
lodge
them
;
That
he
this
Examinant
did
lodge
them
after
this
Discourse
,
Saturday
,
Sunday
,
and
Monday
nights
,
and
they
dined
twice
with
this
Examinant
;
That
they
were
at
his
House
on
Friday
morning
;
but
where
they
lay
on
Wednesday
and
Thursday
,
saith
,
he
knows
not
.
Saith
,
that
Lawrence
sent
this
Examinant
to
a
Glover
in
St.
Bartholomews
Close
who
was
a
Journey-man
in
the
House
,
as
this
Examinant
supposeth
,
and
told
the
Master
of
the
House
,
that
there
was
a
Kinsman
of
his
Journey-man's
would
speak
with
his
Journey-man
.
Saith
,
Kelloway
and
his
Acquaintance
told
this
Examinant
,
that
they
left
their
Horses
at
Newberry
.
That
a
Note
being
produced
,
directed
to
this
Examinant
,
to
deliver
several
Goods
therein
mentioned
;
and
being
examined
upon
the
said
Note
,
this
Examinant
saith
,
That
he
this
Examinant
was
sent
for
to
the
Castle
Tavern
near
Shoe-lane
in
Fleetstreet
,
and
one
Bond
brought
this
Examinant
the
Note
above-mentioned
,
and
now
produced
to
him
;
believes
the
Note
to
be
the
hand-writing
of
James
Hooper
.
That
this
Examinant
was
there
to
enquire
of
one
Hearne
,
but
expected
to
meet
James
Hooper
,
who
formerly
told
this
Examinant
that
he
went
by
the
Name
of
Hearne
.
That
being
in
Discourse
with
James
Hooper
about
the
time
of
the
late
Duke
of
Monmouth's
Landing
,
James
Hooper
told
this
Examinant
,
that
his
the
said
Hooper's
Brother
was
with
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
and
that
he
the
said
James
Hooper
would
go
to
him
the
said
Duke
,
or
to
that
purpose
.
Further
,
this
Examinant
saith
,
That
about
a
Fortnight
ago
he
carried
,
according
to
a
Note
from
Hooper
to
that
purpose
,
to
a
Joyners
House
in
Ivy-lane
,
London
,
a
Cravat
and
a
pair
of
Cuffs
,
and
then
enquired
for
Hooper
of
a
Woman
of
the
said
house
;
and
saith
,
that
then
he
this
Examinant
did
speak
with
James
Hooper
who
lay
private
there
,
because
,
as
this
Examinant
believes
,
the
said
Hooper
was
concerned
in
the
Rebellion
.
Saith
,
he
hath
not
seen
him
the
said
Hooper
this
Fortnight
,
nor
heard
from
him
otherwise
than
by
the
Note
now
produced
.

Taken

Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Call
Mr.
Richardson
,
to
prove
that
these
were
the
same
men
that
were
carried
down
.
(
Who
was
sworn
.
)
Mr.
Richardson
,
Pray
give
an
account
,
whether
these
were
the
men
you
carried
down
into
the
West
.
Mr.
Richardson
.
My
Lord
;
those
two
Persons
,
that
is
,
Joseph
Kelloway
and
Henry
Lawrence
,
that
were
committed
for
being
in
the
late
Rebellion
:
I
carried
them
both
down
into
the
West
,
where
they
were
both
Convicted
;
one
is
executed
,
and
the
other
hath
a
Reprieve
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
Henry
Lawrence
was
Capt.
Hunt's
man
.
Mr.
Richardson
.
The
same
,
he
ran
away
with
his
Horse
and
Arms.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Can
you
tell
these
were
the
same
men
,
that
were
present
at
his
Examination
?
Mr.
Richardson
.
The
very
same
men
;
they
were
committed
at
the
same
time
;
he
was
examined
before
them
,
for
they
were
all
committed
at
the
same
time
together
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
What
do
you
say
,
Sir
,
you
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
what
do
you
say
for
your self
?
Mr.
Ring
.
I
did
not
understand
,
what
they
were
.
L.
C.
J.
You
knew
the
Prisoners
,
one
of
them
was
your
Kinsman
?
Mr.
Ring
.
I
did
know
him
,
but
the
other
I
did
not
know
;
I
did
not
know
,
what
Design
they
had
been
upon
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Your
own
Examination
says
,
you
did
.
Mr.
Ring
.
Then
my
Examination
is
wrong
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Hear
,
hear
again
:
You
did
receive
them
,
and
then
they
told
you
that
they
were
in
Monmouth's
Army
,
and
that
Monmouth
was
beaten
;
and
afterwards
you
continued
to
harbour
them
in
your
House
three
nights
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
And
dined
twice
with
them
.
Mr.
Ring
.
My
Lord
,
I
never
heard
of
it
.
L.
C.
Baron
.
That
Gentleman
heard
you
say
,
they
had
told
you
they
had
been
in
Monmouth's
Army
,
and
you
lodged
them
after
.
Mr.
Crisp
.
Yes
,
my
Lord
;
and
when
we
were
there
,
the
Woman
would
not
own
them
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Why
did
you
hide
them
in
your
House
,
and
not
confess
it
?
Mr.
Ring
.
At
first
I
did
deny
it
.
Counsel
.
Yes
,
and
did
deny
it
,
till
Lawrence
and
t'other
man
were
brought
before
you
.
Mr.
Ring
.
My
Lord
,
what
I
did
was
ignorantly
done
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Did
you
hear
your
Examination
now
read
?
Mr.
Ring
.
I
heard
most
of
it
,
I
believe
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Pray
let
it
be
read
again
.
Counsel
.
It
was
read
over
and
over
4
or
5
times
.
Mr.
Hardisty
.
He
was
upon
it
,
I
believe
,
an
hour
together
:
it
was
taken
first
in
parts
,
and
as
he
recollected
himself
it
was
compared
,
and
afterwards
my
Lord
Mayor
desired
him
to
consider
with
himself
:
and
then
the
Examination
was
written
fair
over
,
and
he
signed
it
,
and
it
was
read
several
times
,
6
or
7
times
.
Mr.
Ring
.
My
Lord
,
I
do
acknowledge
I
did
lodge
them
,
but
I
did
not
understand
what
Design
they
had
been
upon
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
But
you
see
here
you
have
acknowledged
,
they
said
they
were
in
the
Army
,
and
you
did
lodge
them
afterwards
;
they
were
of
Monmouth's
Party
,
they
had
told
you
so
Read
that
part
again
.
Mr.
Hardisty
.
Joseph
Kelloway
,
and
one
Lawrence
the
said
Kelloway's
Acquaintance
,
came
to
this
Examinant's
House
on
Friday
or
Saturday
last
;
that
this
Examinant
did
ask
Kelloway
,
being
this
Examinant's
Kinsman
,
What
did
drive
them
to
Town
?
that
they
told
this
Examinant
,
that
they
went
to
Monmouth
,
that
he
was
routed
,
and
that
that
brought
them
to
Town
.
Mr.
Ring
.
I
never
said
that
Word
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
It
is
under
your
Hand
.
Mr.
Ring
.
If
it
be
under
my
hand
,
I
never
said
it
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Was
that
part
read
to
him
?
Mr.
Hardisty
.
Yes
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Read
on
.
Mr.
Hardisty
.
That
they
were
in
Monmouth's
Army
;
that
the
Night
they
came
,
this
Examinant
told
them
,
he
was
unwilling
to
lodge
them
,
and
that
this
Examinant
did
lodge
them
after
this
Discovery
,
Saturday
,
Sunday
,
and
Monday
night
,
and
they
dined
twice
at
this
Examinant's
House
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
What
do
you
say
now
to
this
?
Can
there
be
any
thing
more
plain
?
Mr.
Ring
.
I
do
acknowledge
,
my
Lord
,
I
did
lodge
them
,
but
I
was
not
sensible
what
the
issue
of
this
Business
would
be
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
You
did
not
know
,
That
to
harbour
known
Traitors
was
high
Treason
.
Mr.
Ring
.
My
Lord
,
I
don't
know
whether
they
came
from
Monmouth
or
no.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
It
is
no
great
matter
whether
you
do
or
no
;
they
told
you
so
.
Mr.
Ring
.
I
never
heard
such
a
Word
from
them
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
How
came
it
to
be
put
in
your
Examination
?
Mr.
Ring
.
I
don't
know
,
my
Lord
,
when
it
was
taken
I
was
in
a

I
think
the
Parish
knew
well
enough
,
that
I
never
kept
any
such
Company
,
nor
had
any
such
Design
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
He
confesses
it
over-night
,
causes
it
to
be
writ
down
next
day
,
and
sets
his
hand
to
it
too
:
nothing
can
be
more
plain
.
L.
C.
J.
That
is
a
great
Argument
you
were
not
in
such
surprise
,
that
you
had
not
the
use
of
your
Understanding
;
for
you
confessed
the
same
thing
over
night
,
and
you
had
time
to
consider
of
it
all
night
,
and
you
came
the
next
morning
and
then
confessed
as
now
it
is
written
,
and
put
your
hand
to
it
.
Mr.
Ring
.
I
was
ordered
to
put
my
Hand
to
it
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
That
is
,
if
you
acknowledged
it
to
be
true
.
Mr.
Ring
.
I
did
not
know
what
was
put
down
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
The
matter
is
so
plain
,
that
nothing
can
be
more
.
When
they
came
to
you
,
they
informed
you
where
they
had
been
,
and
afterwards
you
were
unwilling
to
lodge
them
;
you
knew
therefore
they
had
been
in
the
Rebels
Army
,
and
so
the
matter
is
plain
:
and
for
ought
I
can
hear
,
this
is
not
the
first
time
you
have
harbour'd
such
men
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
There
is
another
thing
touching
one
Hurle
;
but
you
are
not
charged
with
it
in
the
Indictment
,
and
so
we
don't
trouble
the
Jury
with
any
Evidence
concerning
that
:
Have
you
any
more
to
say
?
Mr.
Ring
.
I
do
acknowledge
,
my
Lord
,
that
I
lodged
them
;
but
I
did
not
understand
any
thing
else
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Why
did
not
you
confess
it
?
Mr.
Ring
.
I
did
not
confess
it
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
And
you
shifted
Lodging
for
them
,
after
they
were
known
,
to
you
.
Mr.
Ring
,
I
did
not
.
L.

Gentlemen
of
the
Jury
,
the
Prisoner
stands
Indicted
of
high
Treason
for
receiving
Joseph
Kelloway
and
Henry
Lawrence
,
who
were
Traitors
,
and
known
to
him
to
be
Traitors
,
and
harbouring
them
in
his
House
,
and
giving
them
Entertainment
and
Comfort
:
this
,
Gentlemen
,
is
clearly
High-Treason
by
Law
;
and
tho'
this
man
himself
were
not
in
actual
Rebellion
,
yet
,
if
he
do
receive
any
that
he
knows
to
have
been
so
,
he
is
equally
guilty
;
he
is
a
principal
Traitor
by
the
Judgment
of
the
Law
;
and
however
he
would
now
pretend
his
Ignorance
,
that
he
did
not
know
that
they
were
in
the
Army
,
or
,
if
he
did
know
they
were
in
the
Army
,
that
he
had
incurr'd
so
great
a
danger
as
the
forfeiture
of
his
Life
,
which
now
he
stands
as
well
as
he
can
to
defend
;
yet
it
does
appear
plainly
to
you
,
not
only
by
his
own
Confession
taken
upon
his
Examination
,
but
likewise
by
the
Testimony
of
the
Witnesses
,
who
were
present
at
the
time
when
he
did
confess
that
these
men
had
discoursed
with
him
,
and
acknowledged
that
they
were
in
Monmouth's
Army
,
and
that
he
was
routed
,
and
that
yet
he
did
entertain
and
receive
them
:
The
first
Witness
indeed
does
not
say
the
very
thing
,
but
it
is
very
much
inducing
to
the
Evidence
that
is
given
more
express
by
the
other
Witness
,
for
he
says
,
that
he
was
at
his
House
,
and
he
enquired
for
them
there
,
tho
he
did
not
see
him
at
all
,
but
his
People
;
and
they
not
only
did
confess
that
they
had
lodged
there
,
but
that
there
was
a
Lodging
provided
for
them
elsewhere
:
but
however
,
if
that
were
quite
laid
aside
,
and
not
taken
at
all
into
consideration
,
yet
what
is
testified
by
the
other
Witnesses
,
and
upon
his
own
Examination
,
makes
it
as
clear
and
plain
as
can
be
,
that
he
did
receive
these
Persons
into
his
house
,
and
comfort
them
,
and
entertain
them
,
knowing
them
to
have
been
guilty
of
High-Treason
,
that
is
,
to
have
been
in
the
Army
of
Monmouth
,
of
that
Party
,
and
that
they
came
to
London
,
and
went
away
from
the
West
because
he
was
beaten
;
and
there
is
an
Expression
in
the
Examination
to
that
purpose
:
so
that
I
take
the
Indictment
to
be
very
fully
and
clearly
proved
upon
him
;
and
it
is
not
his
Ignorance
of
the
Law
that
will
excuse
him
,
that
is
,
his
ignorance
of
the
Danger
that
he
hath
incurr'd
by
entertaining
these
People
;
altho
you
cannot
but
take
notice
,
that
he
was
in
some
dread
had
fear
that
it
was
an
offence
to
do
so
;
for
at
fi●st
he
says
by
his
Examination
,
that
he
did
refuse
to
entertain
them
,
which
shews
that
he
had
some
consideration
of
the
danger
that
he
might
incur
by
receiving
them
:
and
yet
after
this
plain
Discourse
of
theirs
,
that
they
were
in
the
Army
,
he
entertains
them
:
That
they
were
the
same
men
that
were
in
the
Army
,
appears
plainly
;
for
though
at
first
he
did
deny
it
,
and
did
stand
in
it
,
before
he
was
confronted
by
the
men
,
they
being
present
;
yet
afterwards
he
did
confess
,
that
they
were
the
men
that
were
entertained
by
him
;
and
that
they
were
the
same
men
,
doth
appear
by
the
Testimony
of
Capt.
Richardson
,
who
saw
them
,
and
afte●wards
caused
them
to
be
b●ought
down
to
the
West
,
where
one
of
them
was
executed
for
Treason
.
So
I
must
leave
it
to
you
,
Gentlemen
.
I
think
it
in
a
very
plain
case
.

is

This
is
an
Indictment
of
High-Treason
against
John
Fernley
,
the
Prisoner
at
the
Blin●
it
sets
forth
;
〈◊〉
the
said
John
Fernley
,
knowing
one
James
Burton
to
be
a
Traitor
,
and
to
have
conspired
against
the
Life
of
the
King
;
did
traiterously
conceal
she
said
Burten
two
days
and
two
nights
,
and
gave
him
Meat
and
D●ink
,
against
the
Du●y
,
&c.
Mr.
Sol
Gen.
May
it
please
your
Lordship
,
and
you
Gentlemen
of
the
Jury
,
this
Prisoner
stands
indicted
of
Treason
for
receiving
and
harbouring
one
James
Burton
who
was
guilty
of
Treason
,
he
knowing
him
to
have
been
guilty
of
Treason
.
And
the
course
of
our
Evidence
will
be
this
:
We
will
prove
that
this
James
Burton
stood
our
lawed
for
Treason
before
he
committed
a
new
Treason
,
when
he
went
into
the
West
,
and
was
there
with
Monmouth
in
the
late
Rebellion
;
and
tho
,
Gentlemen
,
the
very
Outlawry
against
the
said
Burton
is
enough
to
satisfie
any
man
,
that
this
man
could
not
be
ignor
and
that
he
was
a
Traitor
,
for
no
man
can
imagine
,
when
a
man
stands
out
a
Process
till
he
become
out-lawed
for
High-Treason
,
that
any
should
be
ignorant
that
he
is
guilty
of
Treason
,
and
that
it
would
be
very
dangerous
to
receive
a
man
after
that
,
without
any
more
evidence
:
But
this
Burton
,
after
he
was
out-lawed
and
fled
,
came
again
,
and
was
in
Arms
with
Monmouth
in
the
Rebellion
;
and
after
their
Defeat
he
came
up
to
Town
:
and
Fernley
knowing
he
had
been
then
in
the
West
with
Monmouth
,
he
received
him
,
and
harboured
him
;
and
this
we
will
prove
by
Witnesses
.
First
,
we
will
shew
the
Record
of
the
Outlawry

Mr.

My

I
have

I
had
some
Discourse
of
the
Army
;
he
knew
I
was
in
the
Army
.
L.
C.

Jones
.
I
would
have

sense
,
so
far

the
Discourse

time

Mr.

The
Sense

as
far
as
I

was

That

How
came
he
to
know
you
were
there
?
Mr.

I

I
told
him
so
my self

I

I
had

four
days

two

How
came
this

at
Mr
,
Fernley's
House
,
can
you
give
an
Account
?
and
why
it
was
?
Mrs.
Burton
.
Because
I
thought
he
was
not
safe
at
home
;
and
having
Acquaintance
with
Mrs.
Fernley
,
lodging
pretty
near
,
and
she
being
a
young
Woman
,
and
having
Children
;
I
had
Acquaintance
going
to
and
fro
:
and
we
having
a
close
House
and
no
Yard
,
I
had
the
Priviledge
of
going
to
dry
Linnen
there
,
so
that
we
had
Acquaintance
and
a
little
Familiarity
;
and
,
being
acquainted
,
I
thought
I
might
have
Entertainment
there
;
that
is
all
I
can
say
.
L.

Were

Dinner
?
Mrs.
Burton
,
Indeed
I
can't
say
they
had
any
Discourse
,
I
was
very
ill
and
laid
me
down
upon
the
Bed
,
and
fell
asleep
.

Mrs.
Burton
,
I
know
I
am
,
Sir
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
What
Discourse
was
at
Dinner
?
Mrs.
Burton
,
Whilst
I
was
eating
,
I
did
not
mind
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
You
lived
close
by
,
Why
did
you
ask
for
a
Lodging
there
?
Mrs.
Burton
,
We
do
not
live
close
by
,
now
;
I
live
with
my
Daughter
,
I
have
no
House
now
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
She
knew
he
was
Your
Husband
,
why
should
you
lodge
your
Husband
at
another
house
than
where
you
lodged
your self
?
Mrs.
Burton
,
What
was
it
you
said
,
my
Lord
?
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
Sure
you
would
give
the
Woman
some
account
,
why
you
lodged
your
Husband
at
another
House
than
where
you
lodged
your self
?
Mrs.
Burton
.
She
was
not
altogether
a
Stranger
,
and
upon
the
Account
of
the
Proclamation
there
were
none
of
them
Strangers
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
For
whom
did
you
ask
a
Lodging
?
Mrs.
Burton
.
For
my
Husband
.
Mr.
North.
Did
you
speak
with
Mr.
Fernley
himself
?
Mrs.
Burton
.
I
did
not
speak
with
Mr.
Fernley
himself
.
Mr.
North.
On
Sunday
you
saw
him
at
Dinner
?
Mrs.
Burton
.
Yes
,
I
saw
him
at
Dinner
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
Had
you
any
discourse
with
them
about
the
Proclamation
?
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
About
your
Husbands
going
away
upon
that
Proclamation
?
Mrs.
Burton
.
An
't
please
you
,
my
Lord
,
my
distress
was
so
great
,
that
I
was
hardly
in
my
Senses
to
discourse
with
any
body
;
but
,
I
thank
God
,
I
am
now
in
my
Senses
between
whiles
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Had
you
any
Discourse
with
your
Neighbours
about
that
Proclamation
,
your
Husband
went
away
upon
?
Mrs.
Burton
,
I
had
not
indeed
.
(
Then
Mr.
Reynolds
was
sworn
.
)
Mr.
North
,
Mr.
Reynolds
,
What
do
you
know
concerning
Mr.
Burton's
being
lodged
at
Mr.
Fernley's
House
?
Mr.
Reynolds
,
Towards
the
beginning
of
August
last
,
hearing
that
there
were
several
that
were
in
the
West
lurk'd
about
Wapping
,
I
took
the
Lieutenant
of
the
Towers
Warrant
,
and
we
had
some
intimation
,
that
a
suspected
Person
lay
at
Mr.
Fernley's
House
;
I
went
on
Sunday
about
eight
a
Clock
at
Night
,
and
took
Mr.
Burton
in
Mr.
Fernley's
House
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
,
You
took
him
there
,
did
you
?
Mr.
Reynolds
.
I
took
him
there
,
my
Lord
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
you
speak
with
Fernley
before
you
took
Burton
?
Mr.
Reynolds
,
I
took
Burton
;
and
Mr.
Fernley
being
Master
of
the
House
,
I
wished
the
Constable
to
secure
him
for
Harbouring
him
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
did
Fernley
say
?
Mr.
Reynolds
,
Says
I
,
Mr.
Fernley
,
how
come
you
to
Harbour
Mr.
Burton
that
is
in
the
King's
Proclamation
;
he
is
a
Traytor
you
know
;
says
he
,
I
did
not
know
it
was
Mr.
Burton
,
but
my
Wife
desired
me
to
lye
out
of
the
Chamber
where
I
lay
before
,
that
a
friend
of
hers
might
lye
there
for
two
or
three
daies
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Where
did
you
find
him
?
Mr.
Reynolds
,
He
was
in
a
Room
up
one
pair
of
Stairs
,
up
the
Chimney
,
and
while
we
were
there
he
fell
down
the
Chimney
,
with
all
the
Soot
about
him
:
Mr.
Fernley
was
then
one
pair
of
Stairs
higher
;
I
desired
the
Constable
to
go
up
to
see
for
him
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Had
you
no
discourse
with
him
about
the
business
of
being
in
the
Army
?
with
Fernley
,
I
mean
.
Mr.
Reynolds
,
No
my
Lord
.
L.
C.
J.
Did
you
hear
no
discourse
between
Burton
and
him
?
Mr.
Reynolds
,
No
,
my
Lord
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
He
was
very
friendly
to
lye
out
of
his
own
Chamber
for
him
.
Mr.
Reynolds
,
They
were
put
in
two
separate
Chambers
,
by
the
King's
direction
till
they
were
sent
to
Newgate
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
he
tell
you
on
Sunday
Night
that
he
did
not
know
it
was
Burton
?
Mr.
Reynolds
.
To
the
best
of
my
remembrance
,
he
did
so
,
when
I
brought
him
to
the
Tower
,
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
And
yet
he
dined
with
him
on
Sunday
.
Mr.
Reynolds
,
I
looked
upon
it
as
an
excuse
.
Mr.
North.
What
day
was
Burton
taken
?
Mr.
Reynolds
,
It
was
Sunday
.
Mr.
North
,
What
time
on
Sunday
?
Mr.
Reynolds
,
Sunday
about
8
a
Clock
at
Night
he
had
been
in
Bed
,
my
Lord
,
I
believe
,
and
before
we
could
get
open
the
door
I
believe
he
got
out
of
Bed
and
went
to
get
up
the
Chimney
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Gentlemen
you
observe
in
the
course
of
the
Evidence
,
that
the
first
Evidence
we
produce
is
James
Burton
;
now
James
Burton
stood
outlawed
for
Treason
and
as
he
stands
outlawed
he
is
not
a
Competent
Witness
,
but
now
to
take
off
that
Objection
which
the
Prisoner
ought
to
make
,
but
we
make
it
for
him
,
we
shew
you
here
a
Pardon
whereby
that
Outlawry
is
discharged
,
so
that
he
stands
now
a
very
legal
Witness
.
Mr.
Just.
Withings
,
You
understand
,
Gentlemen
,
what
Mr.
Solicitor
mentions
.
(
The
Pardon
produced
)
and
Read
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
What
say
you
?
Mr.
Fernley
,
My
Lord
,
I
am
charged
for
entertaining
Burton
,
my
Lord
,
I
knew
nothing
of
him
when
he
came
into
my
House
till
Sabbath
day
at
dinner
.
I
asked
my
Wife
what
time
Burton
came
in
,
she
told
me
he
came
on
Friday
Night
,
Saturday
was
a
busie
day
with
me
,
my
Lord
,
on
Sunday
Morning
I
got
up
and
went
to
Church
,
when
I
came
from
Church
,
I
went
up
to
Dinner
and
when
I
came
in
and
saw
him
,
I
asked
him
,
what
in
the
name
of
God
brought
him
there
,
it
hath
pleased
God
,
said
he
,
to
preserve
me
hitherto
,
and
my
Wife
interceded
so
far
as
to
procure
me
a
Nights
Lodging
,
which
I
hope
may
be
no
detriment
to
you
,
I
wish
it
may
not
,
said
I
,
and
at
dinner
I
asked
him
,
how
he
made
his
escape
,
and
he
told
me
how
he
did
escape
,
says
I
,
what
do
you
mean
to
do
?
says
he
,
some
friends
will
procure
me
a
passage
beyond
Sea
,
upon
this
I
considered
with
my self
,
and
discours'd
with
him
about
the
West
and
his
Escape
out
of
it
,
&
about
half
an
hour
after
we
had
dined
one
knocked
at
the
door
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
,
What
day
was
this
?
Mr.
Fernley
,
Sabbath-day
at
noon
,
some
body
knocked
at
the
door
,
and
they
told
me
●here
was
one
would
speak
with
me
,
and
I
came
down
,
and
there
was
one
Gaunt
in
the
Shop
:
says
he
,
is
Mr.
Burton
within
?
may
I
speak
with
him
?
Yes
,
said
I
:
up
I
went
,
and
Gaunt
with
me
;
and
when
we
came
into
the
Room
they
embraced
on
▪
another
,
and
were
very
glad
to
see
one
another
,
and
Burton
gave
Mr.
Gaunt
Thanks
for
a
Guinea
he
had
sent
him
;
says
Gaunt
,
Mr.
Burton
I
am
glad
to
see
you
,
I
hope
in
a
little
time
I
shall
have
a
Passage
for
you
beyond
Sea
;
says
he
,
if
you
had
been
here
a
while
sooner
you
might
have
gone
;
there
are
some
Gentlemen
went
away
a
while
ago
;
says
I
to
Mr.
Gaunt
,
Who
were
they
?
he
told
me
it
was
Major
〈◊〉
and
his
Son
,
and
another
:
says
I
to
Mr.
Gaunt
,
Do
you
hear
of
Ferguson
?
no
,
says
he
,
I
hear
nothing
of
him
as
yet
,
but
in
a
little
time
I
may
hear
from
him
;
and
Burton
asked
,
when
he
thought
he
might
be
going
;
in
a
day
or
two's
time
,
said
he
says
Burton
,
I
have
no
money
nor
no
cloaths
;
says
he
,
take
no
care
for
that
,
so
he
named
some
Gentlemen
that
were
to
go
:
He
told
him
of
Colonel
Danvers
and
Major
Wildman
.
Upon
this
Discourse
,
within
my self
I
did
consider
what
way
I
might
do
his
Majesty
a
piece
of
Service
:
I
thought
it
better
to
forbear
,
and
not
to
seize
him
presently
,
till
I
had
acquainted
some
Magistrate
;
and
I
did
think
in
the
morning
to
have
gone
to
a
Justice
of
Peace
and
have
had
him
apprehended
:
Burton
,
my
Lord
,
I
knew
was
secure
,
for
he
could
not
escape
my
hands
.
I
had
no
design
of
concealing
him
;
I
have
several
eminent
Gentlemen
to
testifie
for
my
Loyalty
:
I
thank
God
,
I
never
had
an
ill
Though
against
His
Majesty
in
my
Life
,
only
this
misfortune
hath
befallen
me
upon
the
account
of
my
Wife
.
I
am
as
innocent
as
a
Child
unborn
,
as
to
any
thing
against
the
King
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
But
he
plainly
told
you
,
he
came
from
the
Army
.
Mr.
Fernley
,
He
did
acquaint
me
,
my
Lord
,
he
did
so
;
as
soon
as
I
saw
him
,
I
was
startled
;
I
did
look
upon
it
as
a
thing
sent
from
God
Almighty
;
for
I
knew
,
my
Lord
,
that
there
was
100
l.
for
him
,
I
knew
there
was
a
Proclamation
out
against
him
;
but
as
for
the
Outlawry
,
I
knew
nothing
of
that
:
a
Proclamation
I
knew
there
was
against
him
,
and
being
a
poor
man
,
there
was
no
Obligation
upon
me
to
conceal
him
and
ruine
my self
and
my
Family
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
What
was
the
reason
,
You
were
so
kind
as
to
part
with
Your
own
Lodging
to
entertain
him
?
Mr.
Fernly
,
My
Lord
,
I
had
fitted
my
Chamber
before
he
came
to
the
House
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
,
It
is
proved
,
you
did
it
upon
his
Account
.
Mr.
Fernley
,
My
Lord
,
no
body
will
offer
to
say
that
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
That
You
quitted
Your
Lodging
,
and
that
he
came
into
the
same
Lodging
,
is
clearly
proved
.
Mr.
Fernley
,
My
Lord
,
my
Chamber
was
fitted
above
a
Week
before
he
came
,
not
knowing
of
him
,
for
I
had
no
Thoughts
of
him
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Pray
,
what
Servants
have
you
?
Mr.
Fernley
,
Only
a
Boy
,
my
Lord
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Could
not
you
have
sent
out
your
Boy
when
he
had
discoursed
thus
treasonably
with
you
,
but
keep
him
in
your
House
7
or
8
hours
after
you
had
entertain'd
him
at
Dinner
?
Counsel
.
Are
you
a
Constable
?
Mr.
Fernley
.
I
am
a
Constable
my self
,
and
upon
the
Account
of
my
Office
I
was
the
more
secure
.
I
was
certain
he
could
not
escape
my
Hands
,
and
I
thought
to
do
his
Majesty
more
Service
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
How
could
you
do
His
Majesty
more
Service
?
Mr.
Fernley
.
Gaunt
told
him
,
he
would
come
again
to
him
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
When
did
he
come
to
you
?
Mr.
Fern.
About
half
an
hour
after
dinner
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
But
you
should
have
seized
him
immediately
after
Dinner
,
How
came
this
man
to
take
so
much
freedom
before
you
that
were
an
Officer
,
as
to
talk
High-Treason
.
Mr.
Fernley
.
My
Lord
,
I
thank
God
if
I
were
to
dye
this
minute
,
I
never
harbour'd
a
Thought
against
the
King
.
L.
C.
Baron
.
If
you
had
had
a
loyal
Heart
,
you
should
have
kept
Gaunt
,
if
you
had
any
thoughts
to
have
done
it
.
Mr.
Fernley
.
My
Lord
,
I
will
tell
you
why
I
let
Gaunt
go
,
because
he
promised
to
come
again
the
next
day
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Would
you
,
being
a
Constable
,
let
a
man
go
upon
his
Word
,
that
had
confessed
himself
guilty
of
Treason
?
Mr.
Fernley
.
My
Lord
,
if
I
did
any
thing
it
was
ignorantly
.
My
Lord
,
as
for
Gaunt
,
when
I
knew
there
was
a
Proclamation
out
against
Danvers
and
Wildman
,
I
hearing
Gaunt
discoursing
about
their
design
,
I
thought
(
promising
to
come
the
next
day
)
to
know
how
they
were
to
go
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
For
God's
sake
,
would
you
trust
all
this
to
your
own
breast
!
If
you
had
had
an
honest
intention
,
you
would
have
gone
to
some
Officers
,
and
acquainted
them
with
it
;
some
of
the
King's
Justices
of
the
Peace
,
or
some
of
the
Privy-Council
,
that
such
persons
would
be
at
your
house
the
next
day
.
L.
Ch.
Baron
.
By
your
own
discourse
,
after
you
had
heard
all
this
discourse
,
and
after
Burton
had
told
you
this
,
you
could
let
him
go
quietly
to
his
own
Chamber
:
If
you
had
such
a
design
as
you
say
,
you
should
have
first
seized
Burton
.
Mr.
Fernley
.
Another
Chamber
;
no
,
he
din'd
in
his
Chamber
,
my
Lord
?
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
You
went
into
another
Chamber
from
him
.
Have
you
any
Witnesses
?
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
They
had
a
confidence
in
you
,
otherwise
Burton
and
Gaunt
would
not
have
talk'd
so
freely
before
you
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
There
was
a
great
confidence
in
lodging
him
in
your
house
,
being
a
Constable
:
no
body
would
search
a
Constable's
house
.
Have
you
any
Witnesses
to
call
?
Mr.
Fernley
.
Mr.
William
Rush
,
Captain
Haddock
,
(
who
were
call'd
.
)
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Did
Burton's
Wife
dine
with
you
and
him
?
Mr.
Fernley
.
Yes
,
my
Lord
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Where
did
you
dine
?
Mr.
Fernley
.
In
the
Chamber
,
my
Lord
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
And
was
this
discourse
concerning
Monmouth's
being
beaten
in
the
West
,
at
the
time
of
dinner
?
Mr.
Fernley
.
The
discourse
of
it
?
Yes
,
my
Lord
;
what
discourse
was
,
was
at
dinner
?
Mr.
Just.
—
Was
Burton's
Wife
at
dinner
,
or
was
she
upon
the
bed
?
Mr.
Fernley
.
She
din'd
at
the
Table
,
my
Lord
.
My
Lord
,
she
went
to
sleep
when
Gaunt
came
in
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.

Where
do
you
use
to
dine
at
other
times
?
Mr.
Fernley
.
In
the
Kitchen
,
my
Lord
.
My
Lord
,
when
I
came
from
Church
the
dinner
was
sent
up
thither

L.

Woman
,
you
are
upon
your
Oath
,
remember
that
you
are
oblig'd
by
your
Oath
to
confess
the
truth
,
let
it
concern
whom
it
will
:
The
discourse
between
your
Husband
and
this
man
you
could
not
but
be
privy
to
;
there
was
only
you
three
at
dinner
,
your
Husband
,
You
,
and
Fernley
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
:
All
this
discourse
was
at
dinner-time
,
how
is
it
possible
that
you
should
not
hear
it
?
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
Fernley
himself
owns
he
did
discourse
with
your
Husband
at
dinner
that
he
came
from
the
Rebels
in
the
West
.
Mrs.
Burton
.
An
't
please
you
,
my
Lord
,
I
did
not
hear
.
As
I
said
before
,
I
must
say
again
,
I
did
not
hear
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
Nothing
about
Monmouth
?
Mrs.
Burton
.
No
,
not
one
word
,
if
I
were
to
die
as
I
stand
here
.
Mr.
Just.
—
You
were
at
dinner
?
Mrs.
Burton
.
Yes
,
my
Lord
.
Mr.
Just.
—
And
this
discourse
was
at
dinner-time
.
Mrs.
Burton
.
I
did
not
hear
it
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
What
would
you
ask
him
,
Sir
?
Mr.
Fernley
.
What
account
he
can
give
of
my
life
and
conversation
,
how
I
have
behaved
my self
,
and
carried
my self
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
What
are
you
,
Sir
?
what
is
your
quality
?
Mr.
Rush
.
I
am
a
Distiller
,
Sir
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
Where
do
you
dwell
?
Mr.
Rush
.
I
did
dwell
two
years
ago
in
Wapping
,
but
not
now
I
live
now
at
Waltham-Stow
.
Officer
.
He
is
a
very
great
Whig
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
If
he
be
a
Whig
,
he
can't
be
a
little
one
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
How
long
have
you
liv'd
at
Waltham-Stow
?
Mr.
Rush
.
Two
years
and
upwards
,
Sir
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
That
is
long
before
any
thing
that
this
man
is
charged
withal
.
Mr.
Rush
.
I
formerly
knew
the
man
as
he
was
a
Barber
,
and
us'd
to
trim
me
:
I
always
looked
upon
him
to
be
a
good
sober
man
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
A
Wapping-man
,
a
sober
Wapping-man
.
Mr.
Rush
.
I
hope
there
is
a
great
many
there
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
That
is
all
you
can
say
for
him
.
Mr.
Rush
.
I
have
nothing
to
say
to
his
fact
:
He
demeaned
himself
always
well
among
his
Neighbours
;
I
know
nothing
of
the
fact
for
which
he
is
here
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
you
know
Burton
?
Mr.
Rush
.
Yes
,
Sir
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
was
Burton
?
was
he
reputed
an
honest
man
?
Mr.
Rush
.
I
never
knew
him
otherwise
;
I
never
was
in
his
company
;
I
know
he
dwelt
close
by
where
I
liv'd
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
And
you
took
him
to
be
a
very
honest
man
?
Mr.
Rush
.
Before
this
:
He
has
not
been
so
lately
,
it
seems
.
He
is
a
person
I
never
had
any
company
or
conversation
with
in
my
life
.
Cryer
.
Captain
Haddock
.
Officer
.
He
won't
come
in
my
Lord

L.
C.

Well
,
well
,
let
him
stay
there
.
Cryer
.
Mr.
Dove

Officer

He
won't
come
in
,
I
can't
make
him
come
in

L.
C.
J.

Here
are
none
that
give
any
testimony
for
you
,
at
least
will
—
What
are
you
?
Mr.
Whittal
.
I
dwell
in
Wapping
,
Sir
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
What
trade
are
you
?
Mr.
Whittal
.
A
Plumber
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
Who
knows
you
?
Mr.
Whittal
.
I
am
very
well
known
there
,
Sir
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
Do
you
go
to
Church
?
Mr.
Whittal
.
Here
's
Mr.
Tanner
knows
me
,
the
Clerk
of
the
Peace
.
Mr.
Tanner
.
Yes
,
Sir
,
I
know
him
.
Mr.
Just:
Levins
.
Do
you
go
to
Church
?
Mr.
Whittal
.
Always
went
to
Church
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
There
were
a
parcel
of
them
that
went
constantly
to
Church
trimmingly
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Prisoner
,
what
would
you
ask
him
?
Mr.
Fernley
.
Only
to
give
an
account
how
I
behaved
my self
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
Well
Sir
,
what
do
you
say
?
Mr.
Whittal
.
All
I
know
is
,
he
behav'd
himself
very
well
,
and
went
to
Church
as
other
Neighbours
did
;
and
I
never
heard
him
speak
against
the
Government
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
Did
you
know
Burton
?
Mr.
Whittal
.
No
,
Sir
;
he
was
gone
before
I
came
to
live
there
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Have
you
any
more
to
say
?
Mr.
Fernley
.
This
,
my
Lord
,
may
give
some
account
that
I
had
no
design
against
the
Government
.
I
am
a
poor
man
,
my
Lord
,
and
upon
that
account
I
owe
a
great
deal
of
money
:
I
knew
there
was
100
l.
for
securing
Burton
,
there
was
no
gain
by
concealing
him
;
he
was
not
a
person
could
require
me
,
that
I
should
harbour
him
,
and
lose
100
l.
which
was
certain
for
taking
him
;
which
(
my
Lord
)
shews
I
had
no
design
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
No
,
this
argues
you
to
be
a
stronger
Confederate
;
and
that
you
were
so
firm
to
your
Party
,
you
would
not
gain
100
l.
though
you
might
have
it
for
doing
your
duty
.
Mr.
Fernley
.
My
Lord
,
I
look'd
upon
it
as
sure
as
if
I
had
it
in
my
pocket
.
I
knew
nothing
of
him
till
Sabbath-day
at
noon
,
and
I
did
not
design
to
conceal
him
afterwards
any
farther
than
to
serve
the
King
.
L.
Ch.
J.
Jones
.
You
tell
us
a
story
of
your self
,
it
is
to
no
purpose
to
try
any
Prisoner
,
if
his
saying
must
be
taken
for
Evidence
:
we
will
hear
what
Witnesses
you
have
to
produce
,
or
if
you
can
object
to
the
Evidence
that
's
against
you
.
Mr.
Fernley
.
My
Lord
,
I
own
it
to
be
true
,
I
have
declared
more
than
the
Witnesses
have
said
against
me
;
but
my
Lord
,
I
am
innocent
in
it
,
God
knows
my
heart
,
I
had
no
design
in
it
.
It
was
but
six
hours
I
knew
of
him
.
Mr.
J.
Withins
.
You
lay
out
of
your
bed
before
.
Mr.
Fernley
.
My
Lord
,
not
upon
his
account
,
I
was
a
week
before
out
of
that
bed
,
to
prepare
it
for
my
Wife
to
lie-in
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Is
your
wife
delivered
?
Mr.
Fernley
.
No.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
You
made
great
hast
.
Mr.
Fernley
.
It
was
my
Wife's
fault
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Gentlemen
of
the
Jury
,
this
Prisoner
stands
indicted
for
harbouring
and
relieving
one
James
Burton
,
knowing
him
to
have
committed
Treason
.
Gentlemen
,
you
are
to
be
acquainted
,
that
this
James
Burton
,
was
not
only
guilty
of
the
late
Rebellion
in
the
West
,
but
he
was
likewise
charged
by
process
with
being
guilty
of
the
Plot
at
the
Rye-house
,
and
thereupon
there
was
such
proceedings
by
Law
,
that
he
was
Outlawed
,
the
Record
of
which
Outlawry
hath
been
produced
to
you
;
so
that
if
there
were
no
more
,
if
you
be
perswaded
that
he
is
the
Person
guilty
,
whether
he
were
in
the
Rebellion
in
the
West
or
no
,
that
may
induce
you
to
find
this
Indictment
,
for
the
Prisoner
receiving
him
after
the
Rebellion
in
the
West
,
and
knowing
him
to
have
committed
Treason
,
whereupon
he
was
Outlawed
,
it
equally
makes
him
liable
to
the
offence
wherewith
he
is
charged
:
But
,
Gentlemen
,
that
is
not
all
;
you
have
express
Testimony
from
Burton
himself
,
who
it
seems
was
acquainted
with
him
,
and
who
had
fled
from
his
Neighbourhood
,
by
the
space
of
two
years
almost
,
and
yet
he
receives
this
Burton
into
his
house
:
I
will
not
say
at
the
first
time
that
he
came
into
his
house
,
it
doth
appear
by
any
Evidence
,
that
he
knew
him
to
have
been
in
the
Rebellion
in
the
West
,
but
when
he
came
thither
upon
Friday
,
he
was
so
kind
to
him
as
to
leave
his
own
Chamber
,
and
to
let
him
have
that
for
his
Lodging
,
although
now
he
gives
you
another
excuse
plainly
frivolous
and
false
,
that
is
,
a
pretence
of
making
way
for
his
Wife
to
lie-in
,
who
yet
is
not
delivered
.
He
lies
there
upon
Saturday-night
,
and
dines
with
him
upon
Sunday
.
Saturday
perhaps
might
be
a
busie
day
,
and
there
is
no
Testimony
at
all
given
by
any
Evidence
of
any
Discourse
that
was
between
them
upon
that
day
,
but
upon
Sunday
,
when
they
Dined
together
,
Burton
swears
,
that
he
did
tell
him
that
he
had
been
in
the
West
in
the
Rebellion
there
,
and
he
came
thither
for
shelter
:
This
man
being
acquainted
with
this
,
allowed
him
to
dine
with
him
,
and
harboured
him
in
his
House
for
the
space
of
Seven
or
Eight
hours
more
,
without
bringing
him
before
any
Justice
of
Peace
,
or
any
Magistrate
who
had
Authority
to
commit
him
,
although
he
had
a
particular
Authority
of
his
own
(
as
he
was
a
Constable
)
for
the
conservation
of
the
Peace
,
yet
he
forgets
his
Oath
as
well
as
his
Duty
and
Allegiance
,
and
suffers
him
still
to
remain
there
.
It
is
true
the
Wife
of
Burton
dined
with
them
,
as
Burton
himself
says
,
and
the
Woman
confesses
,
but
she
was
so
busie
at
her
Victuals
,
that
she
can
remember
nothing
,
she
did
not
hear
that
there
was
any
Discourse
concerning
Monmouth
.
But
lest
you
should
want
another
Witness
,
for
Burton
is
but
one
Witness
to
that
particular
,
you
have
him
plainly
confessing
it
himself
,
which
is
above
a
Thousand
Witnesses
,
you
have
him
confessing
that
Burton
did
acknowledg
he
had
been
in
the
West
,
and
that
Monmouth
was
Routed
,
and
yet
he
continues
him
in
his
house
,
nay
more
,
this
man
doth
appear
to
be
a
Person
in
whom
there
was
that
gr●at
Confidence
,
that
another
Person
,
Gaunt
came
,
and
he
bids
him
come
into
his
house
,
and
there
he
discourst
of
some
Traytors
,
and
the
means
of
conveying
them
away
,
that
they
should
not
suffer
for
their
Treason
,
and
discoursed
likewise
of
conveying
away
Burton
,
though
he
had
confessed
it
himself
.
Gentlemen
,
what
he
tells
you
,
is
,
that
he
did
mean
to
discover
,
when
did
he
intend
to
discover
?
he
did
not
discover
to
any
Body
,
before
the
man
was
apprehended
by
an
Officer
:
he
lets
Gaunt
,
who
plainly
appears
to
be
as
arrant
a
Traytor
as
could
he
in
the
World
,
to
go
away
meerly
upon
his
own
Parole
,
without
taking
any
course
to
apprehend
him
.
He
pretends
he
is
a
poor
man
,
and
he
might
have
gain'd
100
l.
if
he
had
discover'd
him
,
and
surely
he
would
have
discover'd
him
,
to
gain
100
l.
but
this
is
a
strong
Argument
,
that
he
was
deep
in
the
Rebellion
himself
,
and
one
in
great
esteem
with
them
,
that
being
a
poor
man
,
he
would
not
do
his
Duty
,
for
which
he
might
have
had
a
reward
of
100
l.
but
suffers
him
to
escape
.
This
is
the
Case
,
Gentlemen
,
that
is
before
you
,
if
you
believe
he
did
knowingly
,
as
he
himself
upon
the
matter
doth
confess
,
give
any
comfort
or
relief
to
Burton
,
knowing
him
to
be
a
Rebel
,
you
ought
to
find
him
guilty
.
Then
the
Jury
withdrew
to
consider
the
Evidence

a

at

well
knowing

,
together
with

afterwards

the

day
of

in

within

the
said
James

,
in

of
a
person
to
the
Jurors
unknown
,
knowingly
,
secretly
,
wickedly
,
devilishly

unto

Clerk
.
How
saist
thou
,
art
thou
guilty
or
not
guilty
?
Mrs.
Gaunt
.
I
desire
to
have
more
time
to
consider
of
it
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
You
know
whether
you
be
guilty
of
this
offence
;
what
need
you
have
any
time
of
consideration
for
that
?
Mrs.
Gaunt
.
I
don't
know
,
Sir
;
I
am
ignorant
in
the
Law
,
and
in
things
of
that
nature
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
But
this
is
not
matter
of
Law
;
it
is
,
whether
you
did
receive
these
Traytors
or
no
knowingly
;
this
James
Burton
,
knowing
him
to
have
committed
Treason
:
Can't
you
tell
whether
you
did
or
no
?
Mrs.
Gaunt
.
Not
guilty
.
Clerk
.
How
wilt
thou
be
try'd
?
Mrs.
Gaunt
.
By
God
and
my
Countrey
?
Clerk
.
God
send
thee
a
good
deliverance
.
Then
the
Middlesex
-
Jury
returning
,
Mrs.
Gaunt
was
set
aside
,
and
Ring
and
Fernley
brought
to
the
Bar
,
who
were
both
brought
in
guilty
by
the
Jury
.
Clerk
.
Set
Henry
Cornish
to
the
Bar
,
and
Eliz.
Gaunt
,
(
which
was
done
.
)
—
You
the
Prisoners
at
the
Bar
,
these
men
that
have
been
now
called
,
and
here
appear
,
are
to
pass
between
our
Sovereign
Lord
the
King
and
You
,
upon
your
several
Lives
or
Deaths
:
If
you
challenge
any
of
them
,
you
must
speak
as
they
come
to
the
Book
to
be
sworn
,
before
they
are
sworn
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
must
humbly
beg
leave
of
your
Lordship
and
this
honorable
Court
,
that
I
may
renew
my
request
.
The
time
of
notice
given
me
for
my
Trial
being
so
short
,
it
hath
no
precedent
,
I
think
:
I
humbly
pray
your
Lordship
I
may
have
time
allowed
for
my
Trial
:
I
have
had
no
Councel
,
no
Pannel
,
no
help
in
the
world
;
I
had
not
Pen
,
Ink
,
nor
Paper
,
my
Lord
,
these
are
very
hard
things
.
My
Lord
,
His
Majesty
was
petitioned
last
night
by
my
Children
,
and
he
was
graciously
pleased
to
say
,
that
he
would
refer
it
to
my
Lords
the
Judges
.
I
only
pray
your
Lordships
,
that
you
would
be
pleased
to
allow
me
time
.
Though
here
is
a
grievous
Indictment
brought
against
me
,
yet
I
doubt
not
but
to
clear
my self
of
what
is
alledged
against
me
,
if
I
have
but
time
to
prepare
my self
for
it
:
therefore
I
humbly
pray
that
I
may
have
time
allotted
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
You
told
us
so
before
,
that
you
had
exhibited
a
Petition
to
the
King
,
and
that
the
King
did
refer
it
to
the
Judges
,
you
shew
us
nothing
of
that
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
can
but
only
signifie
to
your
Lordship
what
I
hear
;
my
Children
were
with
me
,
and
told
me
they
had
petitioned
the
King
,
and
His
Majesty
was
pleased
graciously
to
receive
it
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
The
King
left
you
to
the
course
of
the
Law
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
It
is
very
hard
measure
;
I
have
no
preparation
at
all
,
no
more
than
at
the
first
moment
;
but
I
bless
God
I
hope
I
shall
in
time
satisfie
you
of
my
Innocency
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
You
were
apprehended
and
seized
upon
Tuesday
last
,
this
is
almost
a
week
;
you
knew
what
you
were
charged
withal
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
did
not
know
what
I
was
charged
withal
.
I
had
no
liberty
of
Friends
to
come
to
me
;
my
Wife
at
length
obtained
leave
,
but
it
was
in
the
presence
of
Major
Richardson
;
I
had
no
Friend
with
my
Wife
,
no
Pen
,
Ink
,
nor
Paper
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Was
Pen
,
Ink
,
and
Paper
deny'd
you
?
did
you
ask
it
?
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
As
soon
as
he
petition'd
for
it
he
had
it
.
Capt.
Richardson
.
He
had
Pen
,
Ink
,
and
Paper
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
When
was
that
?
Capt.
Richardson
.
On
Saturday
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
it
was
eight
a
clock
at
night
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
would
not
have
you
think
you
are
used
otherwise
than
other
men
are
;
for
I
must
tell
you
it
is
not
usual
to
have
Pen
,
Ink
,
and
Paper
,
without
leave
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
know
it
hath
been
allowed
in
the
like
case
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
Ay
,
upon
petition
,
never
else
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
There
are
many
men
,
and
of
as
good
quality
as
you
,
tried
for
killing
men
:
does
any
body
give
them
notice
?
Is
there
any
more
necessity
of
notice
in
point
of
Treason
,
than
in
point
of
Murther
?
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
I
told
you
what
your
offence
was
,
when
you
were
committed
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
remember
in
my
Lord
Russel's
Case
,
he
had
at
least
seven
or
eight
days
allowed
him
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
It
may
be
so
;
but
it
is
not
necessary
.
Prisoners
that
are
tried
here
generally
have
no
notice
at
all
;
if
one
man
hath
a
singular
favour
,
another
man
cannot
claim
it
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
have
a
material
Witness
above
140
miles
off
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
My
Lord's
Trial
,
I
think
was
put
off
but
till
the
afternoon
:
Mr.
Cornish
.
With
submission
to
your
Lordship
,
I
think
he
had
eight
days
assign'd
him
.
But
,
my
Lord
,
I
humbly
conceive
I
have
a
Witness
that
is
very
material
in
my
Case
,
that
is
140
miles
out
of
Town
,
in
Lancashire
;
I
humbly
pray
I
may
have
time
allotted
me
to
send
for
him
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Why
did
not
you
set
forth
that
in
your
Petition
to
the
King
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
did
not
understand
the
case
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Were
not
you
committed
for
High-Treason
?
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
I
told
you
so
my self
:
I
shew'd
you
the
Commitment
;
therefore
you
can't
pretend
you
were
ignorant
of
it
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
it
did
not
mention
this
King
or
the
last
:
And
I
am
not
a
Lawyer
,
I
am
not
skill'd
in
these
things
;
I
am
very
ignorant
,
and
hope
your
Lordship
will
consider
me
;
my
Innocence
will
appear
as
bright
as
any
mans
that
ever
stood
at
this
Bar.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
I
don't
believe
you
want
that
Evidence
140
miles
off
:
Is
he
the
only
man
that
can
make
your
Innocence
appear
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
by
what
I
apprehend
he
will
be
the
most
material
Witness
I
have
.
My
Lord
,
I
shall
desire
nothing
but
with
submission
to
your
Lordship
and
the
Bench
;
but
I
humbly
conceive
it
is
very
reasonable
I
should
have
time
,
and
I
humbly
pray
your
Lordship
to
consider
it
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Mr.
Attorney
,
have
you
any
directions
?
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
No
,
my
Lord
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
do
not
doubt
,
If
I
might
have
a
little
time
,
to
make
my
defence
.
Just.
Withins
.
You
should
have
applied
your self
to
the
King
,
it
does
not
lie
in
our
power
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
humbly
pray
you
to
consider
my
case
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
Mr.
Bridgman
here
on
the
Bench
says
,
there
was
a
Petition
before
the
King
for
putting
it
off
,
and
the
King
absolutely
refus'd
it
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
We
have
nothing
to
do
,
Sir
;
we
are
here
by
Commission
to
try
you
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
have
been
denied
a
copy
of
the
Pannel
,
I
hope
that
is
reasonable
,
I
must
desire
a
copy
of
the
Pannel
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
That
is
none
of
your
right
,
Mr.
Cornish
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
Mr.
Attorney
with
submission
,
I
hope
I
ought
to
have
it
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen
:
No
you
ought
not
to
have
it
,
You
have
your
peremptory
challenges
,
you
may
challenge
35
without
cause
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
You
shall
have
a
copy
of
the
Pannel
here
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Yes
,
here
he
may
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
It
is
a
very
hard
case
,
when
I
have
a
material
Witness
so
far
out
of
Town
,
that
I
can't
have
a
little
time
allotted
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Can't
every
man
that
comes
here
to
be
tried
say
the
very
same
thing
,
that
he
hath
a
material
Witness
in
France
,
Spain
;
or
any
where
else
,
and
that
when
that
Witness
comes
his
Innocence
will
be
as
clear
as
the
Sun
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
my
Witness
is
in
Lancashire
,
I
cannot
help
it
:
I
beseech
your
Lordship
to
consider
me
:
I
am
apt
to
believe
that
he
would
so
much
vindicate
my
reputation
in
this
matter
,
that
it
would
be
a
very
great
satisfaction
to
your
Lordships
;
and
I
am
sure
you
are
not
for
oppressing
any
man
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
No
,
Sir
,
that
we
are
not
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
am
sure
you
are
for
the
just
vindication
of
the
Government
,
for
executing
of
Justice
,
and
I
will
desire
no
other
than
that
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Mr.
Attorney
,
if
you
pray
he
may
be
tried
,
we
can't
deny
it
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
cannot
defer
it
,
I
have
no
authority
;
and
why
you
should
be
in
another
condition
than
other
Prisoners
,
I
don't
know
;
you
have
not
deserved
so
well
of
the
Government
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
have
not
the
names
of
the
Wards
where
these
men
live
,
and
their
Trades
.
Mr.
North.
He
hath
a
copy
of
the
Pannel
,
and
that
is
sufficient
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
You
may
ask
them
where
they
live
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
hope
I
may
have
Pen
and
Ink
,
my
Lord
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Ay
,
ay
.
Then
the
Jury

Mr.

Clerk

Elizabeth

hold
up

she
did

You
of

look
upon
the

and
hearken
to
her
Cause
:
She
stands
indicted
by
the
name
of

as
befo●e
in
the
Indictment

)
Upon
this
Indictment
she
hath
been
arraigned

and
thereunto
pleaded
not
guilty
,
and
for
her
Trial
hath
put
her self
upon
her
Countrey

which
Countrey
you
are

Your
Charge
is

to
enquire
whether

of
this
High-Treason
whereof
she
stands

or
not

If

Councel

Mr.

.
May
it
please
your
Lordship
,
and
you
Gentlemen
that
are
sworn
,
Elizabeth
Gaunt
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
stands
indicted
,
for
that
she
knowing
James
Burton
,
together
with
other
Traitors
,
traiterously
to
have
conspired
the
death
of
the
late
King
,
and
to
raise
Rebellion
in
this
Kingdom
,
did
harbour
the
said
James
Burton
,
and
gave
him
5
l.
in
money
.
Mr
Att.
Gen.
May
it
please
your
Lordship
,
and
you
Gentlemen
that
are
sworn
,
the
Prisoner
stands
indicted
for
harbouring
of
Burton
,
who
was
a
great
Traitor
,
and
for
procuring
a
way
for
his
escape
beyond
sea
,
and
also
for
giving
him
5
l.
to
bear
his
charges
.
In
the
former
Trial
you
had
an
account
of
her
Husband
,
and
in
this
you
will
hear
she
and
her
Husband
were
the
great
Brokers
for
carrying
over
such
Traitors
,
as
my
Lord
Shaftsbury
and
others
;
these
have
taken
care
to
convey
them
over
at
all
times

We
will
produce
our
Witnesses

Call
Burton
and
his
Wife
.
Mr.
Burton
sworn

Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Do
you
know
Mrs.
Gaunt
?
Mr.
Burton
.
Yes
,
Sir

Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
give
my
Lord
and
the
Jury
an
account
how
she
harbour'd
you
,
and
all
the
passages
that
past
between
you
and
Mrs.
Gaunt

Pray
tell
first
whether
you
were
engag'd
in
the
matter
of
the
Rye

Mr.
Burton

How
I
came
concerned
I
will
tell
you
,
if
it
please
you

Speak
Mr.
Burton
.
The
first
time
I
knew
any
thing
of
it
,
Mr.
Keeling
came
to
me
one
Saturday-morning
,
and
asked
me
if
I
was
to
go
to
London
:
I
said
,
Yes
,
I
was
to
go
to
the
Exchange
;
and
he
desir'd
me
to
meet
him
at
the
Mitre-Tavern
within
Aldgate
,
and
ask
for
Number
Five
.
I
came
at
the
time
,
and
no
body
being
there
,
I
was
going
away
,
and
met
with
a
Countrey-man
with
a
stick
in
his
hand
,
that
had
but
one
eye
;
he
came
and
ask'd
for
the
same
Number
:
So
the
Gentleman
sent
his
Boy
after
me
,
and
told
me
one
stay'd
for
me
:
When
I
came
,
he
ask'd
me
if
I
ask'd
for
Number
Five
;
and
I
said
,
Yes
.
By
whose
appointment
?
By
Josiah
Keeling's
,
said
I.
So
he
ask'd
the
man
of
the
house
to
shew
a
Room
:
He
shew'd
a
Box
,
but
he
would
have
a
Room
,
and
went
up
stairs
,
and
call'd
for
Pipes
and
a
Candle
,
and
a
pint
of
Wine
.
In
a
little
while
Keeling
came
in
,
and
brought
Barber
and
Thompson
,
and
no
body
spake
almost
any
thing
but
Rumbold
,
(
that
was
Rumbold
with
one
eye
,
for
Keeling
when
he
came
in
call'd
him
Capt.
Rumbold
)
and
Rumbold
talk'd
about
Priviledges
and
such
things
at
first
and
he
said
his
house
was
a
convenient
house
,
and
there
they
might
do
the
business
:
but
before
they
had
done
,
I
found
they
design'd
to
kill
the
King
,
but
nothing
troubled
him
but
killing
the
Postillion
,
to
kill
a
man
in
cold
blood
.
But
then
says
we
,
If
you
are
for
killing
,
we
have
done
,
and
so
broke
up
;
that
was
the
end
of
that
.
A
while
after
Mr.
Keeling
went
in
,
and
made
a
Discovery
:
I
never
came
among
them
afterwards
So
,
after
Mr.
Keeling
had
discovered
,
I
was
in
the
Proclamation
for
being
there
at
that
meeting
,
and
absconded
my self
,
and
lay
hid
.
A
matter
of
two
months
after
,
Mrs.
Gaunt
came
to
enquire
of
my
Wife
where
I
was
,
to
speak
with
me
;
she
brought
her
to
me
.
She
told
me
there
were
some
persons
about
to
make
an
escape
,
and
would
have
me
go
along
with
them
.
I
told
her
,
with
all
my
heart
?
So
I
ask'd
her
which
way
and
how
they
intended
to
go
:
She
told
me
they
had
provided
Horses
to
ride
down
to
Rochford-Hundred
,
and
there
was
a
Vessel
to
carry
them
over
;
and
,
says
she
,
be
ready
by
such
an
evening
,
and
I
will
call
for
you
.
Accordingly
she
did
,
&
had
me
into
Bishopsgate-street
,
and
in
Half-moon-Alley
in
a
little
Brew
house
up
stairs
in
a
Chamber
there
were
both
the
Rumbolds
,
one
of
them
did
not
go
,
and
the
other
and
I
lay
there
all
night
,
and
in
the
morning
a
man
came
and
called
us
away
,
and
we
went
to
White-Chappel
to
take
Horse
,
to
ride
down
to
Rochford-Hundred
,
and
staid
for
the
Vessel
two
days
;
and
when
we
met
the
Vessel
,
it
was
a
small
Vessel
,
and
bad
weather
,
and
the
Master
of
the
Vessel
had
but
one
hand
,
and
two
Boys
,
one
a
very
little
one
;
and
we
went
down
the
Creek
,
and
I
asked
the
man
where
he
did
intend
to
land
us
;
and
he
told
us
at
Ostend
.
Said
I
,
I
understood
we
were
to
go
for
Holland
to
the
Brill
.
Says
he
,
My
Vessel
is
only
able
to
go
to
Ostend
or
Dunkirk
,
either
of
them
.
Says
Rumbold
,
I
don't
understand
the
Sea
.
Says
I
,
This
is
a
very
small
Vessel
,
and
leaky
,
and
the
man
not
able
to
manage
it
.
Says
I
,
I
will
go
back
again
to
London
.
Says
he
,
I
will
do
as
you
do
;
and
we
both
parted
at
London
,
and
I
never
saw
him
afterwards
till
I
saw
him
at
Amsterdam
.
I
lay
by
a
great
many
months
after
;
then
Mrs.
Gaunt
came
to
me
again
,
and
told
me
there
was
two
other
persons
going
,
and
I
might
have
a
passage
if
I
would
go
:
So
she
bid
me
be
ready
by
such
an
evening
,
and
I
was
ready
,
and
a
Boat
being
ready
at
the
water-side
,
carried
me
to
Gravesend
,
where
I
went
in
a
Vessel
to
Amsterdam
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Where
were
you
?
Mr.
Burton
.
I
was
with
my
Wife
at
my
Daughters
:
I
had
a
Daughter
married
,
her
Husband
was
drown'd
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
How
came
Mrs
Gaunt
to
take
so
much
care
of
you
?
give
the
Court
an
account
.
Mr.
Burton
.
She
might
think
I
knew
something
of
her
Husband
if
I
should
be
taken
;
I
suppose
that
might
be
the
chief
thing
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
had
her
Husband
done
?
Mr.
Burton
.
Her
Husband
,
I
suppose
,
knew
something
of
the
business
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
business
?
Mr.
Burton
.
About
seizing
the
Tower
:
He
came
to
me
,
and
would
have
had
me
gone
with
him
with
Capt.
Walcot
to
the
Tower
,
to
see
what
force
there
was
of
Soldiers
;
and
Capt.
Walcot
said
he
had
a
design
to
take
an
house
over
against
the
Tower
,
to
put
in
some
men
there
to
break
in
upon
the
Tower
,
and
Gaunt
was
with
him
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
What
discourse
had
you
with
her
about
the
Plot
?
Mr.
Burton
.
Nothing
with
her
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
was
it
she
would
help
you
away
for
?
Mr.
Burton
.
I
suppose
this
was
the
reason
,
because
she
knew
I
knew
her
Husband
was
concern'd
.
Mr.
North.
Did
she
assist
you
with
any
money
?
Mr.
Burton
.
Yes
.
Mr.
North.
How
much
?
Mr.
Burton
.
She
gave
me
a
parcel
of
money
just
as
I
was
going
away
;
I
put
it
among
other
money
.
Mr.
North.
How
much
?
30
or
40
s.
?
Mr.
Burton
.
More
than
that
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Were
you
gone
from
your
own
house
when
this
woman
came
to
you
?
Mr.
Burton
.
My
own
house
was
broke
up
a
great
while
before
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Did
you
appear
publickly
when
she
came
to
you
?
Mr.
Burton
.
No
,
an
't
please
you
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Had
there
been
any
search
for
you
before
?
Mr.
Burton
.
Yes
.
Mr.
North.
You
were
in
the

at
this
time

Mr.
Burton
.
Yes

an
't

you
,
Sir
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Did
she
carry
you
to
Rumbold
?
Mr.
Burton
.
Yes
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Was
there
any
discourse
between
Rumbold
and
her
?
Mr.
Burton
.
No.
There
was
an
elderly
man
in
the
house
,
I
did
not
know
him
,
carried
me
up
to
Rumbold
;
there
was
both
of
them
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
What
money
had
you
of
her
?
Mr.
Burton
.
I
believe
about
5
l.
I
told
her
I
had
lain
a
great
while
,
and
money
was
very
bare
with
me
;
and
she
told
me
she
would
get
me
a
little
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen
Did
she
know
what
you
were
conceal'd
for
?
Mr.
Burton
.
Every
body
knew
that
,
because
I
was
in
the
Proclamation
.
Mr.
North.
What
directions
did
she
give
you
how
you
should
behave
your self
when
she
wen●
with
you
to
Bishopsgate-street
?
how
did
she
say
you
must
carry
your self
?
Mr.
Burton
.
Nothing
there
,
she
gave
no
order
about
that
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Did
she
tell
you
you
were
concern'd
in
the
Plot
with
her
Husband
?
Mr.

She
did
not
tell
me
so
,
Sir
.
L.
C.J.
Jones
.
Did
you
tell

Husband
?
Mr.

,
I
did
not
tell
her
so
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Who
were
the
two
men
that
were
prepared
to
go
with
you
that
time
.
Mr.
Burton
,
One
Patchil
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
He
was
kill'd
in
the
Fight
.
Was
Patchil
in
the
Fight
?
Mr.
Burton
,
Yes
,
an
't
please
you
,
he
was
killed
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
And
who
was
the
other
?
Mr.
Burton
;
T'other
was
a
man
lived
in
Southwark
;
I
never
saw
him
before
.
Mr.
Com.
Serj.
What
directions
did
she
give
you
about
your
own
name
,
or
any
others
when
you
went
in
the
Boat
?
Mr.
Burton
,
If
I
knew
any
body
,
that
I
should
not
take
notice
I
knew
them
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
You
were
not
to
take
any
acquaintance
of
any
body
in
the
Boat
?
Mr.
Just.
Withins
,
Heark
,
you
Sir
,
you
looked
upon
all
those
to
be
engaged
in
the
Plot.
All
that
she
endeavoured
to
save
were
of
the
same
level
?
Mr.
Burton
,
Rumbold
was
;
Rumbold
was
in
the
Proclamation
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Did
she
tell
you
,
that
you
were
in
the
Proclamation
?
Mr.
Burton
,
No
,
an
't
please
your
Lordship
,
she
did
not
tell
me
so
.
Mr.
North
,
Did
she
never
discourse
of
your
being
in
the
Proclamation
?
Mr.
Burton
,
No
,
not
as
I
remember
;
it
was
a
general
thing
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
,
But
why
should
she
come
to
you
to
transport
you
,
if
it
were
not
for
such
a
thing
?
Mr.
Burton
,
Her
husband
was
with
me
about
going
to
the
Tower
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Burton
,
pray
thus
,
when
you
came
from
the
West
,
what
overtures
were
to
help
you
here
from
her
or
her
husband
?
Mr.
Burton
,
Her
husband
was
with
me
at
Fernley's
house
,
and
he
told
me
there
were
two
or
three
persons
to
go
in
two
or
three
daies
,
and
I
should
go
along
with
them
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
You
named
your

her

Mr.

Then

Do

?
Mary

Yes

Then
give

coming
to
you
about
your

.
Mary
Gilbert
,
She
came
to
our
house
that
night
my
Father
went
away
.
I
never
heard
a
word
of
the
discourse
that
past
,
for
I
alwaies
went
out
of
the
way
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
,
Why
did
you
go
out
of
the
way
?
Mary
Gilbert
,
Because
they
were
not
willing
I
should
hear
the
discourse
.
Mr.
Com.
Serj.
You
are
upon
your
Oath
,
Mistress

met
my

my

I
were
to

met
them

for
fear
my
husband
should
know
any
thing
against
her
Husband
;
but
I
never
said
so
,
for
I
was
glad
my
husband
should
be
helped
away
,
willing
to
save
his
life
,
for
I
knew
it
was
death
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
,
And
you
took
that
to
be
the
meaning
of
it
in
reference
to
the
Proclamation
.
Mr.
At
Gen.
How
far
did
you
live
from
her
?
Mrs.
Burton
,
Formerly
we
dwelt
pretty
near
one
another
,
when
Mr.
Gaunt
kept
a
Tallow
Chandlers
Shop
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Woman
,
do
you
verily
believe
she
knew
your
husband
was
in
the
Proclamation
?
Mr.
Just.
Did
you
never
see
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
at
any
time
in
Holland
?
Mrs.
Burton
,
No
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Nor
her
husband
?
Mr.
Burton
,
Nor
her
husband
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
I
ask
you
at
this
time
when
your
husband
went
away
,
and
his
house
was
searched
,
how
far
did
she
live
from
you
then
?
Mrs.
Burton
,
She
had
but
Lodgings
,
I
don't
know
where
her
Dwelling-house
was
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Where
were
her
Lodgings
?
Mrs.
Burton
,
At
the
upper
end
of
Old-Gravel-Lane
,
and
my
Daughter
in
the
middle
of
Gravel-Lane
,
in
Worster-street
,
as
far
as
it
may
be
to
Newgate
,
thereabouts
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Was
it
taken
notice
of
all
over
the
Street
that
the
House
was
searched
and
your
Husband
gone
?
Was
that
taken
notice
of
in
the
Neighbourhood
?
Mrs.
Burton
,
Yes
,
yes
.
Councel
,
Between
the
time
your
Husband
went
first
away
,
and
the
time
she
came
to
take
care
of
him
,
had
you
no
discourse
about
the
reason
of
his
going
away
,
nor
of
the
Proclamation
?
Mrs.
Burton
,
No.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
What
say
you
,
Woman
,
to
this
evidence
,
several
Witnesses
say
you
were
very
busie
in
contriving
the
escape
of
Burton
,
what
was
the
reason
why
you
would
send
him
away
?
Mrs.
Gaunt
,
I
did
not
contrive
to
send
him
away
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
The
Woman
says
so
,
Burton
says
so
,
the
Daughter
says
the
same
.
Mrs.
Gaunt
.
Where
Sir
?
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
At
Bishops-gate
or
Hounsditch
.
Mrs.
Gaunt
,
I
deny
it
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
And
you
gave
him
Money
afterwards
.
Mrs
Gaunt
,
Who
saw
me
give
it
him
?
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
He
swears
it
.
Mrs.
Gaunt
,
He
was
the
more
beholding
to
me
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Did
you
or
did
you
not
?
Capt.
Richardson
,
She
saies
she
is
not
come
here
to
tell
your
Lordship
what
she
did
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Woman
,
did
not
you
hear
that
Burton's
name
was
in
the
Proclamation
about
Rumbold's
Plot
?
Mrs.
Gaunt
,
It
is
like
I
might
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
You
might
hear
it
.
Mrs.
Gaunt
,
Yes
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
And
yet
you
would
by
all
means
help
him
to
escape
?
Mrs.
Gaunt
,
I
can
say
nothing
against
it
if
they
swear
it
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Do
you
know
what
you
are
charged
withal
?
you
are
accused
for
relieving
and
comforting
Burton
,
whom
you
knew
to
have
committed
Treason
.
Mrs.
Gaunt
,
My
Lord
,
he
saies
so
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
And
for
helping
him
to
escape
,
and
giving
him
money
in
order
to
it
.
Mrs.
Gaunt
,
He
saies
so
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
He
swears
so
;
what
do
you
say
?
Mrs.
Gaunt
,
Is
that
sufficient
?
Mr.
Justice
,
Ay
and
another
swears
it
,
that
is
sufficient
.
Mrs.
Gaunt
,
I
have
not
heard
any
body
else
swear
it
.
Mr.
Justice
,
Yes
,
his
Wife
.
Mrs.
Gaunt
,
Not
about
the
money
.
Mr.
Justice
,
You
came
and
sollicited
him
to
go
several
times
.
Mrs.
Gaunt
,
It
is
very
untrue
,
my
Lord
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Did
you
know
his
house
had
been
searched
to
find
him
?
Mrs.
Gaunt
,
I
did
not
know
it
a
great
while
,
since
I
might
know
.
Here
Burton'
s
Pardon
was
produced
again
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
,
It
is
a
Pardon
for
Burton
,
now
he
is
a
good
Witness
,
Gentlemen
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Have
you
any
more
,
Woman
,
to
say
for
your self
?
if
you
can
,
tell
us
any
other
cause
than
that
he
was
guilty
of
Treason
wherein
your
Husband
was
concerned
.
Mrs.
Gaunt
,
No
,
I
deny
that
,
that
I
knew
my
Husband
was
concerned
in
any
thing
of
that
kind
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Wherefore
then
would
you
take
so
much
care
to
send
him
away
.
Mrs.
Gaunt
,
I
don't
tell
you
,
my
Lord
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
You
don't
tell
us
,
but
the
Witnesses
have
swore
it
.
Mrs.
Gaunt
,
I
must
leave
it
to
them
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Gentlemen
of
the
Jury
,
this
Woman
stands
Indicted
for
High
Treason
for
concealing
,
comforting
and
relieving
one
James
Burton
,
a
person
that
had
committed
High
Treason
;
and
for
endeavouring
that
he
might
make
his
escape
,
and
giving
him
5
l.
in
money
.
Gentlemen
,
the
evidence
that
is
given
is
by
Burton
,
his
Wife
and
his
Daughter
.
Burton
saies
that
this
Woman
was
very
solicitous
several
times
to
help
to
send
him
beyond
Sea
.
He
does
tell
you
,
that
when
there
was
a
Plot
against
the
life
of
the
King
,
wherein
Rumbold
was
concerned
,
and
one
of
the
chief
Actors
,
that
he
himself
was
present
at
one
of
the
Consultations
concerning
it
,
and
that
afterwards
be
did
withdraw
himself
from
the
Company
,
as
he
saies
;
but
he
saies
,
that
this
Womans
Husband
being
likewise
concerned
in
the
Plot
,
and
this
woman
,
as
he
believes
,
knowing
that
he
was
able
to
make
some
Discovery
concerning
her
Husband
,
and
knowing
also
his
danger
in
respect
of
his
own
guilt
,
she
endeavours
to
send
him
away
first
to
Rochford
,
and
so
to
go
beyond
Sea
.
And
afterwards
in
another
place
in
Houndsditch
,
and
from
thence
he
was
to
be
conveyed
beyond
Sea
.
It
is
true
,
there
is
no
direct
proof
that
there
was
any
particular
mention
that
Burton
was
in
the
Proclamation
for
that
Treason
,
but
the
woman
saies
,
and
Burton
himself
saies
,
that
they
do
both
verily
believe
that
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
did
know
he
was
in
the
Proclamation
,
and
therefore
there
was
no
particular
discourse
concerning
it
;
and
she
her self
being
examined
,
saies
,
she
might
hear
that
his
name
was
in
the
Proclamation
,
and
she
might
hear
that
his
house
was
searched
,
and
that
he
could
not
be
found
;
and
yet
notwithstanding
all
this
,
she
endeavours
to
conceal
him
.
What
can
be
the
meaning
of
all
this
,
in
this
woman
,
but
that
she
was
very
zealous
to
maintain
the
Conspiracy
,
and
was
a
great
Assistant
to
all
persons
that
were
concerned
in
it
.
She
will
not
tell
you
any
other
cause
wherefore
she
should
be
concerned
to
convey
this
man
beyond
Sea
,
and
therefore
in
all
reason
you
ought
to
conceive
it
was
for
this
;
it
was
a
known
cause
,
made
known
to
all
people
by
the
Kings
Proclamation
.
If
you
believe
she
did
know
or
believe
Burton
to
have
been
guilty
of
that
Treason
,
and
that
she
did
help
to
convey
him
away
,
as
the
Witnesses
have
proved
that
she
did
,
by
giving
him
money
,
and
soliciting
him
several
times
to
be
then
you
ought
to
find
her
guilty
.
Then
the
Jury
desiring
to
ask
a
question
,
Burton
was
called
again
,
but
being
gone
out
of
Court
was
sent
for
,
and
Mr.
Cornish
was
set
to
the
Bar.
Clerk
,
Henry
Cornish
,
Hold
up
thy
hand
;
you
of
the
Jury
,
look
upon
the
Prisoner
and
hearken
to
his
Cause

he
stands
Indicted
by
the
name
of
Henry
Cornish
,

of
St.
Michael
Bassishaw
,
in
the
Ward
of
Bassishaw
,
London
,
Merchant
,
&c.
as
before
in
the
Indictment
.
Upon
this
Indictment
he
hath
been
Arraign'd
,
and
thereunto
pleaded
Not
Guilty
,
&c.
Counsel
,
Mr.
Phips
,
May
it
please
your
Lordship
,
and
you
Gentlemen
that
are
sworn
,
Henry
Cornish
,
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
stands
Indicted
,
for
that
he
knowing
that
the
late
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
William
Russel
,
Esq
;
the
late
Lord
Gray
,
and
other
Traitors
,
had
conspired
the
Death
of
the
late
King
,
and
to
raise
Rebellion
in
this
Kingdom
,
did
promise
to
aid
and
assist
them
in
compassing
this
wicked
imagination
,
against
the
duty
of
his
Allegiance
,
&c.
to
this
he
hath
pleaded
Not
Guilty
,
&c.
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
am
innocent
of
the
whole
matter
.
Officer
,
Burton
is
come
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Let
us
make
an
end
of
that
first
.
In
the
Evidence
that
you
gave
against
Elizabeth
Gaunt
,
you
said
that
you
did
receive
money
from
her
,
5
l.
or
some
such
sum
.
Mr.
Burton
,
Yes
,
an
't
please
your
Lordship
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Did
she
owe
you
any
money
?
Mr.
Burton
,
No
,
my
Lord
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Upon
what
accompt
was
it
you
received
that
money
?
Mr.
Burton
,
She
gave
it
me
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Upon
what
accompt
was
it
?
To
assist
you
in
your
Escape
?
Mr.
Burton
,
She
knew
I
was
bare
of
money
,
and
gave
it
me
of
her
free
will
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
And
it
was
at
that
time
you
went
away
?
Mr.
Burton
,
Yes
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
,
It
was
to
assist
you
in
your
Escape
?
Mr.
Burton
,
Yes
,
I
believe
so
.
Mr.
Com.
Serj.
Who
paid
your
Boat-hire
?
Mr.
Burton
,
I
paid
none
,
I
don't
know
,
the
Waterman
can
tell
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
May
it
please
your
Lordship
,
and
you
Gentlemen
of
the
Jury
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
stands
Indicted
for
contriving
the
Death
of
the
late
King
,
and
for
raising
Rebellion
in
the
Kingdom
,
and
is
charged
that
he
did
consent
to
be
assisting
to
that
Rebellion
that
was
then
designed
;
it
is
not
unknown
to
you
Gentlemen
,
for
there
have
been
several
Tryals
of
that
Conspiracy
,
That
there
was
a
great
Rebellion
designed
in
England
by
the
late
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
the
Lord
Russel
,
and
Sir
Thomas
Armstrong
;
and
particularly
Gentlemen
,
there
was
a
Meeting
(
which
already
hath
appeared
in
publick
)
at
Mr.
Sheppards
House
,
where
the
Lord
Russel
,
the
late
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
Sir
Thomas
Armstrong
,
Mr.
Rumsey
,
and
the
late
Lord
Gray
,
met
to
consider
and
adjust
matters
:
At
that
Meeting
Mr.
Cornish
indeed
came
in
very
late
(
for
he
was
invited
and
knew
the
Design
then
)
he
came
in
late
,
and
so
was
not
at
the
whole
Discourse
;
but
there
was
a
Declaration
framed
to
be
put
out
when
they
should
Rise
,
and
they
did
acquaint
Mr.
Cornish
with
it
,
and
they
read
it
to
Mr.
Cornish
,
and
Mr.
Cornish
did
like
it
very
well
,
and
promised
he
would
be
assisting
,
as
we
will
prove
to
you
Gentlemen
.
Another
Instance
of
Mr.
Cornish's
Rebellion
,
for
I
need
not
tell
you
what
part
he
acted
when
he
was
Sheriff
,
and
maintained
that
;
that
was
the
ground
work
of
the
Rebellion
,
setting
the
Commonalty
against
the
Government
of
the
City
.
Another
Instance
we
will
give
you
is
,
his
Under-Sheriff
that
was
employed
to
divide
the
City
,
and
to
raise
men
within
the
City
,
having
discourse
with
Mr.
Cornish
about
settling
that
matter
,
he
liked
it
very
well
,
and
promised
he
would
be
assisting
to
him
,
and
you
may
easily
presume
Mr.
Goodenough
the
Under-Sheriff
was
very
privy
to
all
the
acts
of
Mr.
Cornish
at
that
time
.
We
will
call
our
Witnesses
.
Mr.
Rumsey
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
desire
the
Witnesses
may
be
kept
apart
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
They
are
so
two
times
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
You
will
find
me
guilty
of
neither
;
I
am
as
innocent
as
any
person
in
this
Court
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
So
was
my
Lo●d
Russel
to
his
death
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
do
you
remember
that
?
Mr.
Cornish
,
Mr.
Attorney
General
,
I
speak
in
the
presence
of
the
great
God
,
I
am
as
innocent
as
any
man
in
this
Court
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Mr.
Rumsey
,
pray
will
you
give
my
Lord
and
the
Jury
an
Account
of
the
Insurrection
that
was
to
have
been
in
England
,
in
the
late
King's
time
,
and
what
concern
the
Prisoner
had
in
that
affair
.
Mr.
Rumsey
,
My
Lord
,
about
the
later
end
of
October
,
or
the
beginning
of
November
,
my
Lord
Shaftsbury
desired
me
to
go
to
Mr.
Sheppard's
house
,
where
there
was
a
Meeting
of
those
Gentlemen
that
I
did
name
before
,
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
my
Lord
Russel
,
my
Lord
Gray
,
Sir
Thomas
Armstrong
,
and
Mr.
Ferguson
,
and
Mr.
Sheppard
,
and
accordingly
I
went
;
I
came
late
there
my self
,
for
they
were
just
going
away
,
when
I
came
in
;
I
told
them
my
message
,
and
they
told
me
they
were
disappointed
by
Mr.
Trenchard
.
I
had
not
been
there
a
quarter
of
an
hour
,
but
we
were
going
away
,
and
Mr.
Sheppard
was
call'd
for
by
his
man
,
and
he
went
down
stairs
and
brought
up
Mr.
Cornish
;
and
when
he
came
into
the
Room
,
he
told
the
Gentlemen
there
met
,
that
Mr.
Alderman
Cornish
was
come
;
so
as
soon
as
Mr.
Alderman
Cornish
came
into
the
Room
,
he
made
his
excuse
to
the
Gentlemen
that
he
did
not
come
sooner
,
and
that
he
could
not
stay
with
them
;
the
reason
why
he
could
not
stay
with
them
,
he
told
them
,
was
,
that
they
were
to
meet
that
night
about
their
Charter
,
and
there
was
never
another
Alderman
in
Town
but
himself
,
and
therefore
he
could
not
stay
,
there
was
a
necessity
of
an
Alderman
to
be
there
.
And
upon
that
Mr.
Ferguson
opened
his
bosom
,
and
from
under
his
Stomacher
pull'd
out
a
Paper
;
they
told
him
,
they
had
that
Paper
read
,
and
desired
to
read
it
to
him
:
Mr.
Ferguson
read
it
,
and
Mr.
Sheppard
held
the
Candle
all
the
while
that
it
was
reading
;
and
after
they
had
read
it
,
they
asked
him
how
he
liked
it
,
and
he
did
say
he
liked
it
very
well
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
What
were
the
Contents
of
that
Paper
?
Mr.
Rumsey
,
The
first
part
of
it
was
complaining
of
the
misgovernment
of
the
late
King
;
there
were
two
Points
in
it
that
I
do
remember
very
well
,
that
they
would
declare
for
:
One
was
,
Liberty
of
Conscience
;
and
t'other
was
,
That
all
those
that
would
assist
in
that
Insurrection
,
that
had
any
Lands
of
the
Church
,
or
the
Kings
,
in
the
late
War
,
should
have
them
restored
to
them
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Was
there
any
thing
in
that
Paper
that
did
engage
any
body
to
an
Insurrection
?
Mr.
Rumsey
,
I
did
not
hear
all
the
Paper
,
nor
did
I
take
great
notice
of
it
;
but
those
two
Points
were
in
it
,
to
engage
them
that
would
assist
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
What
was
the
effect
of
the
Paper
?
Mr.
Rumsey
,
It
was
to
be
a
Declaration
upon
the
Rising
,
when
the
Rising
was
to
have
been
;
this
was
to
have
been
dispersed
abroad
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Mr.
Rumsey
,
was
there
a
Rising
intended
at
that
time
?
Mr.
Rumsey
,
Yes
,
and
they
met
there
for
that
purpose
;
and
Mr.
Trenchard
was
the
man
to
manage
the
business
about
Taunton
,
and
he
disappointed
them
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
What
was
your
message
from
my
Lord
Shaftsbury
to
them
?
Mr.
Rumsey
,
It
was
to
know
what
issue
they
had
come
to
about
the
Rising
,
and
to
press
them
to
it
,
for
such
a
matter
as
that
was
not
to
be
long
kept
afoot
;
either
let
them
come
to
a
resolution
to
Rise
,
or
let
it
fall
for
good
and
all
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
After
Mr.
Cornish
had
expressed
his
liking
of
this
business
and
Declaration
,
what
followed
?
Mr.
Rumsey
,
He
did
say
,
he
liked
it
very
well
,
and
that
poor
interest
he
had
,
he
would
joine
with
it
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Speak
that
again
.
Mr.
Rumsey
,
Mr.
Cornish
did
say
,
he
did
like
the
Declaration
,
and
with
the
small
interest
he
had
,
he
would
appear
to
back
it
,
or
words
to
that
effect
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
My
Lord
,
since
he
takes
the
freedom
to
charge
me
with
these
things
,
I
never
was
at
a
Consult
in
my
daies
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
,
You
were
not
then
at
Mr.
Sheppards
that
night
?
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Will
you
deny
you
were
at
Mr.
Sheppards
that
night
?
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
do
declare
,
I
never
was
at
Mr.
Sheppards
in
any
Consult
in
my
life
,
as
he
declares
;
but
I
have
had
great
dealings
with
Mr.
Sheppard
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
You
shall
be
allowed
your
liberty
;
pray
,
Sir
,
be
not
transported
with
passion
.
I
doubt
,
before
this
time
,
notwithstanding
the
confidence
you
seem
to
have
,
there
are
few
believe
you
to
be
as
innocent
as
any
person
present
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
You
will
hear
more
from
his
Oracle
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
,
Were
you
there
when
my
Lord
Russel
was
there
?
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
was
not
there
when
my
Lord
Russel
was
there
,
as
I
remember
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Were
you
present
,
hear
,
hear
,
Sir
:
were
you
present
at
Sheppards
when
Ferguson
was
there
?
Mr.
Cornish
,
My
Lord
,
I
have
been
at
Sheppards
several
times
,
but
I
never
liked
the
man
for
his
Morals
,
and
therefore
never
liked
to
be
in
his
company
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
He
pull'd
the
Paper
out
of
his
bosom
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
It
is
as
great
an
untruth
as
ever
was
told
in
the
world
;
but
,
my
Lord
,
seeing
he
takes
this
freedom
to
charge
me
,
I
desire
to
know
whether
he
stands
here
as
a
lawful
Evidence
?
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
What
is
your
Exception
?
Mr.
Cornish
,
He
stands
charged
guilty
of
Treason
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
That
it self
does
not
disable
him
to
be
a
Witness
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
Before
he
hath
his
Pardon
,
my
Lord
?
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
I
don't
know
whether
he
hath
his
Pardon
or
not
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
There
is
no
Indictment
at
all
upon
him
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
,
If
he
were
Convicted
,
or
Out-lawed
of
Treason
,
it
were
something
;
an
innocent
man
may
be
charged
.
Mr.
Rumsey
,
My
Lord
,
Mr.
Cornish
and
I
have
been
very
well
acquainted
these
fourteen
years
or
thereabouts
,
and
have
had
great
concerns
together
;
for
during
the
time
that
I
managed
the
King's
Customs
at
Bristol
,
six
years
I
was
there
Collector
,
he
did
return
between
3
and
400000
l.
for
me
;
he
is
a
very
honest
Gentleman
,
and
I
appeal
to
himself
,
whether
I
take
delight
to
appear
here
to
accuse
him
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
But
Colonel
,
what
is
the
reason
that
you
have
not
accused
me
all
this
while
?
Mr.
Rumsey
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
hope
that
is
not
an
objection
,
I
think
I
suffer
for
it
and
not
you
;
it
was
compassion
,
and
the
same
compassion
makes
you
deny
it
to
save
others
;
if
you
would
deal
openly
,
I
make
no
doubt
,
but
you
might
partake
of
the
King's
favour
yet
,
as
well
as
I
have
done
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
do
thankfully
accept
of
His
Majesties
favour
at
all
times
,
but
I
thank
God
I
am
innocent
in
this
matter
,
and
do
not
stand
in
need
of
it
.
Mr.
Rumsey
,
And
you
say
I
accuse
you
falsely
;
then
Mr.
Cornish
,
you
don't
stand
there
nor
I
here
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Pray
,
will
you
ask
him
any
questions
?
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
But
pray
don't
enter
into
a
long
Harangue
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
My
Lord
,
I
do
humbly
conceive
,
that
he
does
not
stand
here
as
an
Evidence
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
You
have
the
judgement
of
the
Court
for
that
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
Before
he
is
pardoned
?
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
I
don't
talk
of
a
Pardon
;
what
Record
have
you
against
him
?
Mr.
At.
Gen.
You
were
present
and
heard
that
resolved
before
in
my
Lord
Russels
Case
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
My
Lord
,
Mr.
Rumsey
did
upon
his
Evidence
give
in
,
and
he
was
obliged
by
his
Oath
to
speak
the
Truth
and
the
whole
Truth
—
L.C.
J.
Jones
,
Now
you
are
making
your
Speech
,
it
is
not
your
proper
time
;
you
shall
urge
any
thing
against
Mr.
Rumseys
evidence
,
or
the
credibility
of
it
when
it
is
your
time
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
My
Lord
,
I
do
here
design
it
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Mr.
Rumsey
,
pray
recollect
;
had
you
never
any
discourse
with
him
at
other
times
?
Mr
Rumsey
,
We
have
had
a
long
acquaintance
,
fourteen
years
,
but
in
my
life
,
I
never
heard
him
speak
any
thing
before
or
since
that
,
to
my
knowledge
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Mr.
Cornish
,
will
you
ask
him
any
more
questions
?
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
desire
to
know
—
Mr.
Rumsey
,
What
would
you
know
?
Mr.
Cornish
,
Whether
did
you
and
I
discourse
of
these
matters
at
any
other
time
?
Mr.
Rumsey
,
No.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
,
You
must
not
stand
to
Dialogue
between
one
another
,
but
speak
as
we
may
hear
you
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
You
shall
argue
if
you
will
,
when
you
come
to
make
your
defence
in
the
proper
time
,
the
improbability
of
any
thing
that
he
hath
said
,
or
the
impossibility
,
or
repugnancy
to
any
truth
,
or
any
evidence
that
you
can
give
to
the
contrary
;
but
I
say
,
this
is
not
your
time
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
never
was
at
any
Consult
in
my
life
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
That
is
a
name
he
gives
it
;
was
you
never
at
a
Meeting
about
a
Rising
?
Mr.
Goodenough
Sworn
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Mr.
Goodenough
,
are
you
acquainted
with
Mr.
Cornish
?
Mr.
Goodenough
,
Yes
,
Sir
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
My
Lord
,
I
humbly
conceive
he
is
not
a
Witness
,
he
stands
Indicted
upon
an
Out-lawry
;
I
can
produce
it
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
We
do
admit
it
.
L.C.
J.
Jones
,
They
admit
your
Exception
,
and
will
answer
it
by
producing
a
Pardon
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
need
not
say
any
thing
against
him
,
he
is
known
well
enough
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
,
He
was
your
Under-Sheriff
,
Mr.
Cornish
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
Much
against
my
will
,
I
oppos'd
him
to
the
utmost
;
and
this
is
nothing
but
malice
against
me
.
Mr.
Goodenoughs
Pardon
Read
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
do
humbly
conceive
this
can't
be
done
,
but
by
a
Writ
of
Errour
,
or
an
Act
of
Parliament
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Can't
the
King
Pardon
an
Out-lawry
?
Mr.
Just.
Withins
,
That
is
no
piece
of
Law
,
I
am
sure
of
it
.
M.
A.G.
Goodenough
,
pray
what
do
you
know
of
a
Rising
intended
against
the
late
King
?
Mr.
Goodenough
,
All
that
I
have
to
give
an
accompt
of
is
a
discourse
—
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Answer
what
I
ask
;
what
do
you
know
of
a
Rising
by
others
?
Mr.
Goodenough
,
I
know
nothing
of
that
business
of
my
Lord
Russels
;
but
there
was
a
design
to
Rise
,
Sir
,
in
London
;
we
design'd
to
divide
it
into
twenty
parts
,
and
out
of
each
part
to
raise
five
hundred
men
,
if
it
might
be
done
,
to
make
an
Insurrection
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
What
were
these
men
to
do
when
they
were
Raised
?
Mr.
Goodenough
,
They
were
to
take
the
Tower
,
and
drive
the
Guards
out
of
Town
.
M.
A.
Gen.
Pray
,
acquaint
my
Lord
and
the
Jury
what
discourse
you
had
with
M.
Cornish
.
Mr.
Goodenough
,
Before
this
was
agreed
on
by
us
,
I
chanced
to
be
at
Alderman
Cornish's
;
Sir
,
said
I
,
now
the
Law
won't
defend
us
,
tho'
we
be
never
so
innocent
;
but
some
other
way
is
to
be
thought
on
;
upon
this
,
said
he
,
I
wonder
the
City
is
so
unready
,
and
the
Country
so
ready
.
I
said
to
him
again
,
Sir
,
there
is
something
thought
of
to
be
done
here
;
but
,
saies
I
,
in
the
first
place
,
the
Tower
ought
to
be
seized
,
where
the
Magazine
is
;
upon
this
he
made
a
little
pause
,
and
said
,
I
will
do
what
I
can
,
or
what
good
I
can
,
to
this
purpose
he
answered
me
;
and
about
some
time
after
,
he
met
me
upon
the
Exchange
,
and
asked
me
,
how
affairs
went
?
which
I
understood
to
be
relating
to
what
we
discours'd
;
this
is
all
that
I
can
say
.
I
never
met
after
this
,
but
only
upon
the
Exchange
,
he
asked
how
matters
went
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Was
there
any
discourse
about
seizing
the
Guards
?
Mr.
Goodenough
,
I
have
told
you
the
whole
discourse
.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Pray
,
repeat
it
.
Mr.
Goodenough
,
I
told
him
,
saies
I
,
Sir
,
now
it
is
plain
,
the
Law
will
not
defend
us
,
tho'
we
are
never
so
innocent
,
or
to
this
purpose
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Upon
what
occasion
was
that
discourse
?
Mr.
Goodenough
,
Every
thing
going
against
us
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
How
?
Mr.
Goodenough
,
This
was
in
Easter
Term
,
as
near
as
I
can
remember
83.
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Ay
,
83.
Mr.
Goodenough
,
Therefore
,
saies
I
,
something
else
is
to
be
thought
on
,
some
course
else
is
to
be
taken
:
to
this
purpose
he
answered
me
,
I
wonder
the
City
is
so
unready
,
and
the
Country
so
ready
.
L.
C.
Baron
,
What
Country
?
Mr.
Goodenough
,
He
had
been
in
the
Country
,
as
I
understood
,
before
,
that
I
don't
know
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
What
time
was
this
,
Sir
?
Mr.
Goodenough
,
In
Easter
Term
,
or
thereabout
,
83.
I
told
him
then
,
Sir
,
there
is
something
thought
of
to
be
done
here
in
London
,
to
this
purpose
;
but
,
saies
I
,
in
the
first
place
,
the
Tower
is
to
be
seized
,
where
the
Magazin
is
;
so
he
answered
me
,
after
some
pause
(
he
paused
upon
it
)
saies
he
,
I
will
do
what
good
I
can
,
or
what
I
can
,
to
this
purpose
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Did
he
seem
to
dislike
seizing
the
Tower
at
all
?
Mr.
Goodenough
,
Not
at
all
,
Sir
,
it
did
not
appear
so
to
me
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
What
discourses
had
you
any
other
time
?
Mr.
Goodenough
,
I
never
had
any
discourse
of
this
matter
,
or
any
thing
relating
to
it
at
any
other
time
,
but
only
when
I
came
upon
the
Exchange
,
how
things
went
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
And
did
you
give
him
an
account
?
Mr.
Goodenough
,
I
said
,
well
,
I
gave
him
a
general
answer
,
for
that
was
not
a
place
to
talk
in
,
and
that
I
apprehended
of
this
discourse
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Had
you
any
other
matters
?
Mr.
Goodenough
,
I
had
some
other
matters
of
managing
the
Riot
,
that
was
brought
against
him
,
and
several
others
,
and
my self
also
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Will
you
ask
him
any
questions
,
Mr.
Cornish
?
Mr.
Cornish
,
Whether
his
Pardon
be
allowed
?
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
We
heard
it
read
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
This
being
a
Court
inferiour
to
the
Kings-Bench
—
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Here
is
a
Pardon
under
the
Great
Seal
,
Sir
,
and
here
is
a
Pardon
of
that
Offence
which
you
charge
him
with
,
and
which
you
take
to
be
a
sufficient
exception
against
his
being
a
Witness
,
we
are
satisfied
it
is
sufficient
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
Pray
,
my
Lord
,
is
not
this
Pardon
Special
?
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
What
do
you
mean
by
that
?
Mr.
Cornish
,
Because
,
my
Lord
,
he
hath
been
in
an
Act
of
Treason
since
;
therefore
,
my
Lord
,
if
he
be
not
pardoned
of
that
—
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
No
,
no
,
he
is
not
Indicted
for
it
;
we
can't
try
him
now
for
any
Treason
of
that
nature
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
humbly
conceive
he
hath
not
had
a
Pardon
for
his
last
Treason
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
I
must
tell
you
,
if
he
be
guilty
of
Treason
,
till
he
is
Tryed
and
Convicted
,
it
doth
not
take
off
his
Testimony
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
Pray
,
Mr.
Goodenough
,
remember
all
your
tricks
,
whether
or
no
,
was
there
any
body
present
when
this
discourse
past
between
you
and
I
?
Mr.
Goodenough
,
No
body
but
you
and
I.
Mr.
Cornish
,
You
were
not
so
conversant
in
my
house
,
I
know
.
Mr.
Goodenough
,
Sir
,
I
came
to
you
about
the
business
of
the
Riot
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
How
many
times
might
you
be
at
my
house
?
not
three
times
,
I
believe
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
You
ask
a
question
,
and
answer
it
your self
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
My
Lord
,
I
desire
to
know
,
where
it
was
these
words
were
spoke
.
Mr.
Goodenough
,
Sir
,
in
your
lower
Room
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
In
my
own
house
?
Mr.
Goodenough
,
Yes
,
Sir
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
And
no
Company
there
?
Mr.
Goodenough
,
And
no
Company
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
That
is
very
strange
,
and
that
afterwards
you
should
meet
me
,
and
discourse
this
matter
again
.
Mr.
Goodenough
,
No
,
Sir
,
all
I
say
,
is
this
,
you
met
me
upon
the
Exchange
,
and
asked
me
how
things
went
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
That
might
be
in
reference
to
the
Suit
you
were
managing
for
the
Rioters
;
I
know
of
nothing
else
.
Mr:
Just.
Withins
,
And
I
tell
you
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
that
was
a
Branch
of
the
Plot
;
take
that
from
me
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
My
Lord
,
he
was
Attorney
in
that
Cause
,
and
I
might
ask
,
how
matters
went
in
reference
to
that
Tryal
,
but
I
take
God
to
witness
,
nothing
else
,
as
I
remember
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
But
here
you
say
,
it
was
a
strange
thing
that
Mr.
Goodenough
and
you
should
be
in
a
Room
alone
,
when
you
acknowledge
him
to
have
been
the
Attorney
in
a
Cause
of
mighty
consequence
among
you
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
He
was
concerned
for
all
,
and
I
stedfastly
believe
he
was
never
with
me
twice
about
that
Suit
;
but
he
hath
been
at
Sir
Thomas
Players
;
there
he
often
went
about
that
affair
;
and
I
do
not
believe
that
ever
he
came
to
me
about
that
business
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
,
Is
that
all
you
have
to
say
to
him
,
Sir
?
Mr.
At.
Gen.
Will
you
ask
him
any
more
questions
?
if
not
,
go
on
,
we
have
done
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
My
Lord
,
Colonel
Rumsey
is
a
person
that
hath
acquainted
the
Court
,
that
there
was
a
long
acquaintance
between
him
and
me
.
I
have
served
His
Majesty
in
my
Place
,
and
do
it
to
this
day
.
My
Lord
,
it
is
a
very
improbable
thing
,
that
I
should
meet
him
at
Mr.
Sheppards
,
where
I
saw
such
wicked
and
horrible
doings
;
and
that
he
should
never
afterwards
speak
to
me
about
that
affair
;
he
came
to
my
house
,
I
remember
,
about
the
return
of
some
Moneys
for
his
own
private
use
;
for
he
was
then
out
of
His
Majesties
Employment
.
He
does
declare
here
,
he
never
said
a
word
to
me
,
never
spake
to
me
any
thing
of
i●
but
there
.
My
Lord
,
it
is
very
strange
thing
,
that
there
should
be
such
a
Contrivance
to
ruin
the
King
and
Kingdom
,
and
that
I
should
be
one
in
this
business
this
Villany
,
and
not
be
consulted
how
to
carry
it
on
,
it
is
very
strange
,
they
should
seeme
,
and
never
say
a
word
of
it
afterwards
to
me
.
My
Lord
,
I
hope
,
and
you
G●ntlemen
of
the
Jury
,
that
you
will
consider
the
improbability
of
it
;
it
is
as
improbable
as
any
thing
in
the
world
.
I
hope
it
doth
appear
to
your
●o●●sh●p
and
:
Bench
that
there
is
no
probability
in
it
;
he
owns
we
had
a
great
deal
of
freedom
;
he
owns
we
were
acquainted
for
fourteen
years
together
,
and
that
I
should
be
at
such
a
wicked
villainous
place
once
,
and
see
him
so
often
afterwards
,
and
never
speak
of
it
,
and
never
say
any
thing
of
it
,
the
Great
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
before
whom
I
stand
,
knows
that
I
know
nothing
of
all
that
he
hath
sworn
against
me
:
He
must
swear
these
things
to
save
his
own
life
;
if
he
will
take
away
my
life
,
he
will
take
away
many
others
,
without
question
,
if
he
can
save
his
own
.
I
should
not
urge
this
,
but
God
is
my
Witness
,
I
never
heard
any
thing
of
a
Contrivance
or
Plot
,
till
my
Lord
Russel's
Tryal
:
These
are
very
strange
things
,
if
so
be
so
good
a
Government
as
we
have
,
shall
not
protect
such
innocent
men
;
truly
,
my
Lord
,
I
am
as
innocent
as
any
man
in
this
Court
,
if
I
were
to
appear
before
the
great
God
in
Judgment
this
moment
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Look
you
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
would
with
all
my
heart
allow
you
all
the
Liberty
imaginable
,
to
speak
pertinently
to
your
Defence
,
but
to
oppose
confidence
,
and
very
great
assurance
,
upon
your
being
in
the
presence
of
Almighty
God
,
against
express
Testimony
,
is
the
weakest
defence
that
can
be
;
if
you
have
any
Witnesses
,
if
you
have
any
thing
to
urge
against
the
Testimony
of
any
of
these
Persons
,
besides
the
improbability
of
it
,
which
you
have
often
mentioned
over
and
over
again
;
you
shall
be
heard
with
all
patience
,
if
you
have
Witnesses
that
you
will
call
,
we
will
hear
them
likewise
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
I
think
his
Treason
being
confessed
,
and
not
being
pardoned
—
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
Is
that
all
you
will
say
,
Mr.
Cornish
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
hope
you
will
bear
a
little
with
me
,
I
am
highly
concerned
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
You
are
so
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
have
had
no
help
,
and
it
is
well
known
,
I
am
not
skilful
in
the
Law
.
I
don't
understand
what
to
say
,
nor
how
to
plead
my
Cause
,
having
no
help
,
nor
no
assistance
allowed
me
.
My
Lord
,
it
is
a
most
improbable
thing
that
I
should
be
at
this
place
,
where
this
horrible
wickedness
was
,
and
that
it
should
lie
all
this
time
never
mentioned
:
I
have
been
,
my
Lord
,
several
times
in
Prison
this
year
,
and
I
think
my
Vertue
will
be
so
much
the
greater
,
to
be
again
and
again
purged
,
as
I
have
been
;
that
which
hath
pleased
me
very
much
,
hath
been
my
innocency
:
Would
any
man
in
my
circumstances
have
stayed
and
continued
in
this
Nation
,
if
he
had
not
known
himself
perfectly
innocent
?
others
have
gone
away
,
and
I
could
as
freely
have
gone
,
after
I
have
been
taken
up
four
times
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
I
doubt
there
are
a
great
many
are
not
gone
,
Mr.
Rumsey
hath
told
you
plainly
,
it
was
compassion
to
you
,
though
injury
to
himself
,
that
he
did
not
accuse
you
sooner
.
M.
Just.
Levins
.
Here
is
Gaunt
staid
here
till
within
this
Week
or
Fortnight
,
and
never
stirr'd
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
my
Lord
hath
put
you
in
the
right
way
for
your
defence
,
if
you
can
invalidate
the
Testimony
,
or
call
any
Witnesses
,
do
it
,
but
to
talk
at
this
rate
,
you
may
do
it
this
month
(
for
ought
I
know
)
and
't
will
signifie
no
more
than
it
hath
done
already
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
The
improbability
is
so
manifest
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Is
it
enough
to
say
,
improbability
,
improbability
,
improbability
?
Is
that
enough
?
Have
you
said
any
more
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
have
said
this
,
that
this
Gentleman
that
should
be
so
conversant
in
the
Town
,
I
in
his
Company
,
and
he
in
mine
,
Is
it
not
improbable
?
—
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
Look
you
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
will
tell
you
what
the
method
is
,
to
give
Evidence
first
,
and
then
apply
it
in
summing
up
the
Evidence
;
if
you
were
summing
it
up
,
the
Court
hath
all
the
reason
in
the
World
to
hear
you
;
if
you
have
Evidence
,
the
way
is
,
to
give
your
Evidence
,
and
apply
it
if
you
can
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
Have
you
any
Witnesses
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
Against
Mr.
Rumsey
.
Just.
Withins
.
Against
any
body
,
Mr.
Rumsey
if
you
will
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
humbly
conceive
that
this
Witness
,
Mr.
Rumsey
,
ought
not
to
stand
;
if
your
Lordship
satisfies
me
,
I
shall
be
very
much
obliged
to
your
Lourdship
:
He
declared
upon
his
Oath
,
when
he
swore
against
my
Lord
Russel
,
that
he
had
nothing
else
to
swear
against
any
man
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
How
does
it
appear
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
will
produce
it
,
if
your
Lordship
please
to
give
me
time
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
But
afterwards
he
Discover'd
a
great
deal
more
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Look
you
,
Sir
,
if
you
have
any
exception
against
Mr.
Rumsey's
Testimony
,
we
will
hear
you
,
propound
a
legal
exception
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
hunbly
conceive
,
he
not
producing
his
Pardon
,
his
Evidence
is
not
good
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
You
have
had
the
opinion
of
the
Court.
Mr.
Cornish
.
If
your
Lordship
over-rule
me
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
We
must
over-rule
you
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
If
that
will
not
be
granted
me
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Then
you
have
no
more
to
say
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
But
for
my
innocency
,
for
that
(
I
know
)
I
have
enough
to
say
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
That
is
in
your
own
breast
,
the
Jury
can't
see
that
;
Will
you
call
any
Witnesses
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
have
some
Witnesses
to
call
here
,
as
to
Mr.
Goodenough
,
my
Lord
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
What
is
your
exception
against
Mr.
Goodenough
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
it
was
my
most
great
unhappiness
and
misfortune
,
that
this
Goodenough
was
admitted
into
the
Office
of
Under-Sheriff
;
and
,
my
Lord
,
that
I
might
fully
convince
your
Lordship
and
this
Court
,
all
that
I
desire
is
,
some
few
men
may
be
call'd
;
besides
,
I
think
,
there
are
a
thousand
,
I
may
say
,
that
will
bear
me
witness
,
I
did
oppose
him
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
But
pray
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
is
that
an
exception
that
he
does
not
swear
true
,
because
you
would
not
let
him
be
your
Under-Sheriff
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
It
looks
like
malice
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
You
did
admit
him
to
be
Under-Sheriff
,
all
the
World
knows
that
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
But
I
can
set
forth
that
I
did
oppose
him
,
and
the
reasons
why
I
did
oppose
him
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
You
may
,
if
you
will
,
give
Evidence
,
what
an
instrument
he
was
to
you
,
and
how
he
served
you
in
your
Office
,
when
you
were
Sheriff
;
Is
this
to
the
purpose
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
Yes
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
It
is
not
at
all
to
the
purpose
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
was
imposed
upon
by
my
Partner
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
You
could
not
be
imposed
upon
,
you
had
equal
Power
with
your
Partner
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
If
your
Lordship
pleases
to
consider
the
temper
of
that
man
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
What
man
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
Bethel
,
I
mean
,
what
an
obstinate
man
he
was
.
My
Lord
,
I
hope
I
can
purge
my self
greatly
in
these
matters
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
If
you
will
,
tell
to
what
you
will
call
them
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
The
great
aversion
that
I
had
.
Mr.
Attor
.
Gen.
We
will
admit
that
,
he
did
oppose
him
,
because
he
would
have
had
more
money
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
You
have
heard
the
opinion
of
the
Court.
Mr.
Just.
It
is
not
material
whether
he
came
in
with
or
without
your
consent
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
Mr.
Gosfright
,
will
you
be
pleas'd
to
declare
to
my
Lord
,
how
I
was
imposed
upon
,
by
suffering
Goodenough
to
be
Under-Sheriff
?
Mr.
Gosfright
.
My
Lord
,
after
that
Bethel
and
Cornish
were
chosen
Sheriffs
,
they
had
some
meetings
together
concerning
an
Under-Sheriff
;
Mr.
Bethel
he
named
Goodenough
,
Mr.
Cornish
he
named
another
;
they
could
not
agree
,
the
difference
did
arise
in
three
or
four
,
or
more
days
Debate
,
as
I
remember
,
and
Mr.
Cornish
did
tell
Sheriff
Bethel
,
He
was
resolved
if
Goodenough
were
Under-Sheriff
,
he
would
Fine
,
and
not
hold
,
and
told
him
the
reason
why
,
He
said
he
was
a
man
that
he
would
not
trust
a
hair
of
his
head
with
,
and
he
had
no
knowledge
,
he
believed
,
of
the
business
,
but
withal
,
he
told
him
,
He
was
a
man
obnoxious
to
the
Government
,
and
he
was
an
ill
man
,
and
had
done
ill
things
,
and
he
would
not
trust
his
Estate
and
his
Reputation
in
the
hands
of
such
an
Under-Sheriff
:
Bethel
he
insisted
upon
it
,
and
he
was
resolved
he
would
have
Goodenough
,
and
Cornish's
Man
should
not
be
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Who
was
Cornish's
Man
?
Mr.
Gosfright
.
I
know
the
Man
,
but
forget
his
Name
.
—
Millman
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Can
you
tell
what
Goodenough
was
to
give
for
the
Under-Sheriffwick
?
Mr.
Gosfright
.
No
,
indeed
.

Was
there
no
discourse
?
Mr.
Gosfright
.
Not
in
my
hearing
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Was
Goodenough
Under-Sheriff
to
Cornish
at
last
?
Mr.
Gosfright
.
Yes
Sir
.
L.
C
J.
Jones
.
How
did
they
agree
?
Mr.
Gosfright
.
I
believe
the
animosities
were
so
great
,
that
they
were
never
reconciled
,
for
Cornish
had
so
bespatter'd
Goodenough
that
he
was
so
ill
a
man
,
that
Goodenough
,
I
believe
,
could
never
digest
it
well
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
:
Did
you
hear
any
angry
words
,
after
he
was
admitted
to
be
Under-Sheriff
?
Mr.
Gosfright
.
Truly
,
I
never
was
at
Alderman
Cornish's
while
he
was
Sheriff
:
But
I
heard
that
character
of
him
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
And
that
was
the
reason
you
did
not
go
to
Mr.
Cornish
.
Mr.
Gosfright
.
No
,
I
believe
Goodenough
never
came
there
,
but
I
was
at
neither
of
their
Houses
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
Pray
,
how
many
Juries
did
you
help
him
in
?
Mr.
Gosfright
.
Truly
I
was
so
little
acquainted
,
I
could
not
help
him
.
Mr.
Justice
Levins
.
I
hear
other
People
say
the
contrary
.
Mr.
Gosfright
.
I
was
but
newly
come
into
England
,
and
could
know
no
man
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
Alderman
Love
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
To
what
purpose
do
you
call
him
,
Sir
?
To
the
same
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
It
is
evidently
to
declare
how
much
I
was
imposed
upon
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Psha
,
I
will
tell
the
Jury
,
I
will
do
this
for
you
,
upon
this
man's
Testimony
,
that
you
were
unwilling
that
Goodenough
should
be
Under-sheriff
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
there
is
a
great
deal
more
in
it
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
What
is
there
more
?
he
never
heard
an
angry
word
between
you
,
during
the
time
,
he
says
,
afterwards
you
admitted
him
to
be
Under-sheriff
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
Mr.
Love
,
will
you
please
to
declare
to
the
Court
,
what
aversion
I
had
to
Mr.
Goodenough
being
the
Under-sheriff
.
Mr.
Love
.
My
Lord
,
I
did
receive
a
Sub-poena
last
night
,
and
I
wondred
at
it
,
I
confess
,
ever
since
I
was
so
happy
to
get
out
of
publick
Employment
,
having
apply'd
my self
to
my
private
Affairs
,
I
never
came
to
Guild-Hall
.
But
all
I
can
say
,
is
this
,
that
when
it
was
publickly
talkt
upon
the
Exchange
,
meeting
Mr.
Cornish
upon
the
Exchange
,
I
did
hear
him
inclined
to
have
another
man
(
one
I
don't
know
,
)
to
be
his
Under-sheriff
,
and
that
he
did
not
like
Mr.
Goodenough
,
but
was
inclined
to
another
man
,
but
it
is
so
long
ago
,
I
believe
I
might
persuade
him
,
having
been
Sheriff
above
twenty
years
ago
,
to
Mr.
Hastings
,
an
honest
man
,
I
got
my
quietus
est
,
without
trouble
:
But
I
must
say
this
for
the
Gentleman
,
I
did
hear
him
complain
,
that
he
was
imposed
upon
to
take
this
man
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
How
long
was
this
after
the
time
?
Mr.
Love
.
It
was
before
they
had
pitched
upon
a
man
,
and
he
was
much
inclined
to
one
Mr.
Milbourne
or
Milman
,
or
some
such
name
,
that
is
all
I
can
say
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Do
you
think
we
sit
here
to
hear
impertinencies
;
God
forbid
,
Sir
,
I
should
hinder
you
from
giving
any
Evidence
,
but
this
is
not
at
all
material
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
If
your
Lordship
please
to
let
Mr.
Jekyl
come
,
he
will
tell
you
what
this
man
did
declare
,
why
I
was
against
him
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
If
you
had
not
entertain'd
Mr.
Goodenough
,
then
there
might
be
something
of
malice
in
it
,
but
you
did
receive
him
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
had
private
Covenants
with
Bethel
,
before
I
would
let
him
come
into
the
Office
.
Mr.
Jekyl
,
pray
will
you
declare
to
my
Lord
,
and
the
Jury
,
what
aversion
I
had
against
Mr.
Goodenough's
being
Under-sheriff
?
Mr.
Jekyl
.
Truly
,
my
Lord
,
Alderman
Cornish
and
I
,
living
near
together
,
I
had
occasion
to
go
to
him
,
several
times
,
about
Bills
of
Exchange
;
and
he
told
me
,
when
he
was
Sheriff
,
how
he
was
troubled
with
Bethel
,
because
he
would
put
Goodenough
upon
him
,
for
I
don't
intend
to
have
him
,
says
he
,
for
I
know
he
is
obnoxious
to
the
King
and
Government
,
and
desired
me
to
speak
to
Mr.
Bethel
about
it
,
but
I
had
no
acquaintance
with
him
'till
he
was
Sheriff
:
And
some
came
to
me
,
to
desire
me
to
speak
to
Alderman
Cornish
to
receive
Goodenough
,
truly
,
says
I
,
I
find
him
so
averse
against
him
,
that
it
is
not
for
me
to
persuade
him
,
to
take
a
Servant
he
must
put
such
trust
and
confidence
in
,
for
I
saw
Alderman
Cornish
was
so
averse
to
it
,
that
I
would
not
do
it
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Pray
,
do
you
think
,
in
your
Conscience
,
he
was
more
obnoxious
to
the
Government
than
his
Partner
,
Sheriff
Bethel
,
was
?
Mr.
Jekyl
.
I
must
confess
,
I
have
heard
much
of
Sheriff
Bethel
,
but
I
never
heard
that
Cornish
was
any
disaffected
man
to
the
Government
.
M.
Sol.
Gen.
But
which
was
the
most
disaffected
man
to
the
G●●ernment
,
Bethel
or
Goodenough
?
Mr.
Jekyl
.
Truly
,
as
I
remember
,
he
said
,
he
would
not
have
him
,
because
he
was
obnoxious
to
the
King
and
Government
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
This
Gentleman
was
in
a
limb
of
the
Plot
himself
,
as
great
a
Rioter
,
and
as
hot
as
any
of
them
,
this
Evidence
that
they
call
:
I
remember
you
,
Mr.
Jekyl
,
He
assure
you
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
If
Sir
William
Turner
be
upon
the
Bench
,
I
desire
him
to
speak
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
We
will
hear
Sir
William
Turner
any
thing
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
desire
he
would
declare
how
I
was
used
.
Sir
William
Turner
.
I
don't
remember
that
ever
I
saw
Mr.
Goodenough's
face
before
this
time
,
so
I
have
nothing
at
all
to
say
against
him
,
nor
can
I
say
any
thing
,
but
what
Mr.
Cornish
told
me
,
and
that
was
,
he
once
came
to
my
House
some
time
after
he
was
chosen
Sheriff
,
and
told
me
,
that
Mr.
Bethel
pressed
very
much
for
taking
Goodenough
to
be
his
Under-sheriff
,
that
he
had
no
mind
to
accept
him
,
and
he
would
propose
another
,
and
it
caused
a
great
difference
,
but
it
was
at
last
composed
,
but
how
I
can't
tell
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Now
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
by
my
consent
,
if
you
will
,
call
all
the
Aldermen
upon
the
Bench
;
whether
they
will
,
or
will
not
,
say
the
same
thing
,
for
my
part
,
I
will
agree
,
that
they
have
given
Evidence
(
if
they
will
be
contented
themselves
)
to
the
same
purpose
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
shall
not
give
your
Lordship
unnecessary
trouble
,
but
I
think
it
is
convenient
to
call
some
Witnesses
,
to
prove
the
manner
of
my
Life
and
Conversation
.
L.
C.

Your
Life
hath
not
been

Will
any

your
Loyalty

Is
the

here

No

My

here
is

desire
he
may
be
asked
what
he
knows

Mr.
Lane

Upon
the
Tryal
of
my
Lord
Russel
,
according
as
Mr.
Cornish
desires
I
may
be
heard
,
it
is
with
respect
to
Colonel
Rumsey's
Evidence
;
Colonel
Rumsey
says
,
in
my
Lord
Russel's
Tryal
,
he
did
not
hear
the
Declaration
read
,
because
it
was
read
before
he
came
there
.
Mr.
North.
Were
you
present
at
my
Lord
Russel's
Tryal
?
Mr.
Lane
.
No
,
Sir
.
Mr.
Justice
Levins
.
Sir
,
that
signifies
nothing
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
That
is
a
very
material
thing
,
my
Lord
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones

What
is
?
it
is
no
proof
at
all
.
Mr.
Cornish

Not
the
Printed
Tryal
?
L.
C.
J.

No.
Mr.
Cornish

It
is
by
Authority

L.
C.
J.
Jones

Any
body
that
was
present
may
swear
it
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
desire
I
may
have
the
Minister
of
the
Parish
,
Dr.
Calamy
,
for
my
constancy
at
my
Parish
Church
,
and
receiving
the
Sacrament
,
according
to
the
Rites
of
the
Church
of
England
,
that
I
am
,
to
all
appearance
,
a
Person
that
does
as
well
affect
the
Government
as
any
man
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
I
doubt
you
are
all
appearance
.
Dr.
Calamy
.
My
knowledg
of
Mr.
Cornish
,
hath
been
since
I
came
to
be
Minister
of
the
Parish
,
which
is
about
two
years
,
a
little
above
two
years
;
whenever
he
was
in
Town
he
did
use
to
come
to
Church
as
constantly
as
any
one
,
and
come
with
his
Family
to
Prayers
,
and
did
come
to
the
Sacrament
,
and
he
did
not
only
come
at
Easter
,
to
save
himself
from
a
Presentment
,
but
at
our
monthly
Communion
,
and
since
I
have
been
Minister
of
the
place
,
I
have
often
conversed
with
him
:
All
that
I
can
say
,
is
,
that
I
never
heard
him
say
a
disrepectful
word
of
the
Government
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
I
hope
he
took
you
to
be
a
man
of
another
Kidney
.
Dr.
Calamy
.
I
marked
his
words
,
because
of
the
Character
I
had
heard
of
him
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Pray
,
what
was
the
Character
he
had
before
those
two
years
?

That
was
what
was
publick
.
Mr.

Joseph

Mr.
Reeve

My
Lord
,
I
received
a
Sub-poena
,
from
the
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
yesterday
.
I
have
been
acquainted
with
him
about
fourteen
or
fifteen
years
,
and
had
a
considerable
trade
with
him
,
and
sometimes
we
had
some
conversation
,
and
drank
a
glass
of
Wine
together
;
I
thought
he
was
always
very
Loyal
,
and
drank
the
late
King's
Health
,
and
this
King's
Health
,
and
all
the
Royal
Family
.
I
have
no
more
to
say
.
Mr.

L.
C.

What
do
you
examine
this
Witness
to
;
Mr.
Cook
.
My
Lord
,
I
have
dealt
with
him
for
these
twenty
years
last
past
,
I
always
found
him
a
very
honest
man
,
and
a
just
man
,
and
very
upright
in
his
dealing
,
I
always
reckon'd
him
a
very
honest
just
man
:
I
have
dealt
with
him
for
great
sums
,
and
always
knew
him
very
just
and
upright
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Your
Observation
of
him
,
as
to
the
Government
.
Mr.
Cook
.
I
never
knew
any
thing
to
the
contrary
,
but
that
he
was
always
very
Loyal
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
Mr.
John
Knap
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
it
is
not
impossible
for
you
to
produce
men
enough
,
that
shall
say
,
they
know
nothing
against
you
,
concerning
the
Government
,
and
that
you
have
been
a
Loyal
man
,
sure
those
you
chuse
will
say
so
,
you
have
chose
them
,
and
,
perhaps
,
if
it
were
the
business
of
the
King's
Counsel
,
they
could
do
contrary
:
you
are
not
accused
touching
your
general
Conversation
,
but
concerning
a
particular
Fact
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
It
is
improbable
I
should
be
a
Person
ever
concern'd
in
these
matters
,
if
you
consider
,
you
find
Cornish
mentioned
only
about
being
there
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Does
not
Mr.
Rumsey
tell
you
the
meaning
why
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
It
is
very
strange
a
Man
should
be
at
such
an
Hellish
Meeting
,
and
I
see
him
over
and
over
so
many
times
,
and
never
speak
of
it
again
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
Do
not
you
know
that
Goodenough
could
not
be
produced
,
till
the
Rebellion
in
the
West
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
Is
it
probable
that
I
should
entertain
any
Treasonable
Discourse
with
Mr.
Goodenough
,
when
I
had
so
much
opposed
him
in
coming
into
the
Office
?
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
But
you
let
him
in
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
It
is
known
to
hundreds
in
this
Town
,
that
I
was
imposed
upon
by
an
unreasonable
Man
,
my
Innocency
is
as
great
as
any
Man's
,
and
my
Virtue
should
be
considered
,
when
I
have
been
under
these
impositions
;
I
have
been
Loyal
and
Dutiful
to
my
Prince
,
and
Faithful
to
the
Government
in
all
respects
;
I
have
opposed
all
manner
of
Heats
,
as
much
as
any
Man
whatsoever
;
I
can
bring
hundreds
to
shew
,
that
where
I
heard
Heats
I
allay'd
them
,
and
it
is
strange
I
should
be
such
a
Man
as
I
am
represented
here
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Have
you
done
,
Sir
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
have
thus
much
further
to
say
,
that
I
do
think
there
is
no
probability
that
I
could
be
at
this
Meeting
,
though
a
Man
should
have
a
care
how
he
takes
Gods
Name
in
vain
,
I
have
said
it
,
and
I
do
in
the
presence
of
the
Great
God
of
Heaven
declare
it
,
I
was
never
at
any
Debate
about
these
Affairs
;
I
take
the
Great
God
to
Witness
,
I
would
not
do
it
for
a
whole
World
,
if
I
were
not
innocent
.
My
Lord
,
it
is
most
improbable
what
Mr.
Rumsey
says
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
It
is
a
probable
thing
that
Rumsey
should
forswear
himself
,
it
is
a
proble
thing
that
Goodenough
should
forswear
himself
,
who
have
taken
the
Great
God
to
Witness
to
the
truth
of
what
they
swear
against
you
,
but
it
is
improbable
that
Mr.
Cornish
should
not
speak
the
truth
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
will
call
some
other
Friends
,
if
your
Lordship
please
,
to
prove
my
Loyalty
.
Mr.
Knap

I
ever
found
him
a
fair
,
good
Pay-master
.
Mr.
Attor
.
Gen.
He
calls
you
for
his
Loyalty
.
Did
you
never
hear
him
speak
any
thing
against
the
Government
?
Mr.
Knap
.
I
have
not
been
in
his
Company
but
now
and
then
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
Did
you
ever
know
me
speak
any
thing
against
the
Government
?
Mr.
Knap
.
No
Sir
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
I
marvel
that
you
,
who
have
been
an
Alderman
a
great
while
,
don't
call
some
of
the
Aldermen
;
you
have
call'd
Sr.
William
Turner
,
a
very
worthy
Alderman
,
I
wonder
you
don't
call
some
others
of
your
Brethren
,
that
are
known
Persons
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
Mr.
Carleton
.
Mr.
Carleton
.
I
have
been
acquainted
with
my
Cousin
Cornish
ever
since
the
year
61
,
when
,
being
a
Merchant
,
Trading
in
Cloth
,
I
began
my
acquaintance
with
him
,
and
afterwards
,
he
recommended
me
to
the
Party
I
Married
,
and
being
Relations
,
we
had
great
intimacy
together
;
I
have
been
several
times
at
his
House
,
he
did
always
assure
me
of
his
Loyalty
;
I
have
told
him
what
I
have
heard
People
say
abroad
,
but
he
did
assure
me
he
was
Loyal
,
and
I
do
hope
the
very
same
of
him
.
L.
C.
J.
But
you
remember
you
have
heard
that
he
was
not
a
Person
of
such
eminent
Loyalty
.
Mr.
Carleton
.
That
was
upon
the
account
,
my
Lord
,
of
his
being
in
with
Betbel
,
but
he
did
always
assure
me
of
it
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
hope
your
Lordship
will
consider
what
temper
the
Man
was
of
that
I
was
to
be
with
,
and
how
obstinate
he
was
,
and
I
hope
I
shall
not
answer
for
his
Crimes
.
Mr.
Just.
Mr
Cornish
,
Why
did
you
qualifie
your self
to
serve
with
him
,
for
you
were
not
at
first
qualified
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
had
been
Travelling
up
and
down
in
the
Country
.
Mr.
Just.
At
that
time
to
qualifie
your self
to
be
an
Officer
,
then
you
could
lay
aside
all
your
Scruples
,
and
receive
the
Sacrament
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
Joseph
Smart
,
Esq
;
Mr.
Smart
.
I
have
known
Mr.
Cornish
above
these
twenty
years
,
and
dealt
with
him
considerably
,
I
never
knew
him
but
a
very
fair
Dealer
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
Mr.
William
Crouch
.
Mr.
Crouch
.
I
have
had
acquaintance
a
great
while
with
Mr.
Cornish
,
and
have
had
several
dealings
,
I
found
him
a
very
honest
Dealer
,
and
a
good
Pay-master
.
L.
C.
J
:
Jones
.
What
know
you
of
his
Loyalty
?
Mr.
Crouch
.
For
his
Loyalty
,
I
took
it
as
the
Town
did
,
though
I
never
knew
any
Disloyalty
from
him
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
Mr.
James
West

Jones
.
Do
you
think
you
profit
your self
with
this
Testimony
?
Mr
Cornish
.
I
would
not
offend
you
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
No
,
no
,
you
don't
offend
,
I
would
gladly
hear
you
,
if
there
were
any
thing
pertinent
to
your
Defence
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
you
have
this
happiness
,
that
you
will
be
Tried
by
your
fellow
Citizens
,
of
very
good
Quality
and
Understanding
,
I
must
needs
tell
you
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
am
satisfied
I
have
appeared
here
with
all
the
care
and
caution
that
becomes
an
honest
Man
,
I
have
spoke
nothing
but
what
I
have
consider'd
as
I
have
been
in
presence
of
the
Great
God
,
I
never
was
at
any
Meeting
,
nor
never
heard
any
thing
of
this
till
the
Tryal
about
my
Lord
Russel
,
never
heard
one
word
.
L.

Gentlemen
of
the
Jury
,
The
Prisoner
at
the
Bar
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
is
Indicted
,
That
knowing
that
there
was
an
Insurrection
intended
to
be
against
the
late
King
,
of
Blessed
Memory
,
he
did
promise
to
be
Aiding
and
Assisting
in
it
,
this
is
the
substance
of
the
Indictment
,
there
have
been
two
Witnesses
Produced
,
Mr.
Rumsey
,
and
Mr.
G●●d●nough
:
Rumsey's
Testimony
(
so
far
as
I
am
able
to
remember
,
after
so
long
a
Discourse
,
and
so
much
time
that
hath
been
spent
)
was
to
this
purpose
;
That
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
the
Lord
Russel
,
Ferguson
,
and
others
,
being
in
Mr.
Sheppard's
House
,
there
came
at
length
Mr.
Cornish
,
and
excus'd
himself
for
coming
so
late
,
and
said
,
That
he
was
to
depart
from
them
very
speedily
,
because
he
was
to
go
to
attend
the
Business
(
as
I
take
it
)
of
the
Charter
,
where
the
presence
of
an
Alderman
was
necessary
,
and
none
like
to
be
there
but
himself
;
That
Ferguson
pull'd
a
Paper
out
of
his
Bosom
,
so
says
Mr.
Rumsey
,
and
upon
the
desire
of
the
Company
,
it
was
read
to
Mr.
Cornish
,
and
Sheppard
held
the
Candle
;
there
were
these
two
points
,
Rumsey
says
,
they
had
agreed
on
in
that
Paper
,
When
the
Rising
should
be
,
they
would
declare
for
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
and
for
the
Restitution
of
those
Lands
,
Bishops
Lands
,
and
King's
Lands
,
to
those
Persons
from
whom
they
had
been
taken
after
the
King's
Restauration
:
This
Paper
being
read
to
Mr
Cornish
,
he
said
,
He
did
like
it
very
well
(
these
were
the
very
words
of
Rumsey
)
and
with
that
poor
Interest
that
he
had
in
the
World
,
he
would
join
in
the
Assistance
of
them
,
for
those
ends
and
purposes
that
were
mentioned
in
that
Declaration
.
Then
comes
Goodenough
,
and
he
tells
you
,
That
he
came
to
him
in
his
Parlour
,
when
he
was
Sherriff
,
said
,
Now
there
was
no
safety
,
no
defence
at
all
by
Law
,
all
was
gone
,
there
must
be
some
other
course
taken
,
for
the
Law
would
not
sufficiently
protect
them
;
Why
?
says
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
marvel
they
are
so
slow
in
the
City
,
when
they
are
so
ready
in
the
Country
;
Ay
,
but
says
Goodenough
again
to
him
,
there
hath
been
something
done
in
the
City
;
this
was
after
the
time
that
the
City
had
been
put
into
several
Divisions
.
I
don't
see
there
is
any
Testimony
from
Mr.
Goodenough
,
that
Mr.
Cornish
knew
any
thing
of
that
,
but
says
he
,
There
is
something
done
here
,
the
Tower
is
to
be
seiz'd
,
there
is
the
Magazine
,
and
that
is
to
be
seized
upon
,
and
then
we
shall
be
able
to
do
something
,
says
he
,
I
will
do
what
good
I
can
,
or
,
says
he
,
what
I
can
,
he
is
not
confident
whether
of
these
Expressions
he
did
use
,
I
will
do
what
good
I
can
,
or
I
will
do
what
I
can
.
Afterwards
he
meets
Mr.
Cornish
upon
the
Exchange
,
here
,
I
confess
,
it
is
not
so
expresly
to
be
applied
to
this
purpose
,
that
it
doth
fasten
directly
upon
the
point
in
the
Indictment
,
but
says
he
,
How
do
Affairs
go
?
How
do
our
Affairs
go
?
says
he
,
very
well
:
This
is
the
Testimony
given
against
him
.
If
this
be
true
,
notwithstanding
Mr.
Cornish's
protestations
of
his
Innocency
,
sure
there
is
nothing
doth
more
plainly
prove
this
Indictment
,
than
this
Testimony
.
He
says
it
is
Improbable
,
very
improbable
that
I
in
my
circumstances
,
that
I
should
say
so
,
it
is
improbable
,
because
Mr.
Rumsey
had
Acquaintance
with
me
for
fourteen
years
together
,
that
I
have
dealt
with
him
for
vast
Sums
,
and
that
I
should
say
it
in
his
presence
never
but
once
,
and
that
Rumsey
does
say
,
He
never
heard
him
speak
any
thing
to
that
purpose
,
but
that
one
time
,
and
therefore
it
is
mighty
improbable
I
should
say
so
.
But
what
is
the
reason
,
says
he
,
that
this
was
not
discover'd
before
?
To
this
Rumsey
gives
a
very
positive
answer
,
Truly
,
says
he
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
had
more
Compassion
for
you
,
than
for
my self
,
I
have
suffer'd
for
it
,
you
have
not
suffer'd
for
my
silence
.
Then
Goodenough
ought
not
to
be
allowed
to
be
a
competent
Witness
,
because
when
Mr.
Cornish
and
Bethel
were
chosen
Sheriffs
of
the
City
,
Mr.
Cornish
was
much
against
receiving
Goodenough
to
be
his
Deputy
,
and
Goodenough
must
say
all
this
maliciously
against
him
,
because
he
so
much
opposed
his
being
Under-Sherriff
to
him
and
Bethel
,
he
hath
produced
several
Witnesses
to
that
purpose
,
and
they
say
there
was
some
reluctancy
in
him
to
the
receiving
Goodenough
to
be
his
Under
Sherriff
,
but
it
is
plain
and
clear
to
you
all
,
Gentlemen
,
and
every
body
in
the
City
knows
that
Goodenough
was
his
Under-Sherriff
,
and
how
well
he
served
him
,
and
to
what
purposes
I
believe
many
of
you
very
well
know
.
Another
improbability
is
,
That
he
should
admit
Goodenough
to
come
into
his
Parlour
alone
,
a
Man
that
he
had
so
much
displeased
,
but
if
so
be
he
was
once
against
him
,
he
did
afterwards
take
him
not
only
to
be
his
Under-Sheriff
,
but
employ'd
him
to
be
his
Attorney
,
and
then
he
might
very
well
admit
him
into
his
Parlour
alone
,
to
discourse
of
his
business
,
as
an
Attorney
,
and
this
might
fall
in
among
other
discourse
:
Gentlemen
,
there
are
several
other
Witnesses
produced
concerning
the
honesty
of
his
Dealing
,
and
the
honesty
of
his
Conversation
,
that
they
have
nothing
at
all
to
say
against
;
but
Gentlemen
,
in
a
popular
City
,
where
he
is
,
and
hath
been
so
well
known
,
it
is
a
very
easie
matter
to
bring
millions
of
Men
to
give
the
very
same
Testimony
,
and
certainly
he
will
bring
none
,
having
the
choice
of
them
,
but
such
as
shall
speak
in
his
favour
;
but
he
speaks
in
the
presence
of
God
,
he
speaks
from
the
bottom
of
his
Heart
,
that
he
never
had
any
such
disloyal
Thought
entred
into
his
mind
:
Gentlemen
,
Hath
no
body
any
sense
of
the
presence
of
God
but
Mr.
Cornish
?
Hath
not
Rumsey
call'd
God
to
be
a
Witness
to
his
Oath
?
and
Goodenough
hath
done
the
like
?
Why
is
it
maliciously
against
the
Life
of
Mr.
Cornish
?
for
I
don't
know
he
does
,
in
the
least
,
object
any
thing
against
Rumsey
,
that
there
was
ever
any
displeasure
between
them
two
,
Why
should
he
deliver
this
Testimony
if
it
were
not
the
Testimony
of
his
heart
?
and
that
which
he
says
himself
,
he
had
too
long
concealed
out
of
the
compassion
he
had
for
him
.
Gentlemen
,
if
a
great
many
Protestations
and
Asseverations
should
make
a
man
as
innocent
as
confident
,
no
man
should
die
by
the
Sentence
of
the
Law
;
it
is
an
easie
matter
for
any
man
to
take
up
the
same
assurance
and
confidence
that
he
hath
done
:
And
for
his
being
such
a
Church-man
,
as
he
now
pretends
himself
to
be
,
for
that
is
one
thing
by
which
he
would
argue
the
improbability
of
the
thing
,
and
he
would
have
you
believe
very
much
of
his
Loyalty
from
it
.
Gentlemen
,
all
the
Evidence
he
hath
given
,
is
but
of
two
years
standing
,
and
since
the
Tryal
of
my
Lord
Russel
;
and
such
a
man
as
he
,
and
many
men
that
were
conscious
to
themselves
of
their
Guilt
,
did
think
it
very
fit
to
purge
themselves
that
way
,
to
gain
themselves
a
good
opinion
that
they
were
Loyal
to
the
Government
:
But
it
is
not
deny'd
by
Mr.
Cornish
,
that
before
that
time
he
did
not
frequent
the
Church
,
nor
receive
the
Sacrament
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
These
seven
years
,
my
Lord
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Who
did
say
so
?
Sure
no
body
said
so
yet
.
I
repeat
the
evidence
truly
,
all
you
said
of
that
was
out
of
the
mouth
of
Dr.
Calamy
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
Dr.
Calamy
came
in
but
lately
and
his
Predecessor
Dr.
Whitchcot
is
dead
.
Mr.
Justice
Withins
.
Sir
,
you
were
not
qualified
for
your
Office
if
you
had
not
took
the
Sacrament
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
You
did
lay
aside
all
your
Scruples
to
Qualifie
your self
to
be
Sheriff
by
receiving
the
Sacrament
,
which
otherwise
you
could
not
have
been
.
Others
that
have
spoken
of
your
Conversation
likewise
say
,
That
the
report
was
abroad
,
that
you
were
not
so
Loyal
and
Firm
to
the
Government
as
you
ought
to
have
been
.
Gentlemen
,
you
have
heard
the
Evidence
;
I
have
done
my
endeavour
to
repeat
it
faithfully
,
if
you
beleive
that
he
did
Promise
to
Aid
or
Join
,
or
Agree
with
that
Rebellion
or
Insurrection
,
then
you
ought
to
find
him
Guilty
of
this
Indictment
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
am
as
innocent
as
any
mortal
man
.
Then
the
Jury
withdrew
,
and
after
a
considerable
time
returned
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
hope
I
may
have
one
word
.
Mr.
Justice
Withins
.
No
,
not
till
your
Verdict
.
Mr.
Bar.
Gregory
.
No
,
no
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
we
cann't
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
had
a
Witness
more
that
was
very
material
,
but
I
would
not
offend
your
Lordship
:
Mr.
Rumsey
said
Mr.
Sheppard
held
the
Candle
.
M.
Justice
Withins
.
Why
did
not
you
call
him
?
you
called
a
great
many
impertinent
Witnesses
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
was
not
come
to
him
,
I
would
have
call'd
them
in
order
.
Mr.
Bar.
Gregory
.
Why
did
not
you
produce
him
then
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
Because
your
Lordship
seemed
to
be
Angry
.
Mr.
Bar.
Gregory
.
No
,
not
at
all
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
did
forbear
purely
upon
that
account
.
I
pray
,
my
Lord
,
let
him
be
called
.
Mr.
Bar.
Gregory
.
Here
were
Eight
Judges
and
my
Lord
Chief
Justice
,
and
now
here
is
only
Two
:
Do
you
think
we
will
defer
things
of
this
nature
?
It
is
never
asked
Apply
your self
to
the
Judges
:
It
is
a
strange
thing
.
Mr.
Justice
Withins
.
This
is
only
to
delay
time
.
Mr.
Bar.
Gregory
.
If
he
does
so
the
Jury
must
go
out
again
.
Mr.
Justice
Withins
.
After
the
Jury
hath
been
out
an
hour
,
we
must
have
new
Allegations
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
was
tender
of
offending
.
Mr.
Justice
Withins
.
That
is
a
Reflection
upon
the
Court
;
under
favour
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
told
you
my self
,
over
and
over
to
call
your
witnesses
.
Clerk
.
Elizabeth
Gaunt
,
hold
up
thy
hand
.
Mrs.
Gaunt
.
My
Lord
,
I
beseech
you
,
hear
me
,
you
won't
take
advantage
I
hope
of
me
.
Mr.
Justice
Withins
.
I
declare
my
opinion
freely
,
it
ought
not
to
be
done
.
Recorder
.
I
think
shee
ought
to
have
it
as
well
as
t'other
.
Mr.
Bar.
Gregory
.
You
call'd
never
a
Witness
.
Mrs.
Gaunt
.
No
Sir
,
I
could
not
tell
,
I
have
some
to
call
.
Mr.
Justice
Withins
.
I
am
of
that
opinion
you
ought
to
take
the
Verdict
.
Then
Judges
came
again
upon
the
Bench
,
and
the
Jury
found
Mrs.
Gaunt
guilty
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Is
Rumsey
come
in
?
Capt.
Richardson
.
I
have
sent
for
him
,
he
will
be
here
presently
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
must
pray
your
Lordship
,
to
consider
my
tenderness
in
offending
you
,
which
made
me
omit
calling
Mr.
Sheppard
,
I
had
him
in
my
paper
,
he
is
in
my
paper
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Don't
you
begin
your
preface
something
untowardly
,
as
though
the
Court
would
not
do
you
all
the
kindness
possible
,
half
a
dozen
times
you
were
admonished
to
call
for
pertinent
Witnesses
,
you
did
call
I
am
sure
a
great
many
impertinent
Witnesses
.
Had
you
Mr.
Sheppard's
Name
in
your
paper
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
Yes
,
my
Lord
,
but
I
was
tender
of
offending
,
pray
,
my
Lord
,
be
pleased
to
remember
Mr.
Rumsey's
Evidence
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Is
Mr.
Rumsey
here
?
Sir
,
pray
hold
your
tongue
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
I
would
acquaint
you
,
my
Lord
,
I
sent
a
Sub-poena
for
Mr.
Sheppard
,
but
could
not
find
him
,
but
I
understand
that
Mr.
Cornish's
Son
was
with
him
yesterday
,
and
he
has
absconded
;
this
I
will
give
an
Account
of
upon
Oath
:
This
,
my
Lord
,
is
a
dangerous
Practice
after
Examination
,
and
after
the
Jury
is
withdrawn
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
pray
do
not
aggravate
the
matter
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
I
must
do
my
Duty
for
the
King
.
Ma.
Cornish
.
My
Son
went
to
him
,
and
found
him
at
Church
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Now
Mr.
Atterbury
is
gone
.
I
desire
you
should
have
all
your
right
,
but
not
have
tricks
put
upon
the
King's
Evidence
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
His
Evidence
was
,
Mr.
Sheppard's
holding
the
Candle
.
Mr.
Justice
Levins
.
For
,
God's
sake
,
could
you
examine
so
many
to
your
Reputation
,
and
forget
an
Evidence
that
was
material
;
but
,
I
must
tell
you
,
if
you
will
bring
Mr.
Sheppard
to
be
examined
,
sure
it
is
requisite
,
that
the
Witness
that
swears
what
you
did
there
,
should
be
face
to
face
with
him
,
therefore
Mr.
Rumsey
should
be
here
certainly
.
Mr.
Justice
Withins
.
It
is
fit
to
have
Atterbury
here
,
to
enquire
if
he
did
abscond
,
if
Mr.
Cornish's
Son
was
with
him
,
and
he
absconded
upon
that
account
,
it
is
very
material
.
This
is
a
meer
trick
put
upon
the
King's
Evidence
.
L.
C.
Baron
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
if
you
intend
to
produce
Mr.
Sheppard
for
that
,
to
contradict
Rumsey's
Testimony
,
I
wonder
that
you
should
miss
him
,
without
you
have
had
some
notice
since
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
I
was
not
come
to
him
,
my
Lord
,
though
I
have
such
a
vile
Charge
,
I
am
perfectly
innocent
.
Mr.
Justice
Withins
.
Now
you
may
see
what
we
have
got
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
beseech
you
,
my
Lord
,
consider
me
,
it
is
as
improbable
a
thing
as
any
in
the
World
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
This
is
running
over
the
same
thing
twenty
times
.
Where
is
Sheppard
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
He
was
here
within
this
quarter
of
an
Hour
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
Mr.
Cornish
,
Is
this
fairly
done
,
when
you
said
he
was
upon
the
spot
?
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
He
was
Sub-poena'd
by
you
,
he
would
not
be
found
to
be
Sub-poena'd
by
the
King
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
To
make
the
Court
come
down
,
and
then
to
have
no
notice
of
the
Person
at
all
;
sure
you
may
give
the
Court
leave
to
take
notice
that
they
are
not
civilly
dealt
with
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Who
told
you
he
was
here
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
This
Gentleman
says
,
he
saw
him
.
Pray
,
my
Lord
,
don't
be
offended
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
I
never
saw
such
a
thing
,
the
time
was
,
you
and
your
Partner
would
not
have
allowed
it
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
If
he
comes
,
I
will
give
him
his
Oath
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
here
is
Major
Richardson
can
bear
Witness
,
I
said
I
must
Sub-poena
Mr.
Sheppard
;
I
named
him
before
Major
Richardson
again
and
again
,
and
said
,
I
must
not
omit
him
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
Sir
,
I
tell
you
what
,
you
han't
shewed
so
little
skill
to
day
here
,
but
that
you
could
maintain
so
long
a
Discourse
with
Mr.
Rumsey
as
you
were
allow'd
to
do
,
and
should
not
offer
to
call
Sheppard
to
contradict
him
,
you
dwelt
half
an
hour
upon
it
.
Mr.
Bar.
Gregory
.
And
relyed
only
upon
the
improbability
of
the
thing
.
Mr.
Rumsey
.
There
is
another
Gentleman
in
the
Tower
,
the
late
Lord
Grey
,
that
was
in
Company
,
that
can
bear
Witness
of
it
,
that
he
was
in
Company
when
the
Declaration
was
read
.
Mr.
Bar.
Gregory
.
Have
you
been
in
Company
at
Sheppards
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
have
been
at
Sheppard's
very
often
.
Pray
,
my
Lords
,
don't
be
offended
,
my
Life
will
do
you
no
good
,
I
don't
know
but
here
is
a
Gentleman
that
hath
been
in
my
Company
forty
times
over
since
that
business
.
Mr.
Rumsey
.
Pardon
me
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
not
above
three
times
since
,
and
then
there
was
other
Company
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
It
is
impossible
for
any
,
but
those
that
were
Complices
with
you
,
to
give
such
Evidence
,
and
,
because
they
were
your
Complices
,
now
you
won't
believe
them
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Are
you
Sub-poena'd
by
Mr.
Cornish
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
I
have
a
Sub-poena
from
the
King
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
But
were
you
Sub-poena'd
by
Mr.
Cornish
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
Yes
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
When
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
Last
night
,
this
morning
I
was
not
at
home
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Was
Mr.
Cornish's
Son
with
you
yesterday
in
the
afternoon
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
Yes
,
Sir
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
And
what
Discourse
had
you
with
his
Son
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
He
was
very
pressing
and
urgent
with
me
to
be
here
to
day
,
and
I
told
him
,
I
could
not
tell
whether
I
could
or
not
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Is
there
any
Accompt
between
you
and
Mr.
Cornish
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
Yes
,
Sir
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
To
what
sum
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
We
were
always
Trading
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
That
is
very
true
,
you
were
Trading
.
—
To
what
value
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
About
one
or
two
hundred
Pounds
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Who
is
Debtor
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
I
am
Debtor
.
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
Mr.
Sheppard
,
since
when
did
you
Contract
that
Debt
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
Since
when
,
Sir
;
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
Ay.
Mr.
Sheppard
.
I
believe
it
was
some
six
or
eight
Months
ago
.
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
For
what
was
it
?
Upon
what
Accompt
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
For
Cloth
,
Sir
?
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
Was
there
no
mony
lent
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
Mony
lent
me
?
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
Ay
,
Sir
.
Mr.
Sheppard
.
No
,
Sir
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Is
the
Debt
due
to
Mr.
Cornish
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
My
Lord
,
the
Debt
is
due
to
him
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Or
some
body
for
whom
he
is
a
Factor
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
I
am
indebted
to
Mr.
Cornish
,
for
whom
it
is
I
cant't
tell
.
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
Did
you
leave
word
,
whither
you
went
,
when
you
went
out
yesterday
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
No
,
Sir
.
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
Which
Sub-poena
was
served
first
upon
you
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
Mr.
Cornish's
yesterday
.
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
What
time
yesterday
was
it
served
upon
you
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
Presently
after
I
came
out
of
Church
in
the
afternoon
,
Sir
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
What
have
you
to
say
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
Mr.
Rumsey
was
pleased
to
give
in
his
Evidence
,
that
I
had
been
at
a
Consult
or
Meeting
at
Mr.
Sheppards
House
,
where
Mr.
Ferguson
should
pluck
out
a
Declaration
out
of
his
Bosom
,
and
should
read
it
by
the
Candle
,
and
Mr.
Sheppard
should
hold
the
Candle
to
him
while
he
read
it
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Do
you
remember
,
Mr.
Cornish
was
ever
at
your
House
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
At
one
of
those
Meeting
that
was
at
my
House
,
Mr.
Cornish
came
into
the
House
to
speak
a
few
words
with
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
or
some
other
,
I
can't
be
positive
in
that
,
it
is
so
many
years
ago
,
and
did
not
stay
half
a
quarter
of
an
hour
in
the
House
;
I
came
up
stairs
,
and
went
out
with
him
,
and
there
was
not
one
word
read
,
and
no
Paper
seen
while
he
was
there
.
Mr.
Just
Levins
.
Was
Mr.
Cornish
in
the
room
with
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
and
those
others
?
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
Mr.
Sheppard
,
Do
you
remember
that
the
late
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
the
Lord
Russel
,
the
Lord
Gray
,
and
Sir
Thomas
Armstrong
were
there
together
,
and
the
Declaration
read
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
I
remember
there
was
a
Declaration
read
,
Ferguson
pull'd
out
a
Declaration
out
of
his
shooe
,
he
pull'd
off
his
shooe
,
and
pull'd
it
out
there
.
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
Do
you
remember
Mr.
Cornish
was
by
,
any
time
that
night
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
Truly
I
can't
say
whether
it
was
that
night
when
the
Paper
was
read
,
but
I
do
positively
say
,
that
there
was
no
Paper
read
,
for
he
was
not
looked
upon
to
be
of
the
Company
:
Mr.
Ferguson
told
me
positively
,
there
is
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
my
Lord
Gray
,
my
Lord
Russel
,
Sir
Thomas
Armstrong
,
Coll.
Rumsey
,
my self
and
you
.
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
Who
did
Mr.
Cornish
come
to
speak
with
,
when
he
came
to
your
House
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
Truly
I
don't
know
whether
it
was
with
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
.
Mr.
Soll.
Gen.
How
came
Mr.
Cornish
to
know
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
was
there
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
Truly
my
memory
will
not
call
it
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Did
his
Coach
stand
publickly
at
your
Door
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
Whose
Coach
?
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
The
late
Duke
of
Monmouths
.
Mr.
Shep.
No
,
Sir
,
they
came
all
private
,
there
was
no
Coaches
at
the
door
that
I
saw
,
I
let
none
of
them
in
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Was
Mr.
Cornish
but
once
there
,
when
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
was
there
?
M.
Shep.
But
once
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Did
he
call
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
out
to
him
?
Mr.
Just.
Street
.
How
came
you
to
carry
him
up
to
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
if
he
were
none
of
the
Company
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
Mr.
Cornish
did
go
up
into
the
Room
,
and
spake
with
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
or
some
other
Person
,
but
I
think
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Do
you
remember
he
was
there
in
Company
,
when
Coll.
Rumsey
was
there
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
No
I
can't
remember
that
.
Mr.
Rumsey
.
My
Lord
,
when
I
came
to
Mr.
Sheppard's
House
,
Mr.
Sheppard
came
down
and
fetch'd
me
up
,
and
I
deliver'd
my
message
I
had
to
the
D.
of
Monmouth
,
and
to
the
Company
,
and
indeed
I
was
not
a
quarter
of
an
hour
there
,
I
believe
,
but
by
that
time
I
had
spoke
my
words
,
some
body
knock'd
at
the
door
,
and
Mr.
Sheppard
went
down
,
and
immediately
brought
up
Mr.
Cornish
into
the
room
,
without
asking
a
question
of
any
body
;
and
when
he
was
come
into
the
room
,
Mr.
Cornish
said
,
he
could
not
come
sooner
,
because
he
had
business
,
and
could
not
stay
,
because
there
was
a
Committee
,
for
the
management
of
the
Charter
,
to
meet
that
night
,
and
there
was
a
necessity
of
his
being
there
,
because
there
was
never
another
Alderman
in
Town
,
and
there
must
be
an
Alderman
there
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
Mr.
Sheppard
,
Do
you
remember
any
thing
of
that
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
No
,
Sir
,
I
doe
not
remember
it
,
I
'll
assure
you
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Did
you
let
him
in
at
door
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
No
,
Sir
,
I
had
word
brought
me
up
stairs
,
that
Alderman
Cornish
was
below
,
and
I
went
down
,
and
brought
him
up
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Did
you
ask
for
Mr.
Cornish
to
come
up
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
I
don't
remember
I
did
:
When
Mr.
Cornish
was
there
,
there
was
not
above
three
Persons
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Who
were
they
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
There
was
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
and
there
was
Mr.
Ferguson
,
and
truly
I
can't
tell
whether
t'other
was
my
Lord
Russel
or
my
Lord
Gray
.
Mr.
Justice
Levins
.
You
acknowledg
now
,
Sir
,
you
did
carry
the
Prisoner
up
to
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
and
those
Persons
,
Did
you
use
to
carry
all
Persons
up
there
?
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
There
was
a
Cabal
of
Rebels
met
together
,
and
you
go
and
bring
up
this
man
to
them
,
without
any
leave
or
licence
from
them
,
which
is
incredible
,
certainly
,
unless
you
knew
him
to
be
one
of
the
Company
,
and
equally
engaged
with
them
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Mr.
Sheppard
,
you
say
,
when
Mr.
Cornish
came
up
,
there
was
not
half
the
Company
there
,
Had
they
been
there
,
or
were
not
they
yet
come
?
Mr.
Justice
Withins
.
Look
you
,
Sir
,
it
is
marvellous
how
Mr.
Cornish
,
if
he
were
none
of
the
Parties
,
should
have
notice
that
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
was
there
,
who
came
in
privately
at
the
back-door
,
and
came
to
speak
with
him
there
.
Mr.
Sheppard
.
My
Lord
,
I
have
no
back-door
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
He
came
in
privately
.
Mr.
Justice
Levins
.
Mr.
Sheppard
,
I
think
I
heard
you
say
,
they
came
privately
without
their
Coaches
.
Mr.
Sheppard
.
Yes
,
Sir
,
they
had
no
Coaches
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
They
came
privately
,
I
suppose
,
that
no
body
should
know
they
were
there
.
Mr.
Sheppard
.
I
suppose
so
,
Sir
.
Mr.
Just.
Levins
.
Why
then
did
you
carry
Mr.
Cornish
up
?
If
you
were
below
in
the
House
,
he
might
come
about
your
own
business
,
but
to
be
carried
into
the
Chamber
where
they
were
,
looks
as
if
it
were
about
their
business
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
never
heard
any
thing
of
the
business
,
my
Lord
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
So
far
,
Gentlemen
,
you
remember
he
confirms
what
Mr.
Rumsey
says
,
that
Gentleman
denyed
he
was
there
with
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
Pray
Mr.
Attorney
don't
strain
,
I
have
dealings
with
Mr.
Sheppard
,
and
have
been
often
there
,
but
never
at
any
Meeting
.
Mr.
Att.
Gen.
He
says
,
you
spake
with
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
never
saw
the
Declaration
,
he
declares
it
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Had
you
any
dealings
upon
Account
with
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
Never
for
a
Farthing
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
What
business
had
you
with
him
then
?
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
don't
know
but
I
might
enquire
for
him
in
other
places
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Your
own
Witness
carried
you
up
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
if
he
did
,
I
did
not
stay
,
he
says
Mr.
Sheppard
held
the
Candle
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
Mr
Cornish
,
he
confirms
great
part
of
what
Mr.
Rumsey
says
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
Not
one
tittle
,
for
he
declares
I
was
not
of
the
Company
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
He
says
no
such
thing
.
Mr
Sheppard
.
My
Lord
,
to
my
knowledge
,
I
can
safely
say
,
he
knows
nothing
of
it
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
And
yet
you
could
bring
him
up
among
them
.
Mr.
Sheppard
.
My
Lord
,
I
declare
I
never
spake
any
thing
to
him
in
my
life
about
the
business
,
nor
never
in
any
Company
.
Mr.
J.W.
It
is
plain
,
Mr.
Rums
.
says
he
was
the
man
that
brought
you
up
;
How
should
Mr
Rums
.
know
that
?
Mr.
Attor
.
Gen.
Mr.
Sheppard
,
I
will
ask
you
this
Question
;
Had
you
order
from
that
Company
not
to
bring
up
any
Person
?
Do
you
remember
you
swore
so
at
a
former
Tryal
.
Mr.
Sheppard
.
I
remember
when
I
was
there
,
they
desired
I
would
let
none
of
my
Servants
up
,
and
that
I
would
go
down
and
fetch
up
what
they
wanted
,
and
I
fetch'd
up
Wine
and
what
they
wanted
.
Mr.
Sol
Gen.
Mr.
Sheppard
,
Why
were
none
of
your
Servants
to
come
up
?
Mr.
Shep.
Because
they
were
in
private
,
Sir
.
Mr.
Sol.
Gen.
Were
Strangers
to
come
up
therefore
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
It
is
so
long
ago
,
I
can't
remember
.
Mr.
Just
Levins
.
They
came
privately
,
without
Coaches
,
because
none
should
know
they
were
there
,
and
you
carry
Mr.
Cornish
up
to
them
.
Mr.
Cornish
.
I
think
this
Witness
is
confronted
.
L.
C.
J.
Jones
.
Hold
your
Tongue
,
Sir
,
he
hath
not
done
yet
.
Mr.
Rumsey
.
My
Lord
,
as
soon
as
Mr.
Cornish
had
made
his
excuse
for
his
not
coming
sooner
,
and
that
he
could
not
stay
,
I
could
not
make
that
,
and
Mr.
Cornish
can't
say
I
would
do
any
thing
maliciously
or
spitefully
against
him
;
my
Lord
as
soon
as
he
had
done
,
all
the
Company
went
about
him
,
and
some
body
did
tell
him
,
They
would
tell
him
what
they
had
done
;
they
told
him
the
Declaration
had
been
read
,
that
Mr.
Ferguson
had
prepared
it
,
and
they
said
,
Look
you
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
you
shall
hear
it
read
,
and
with
that
,
this
Gentleman
,
though
he
denies
it
,
did
take
the
Candle
,
and
held
it
,
they
did
not
come
to
the
Table
,
but
the
Company
stood
round
while
Mr.
Ferguson
pull'd
it
out
of
his
Bosom
.
Mr.
Just.
Withins
.
Mr.
Sheppard
,
you
are
very
forward
.
Mr.
Attor
.
Gen.
My
Lord
,
I
would
ask
Mr.
Sheppard
a
Question
.
Mr.
Rumsey
.
My
Lord
,
the
Declaration
was
read
,
and
Mr.
Cornish
did
approve
of
it
,
and
did
say
,
With
that
small
Interest
,
or
little
Interest
,
or
words
to
that
effect
,
that
he
had
,
he
would
assist
.
Mr.
Attor
.
Gen.
I
wonder
why
you
did
not
give
me
notice
when
you
came
in
the
morning
.
Why
did
not
you
give
notice
?
Mr
Sheppard
.
I
was
here
attending
from
Eleven
a
Clock
,
till
half
an
hour
after
three
.
Mr.
Attor
.
Gen.
Did
you
send
in
any
word
.
?
Mr.
Sheppard
.
I
could
not
tell
who
to
send
in
:
I
was
here
expecting
to
be
call'd
.
Mr.
Street
.
You
have
had
a
favour
that
no
man
ever
had
.
Mr
Sol.
Gen.
Gentlemen
,
there
hath
been
a
very
great
indulgence
given
to
the
Prisoner
,
and
it
is
to
shew
you
what
tenderness
a
Court
of
Justice
hath
,
and
always
will
have
,
of
the
lives
of
the
King's
Subjects
:
After
a
ful
Evidence
,
though
he
had
neglected
his
Defence
,
yet
you
were
again
sent
for
into
Court
,
to
hear
what
further
Evidenee
he
had
to
offer
to
you
;
I
cannot
but
observe
,
this
looks
like
a
subtile
Contrivance
on
the
Prisoners
part
;
you
see
what
endeavors
have
been
made
by
Mr.
Attorney
General
,
to
have
had
him
here
a
Witness
for
the
King
,
you
have
observed
he
hath
told
you
he
had
a
Subpoena
left
for
him
,
but
he
was
absent
,
in
what
Company
he
was
absent
yesterday
,
he
hath
told
you
,
With
Mr.
Cornish's
Son
;
this
morning
he
was
not
to
be
found
,
after
he
had
received
this
Subpoena
,
and
a
Subpoena
from
Mr.
Cornish
;
he
stays
without
,
and
gives
no
notice
,
but
when
you
are
withdrawn
,
can
send
intelligence
to
Mr.
Cornish
,
that
he
hath
something
to
say
,
that
,
he
hopes
,
will
excuse
him
;
now
what
that
is
,
I
must
beg
you
a
little
to
observe
:
Truly
I
am
very
glad
for
the
satisfaction
of
all
men
,
that
Mr.
Sheppard
hath
now
been
here
,
and
he
is
so
far
from
invalidating
any
one
part
of
the
Testimony
,
that
by
all
the
circumstances
you
can
collect
from
this
Evidence
that
is
given
,
it
is
a
corroboration
of
it
:
Mr.
Cornish
was
accused
of
being
present
at
Consultations
that
have
been
held
against
the
Life
of
the
King
,
and
for
raising
Rebellion
at
Mr.
Sheppard's
House
;
his
excusing
his
not
coming
there
is
a
sufficient
Argument
to
prove
he
was
privy
to
their
Meeting
,
he
hath
gone
on
further
,
&
proved
to
you
the
reading
the
Declaration
;
now
what
says
Sheppard
to
this
Witness
?
Mr.
Cornish
,
by
the
way
,
I
must
observe
to
you
,
before
,
did
deny
his
being
there
;
he
had
been
sometimes
in
Company
with
Ferguson
,
but
he
did
not
like
the
man
,
he
says
,
because
of
his
Morals
;
now
the
Witness
he
hath
produced
hath
given
you
this
Testimony
,
that
Mr.
Cornish
hath
been
there
in
that
Company
,
that
he
came
in
such
a
manner
,
that
no
man
but
must
be
satisfied
he
was
privy
to
their
Designs
,
and
did
know
of
their
Meeting
,
for
he
comes
when
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Conspirators
,
were
there
met
in
private
,
with
a
direct
charge
to
Mr.
Sheppard
,
that
is
the
Witness
,
that
they
should
be
so
private
,
that
no
one
Servant
should
come
up
into
the
Room
,
yet
Mr.
Sheppard
tells
you
,
that
when
Mr.
Cornish
came
he
carried
him
up
into
the
Room
,
without
so
much
as
acquainting
any
one
of
the
Company
that
Mr.
Cornish
had
a
desire
to
come
,
but
brings
him
up
as
if
he
were
(
and
I
make
no
doubt
but
you
will
imagine
,
he
was
)
one
of
the
Company
;
when
he
comes
there
,
he
says
his
business
is
with
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
the
Head
of
that
Conspiracy
,
and
he
himself
tells
you
he
never
had
any
dealings
with
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
in
his
life
;
What
can
a
man
imagine
of
that
man
that
had
no
dealing
with
the
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
to
find
him
out
in
a
place
,
where
no
mortal
could
know
,
and
none
was
to
know
,
and
coming
to
him
at
that
time
and
at
that
place
,
under
those
circumstances
of
concealment
,
no
man
almost
but
out
of
his
own
mouth
must
believe
that
he
was
privy
to
that
Conspiracy
,
therefore
though
this
Witness
doth
seem
to
forget
some
part
of
the
Evidence
,
the
reading
the
Declaration
,
and
holdding
the
Candle
;
yet
these
are
such
circumstances
that
in
themselves
do
carry
a
proof
of
the
Charge
,
and
do
confirm
all
the
rest
that
the
Witness
hath
said
,
and
this
must
be
a
great
satisfaction
to
you
,
that
he
was
there
present
and
privy
to
that
Design
.
And
so
I
leave
it
to
your
Consideration
.
Then
the
Jury
withdrew
for
a
short
time
,
and
returning
,
brought
Mr.
Cornish
in
Guilty
,
and
found
140.
l.
for
the
King
in
Mr.
Sheppards
hands
.

Set
Elizabeth
Gaunt

O
yes

up
thy

thou
standest
guilty
of
High-Treason
,
&c.
Recorder
.
You
Elizabeth
Gaunt
,
you
have
here
been
indicted
for
that
great
Crime
of
High-Treason
,
and
that
particular
part
of
it
,
for
harbouring
,
and
comforting
,
and
assisting
,
and
cherishing
of
Traytors
,
more
especially
of
one
Burton
;
you
have
had
your
Tryal
,
and
a
very
fair
Tryal
,
and
upon
that
,
the
Jury
have
found
you
Guilty
:
It
is
the
Duty
of
my
Place
to
pronounce
the
Sentence
the
Law
hath
provided
for
such
high
Crimes
as
these
are
,
and
that
is
no
other
but
this
,
That
you
are
to
be
carried
back
to
the
place
from
whence
you
came
,
from
thence
you
are
to
be
drawn
,
upon
a
Hurdle
,
to
the
place
of
Execution
,
and
there
you
to
be
burnt
to
death
,
and
the
Lord
have
mercy
upon
your
soul
.
Mrs.
Gaunt
.
I
say
that
this
Woman
did
tell
several
untruths
of
me
.
Recorder
.
Is
that
all
you
have
to
say
?
Mrs.
Gaunt
.
I
don't
understand
the
Law
.
Clerk
.
Bring
Henry
Cornish
to
the
Bar.
Henry
Cornish
,
hold
up
thy
hand
,
&c
Mr.
Cornish
.
My
Lord
,
now
the
Law
hath
past
upon
me
,
I
do
humbly
pray
your
Lordship
,
and
this
Honourable
Bench
,
that
you
would
be
pleased
to
intercede
for
me
with
his
Majesty
,
I
shall
lead
a
peaceable
,
quiet
and
dutiful
life
;
and
I
hope
,
when
you
come
to
reflect
upon
what
hath
been
said
to
day
,
that
perhaps
you
will
be
of
another
mind
,
and
have
more
Charity
for
me
than
you
had
upon
my
Tryal
,
for
,
in
the
simplicity
of
my
heart
,
and
in
the
presence
of
God
,
I
do
declare
,
I
am
innocent
,
and
if
your
Lordship
,
and
this
Honourable
Bench
,
intercede
with
his
Majesty
,
it
will
be
an
eternal
Obligation
upon
me
,
and
I
shall
live
faithfully
,
peaceably
and
loyally
as
long
as
I
live
:
I
presume
to
beg
this
,
and
I
promise
my self
,
and
hope
it
will
stir
up
the
hearts
of
some
Persons
,
that
they
will
not
leave
me
destitute
of
friends
in
such
a
Case
as
this
,
having
a
Wife
and
several
Children
,
it
will
be
an
act
of
Charity
.
Recorder
.
The
Court
does
give
you
your
request
,
and
if
there
be
any
misery
brought
upon
your
Family
,
it
is
done
by
your self
.
Clerk

William
Ring

&c.
Mr.

I

no
notice
given
me

your
Lordship

Recorder

Where
is
the
Executioner

is
he
here
?
Executioner
.
Yes

Recorder

Why
don't
you
do
your
Duty
to
Mr.
Cornish
?
Clerk

John
Fernley
,
hold
up
thy
hand
;
thou
standest
Convicted
of
High-Treason
,
for
Trayterously
harbouring
one
James
Burton
,
What
canst
thou
say
for
thy self
?
&c.
Mr.
Fernley
.
It
is
very
hard
measure
I
have
had
,
I
have
nothing
to
say
,
but
the
King's
mercy
.
Recorder
.
Is
that
all
you
have
to
say
?
Mr.
Fernley
.
I
have
nothing
,
but
the
King's
mercy
.
Recorder

Tye

O
yes
,
all

of
Persons
are
commanded
to

of
Imprisonment

Recorder
.
You
,
the
several
Prisoners
at
the
Bar
,
you
have
been
severally
indicted
here
of
the
High
Crime
of
Treason
;
for
you
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
I
apply
my self
first
to
you
,
your
crime
is
for
Treason
that
was
committed
in
his
late
Majesties
life
time
,
being
one
of
those
notorious
Conspirators
that
designed
to
raise
Rebellion
,
and
others
some
of
them
immediately
designed
the
life
of
his
Majesty
that
then
was
,
and
his
present
Majesty
,
that
was
the
design
of
some
of
them
;
and
others
,
they
had
another
part
,
that
was
,
to
raise
Rebellion
,
and
particularly
some
of
them
in
and
about
this
City
,
and
it
was
carried
on
some
time
before
it
was
discovered
,
may
be
a
year
or
more
,
under
colour
and
pretence
of
Law
:
For
so
did
they
invade
the
Government
,
first
of
all
by
packing
of
Juries
,
there
was
the
foundation
laid
whereby
to
bring
on
that
business
,
which
they
had
at
last
designed
,
when
they
could
bring
it
to
a
ripe
Head
.
Too
many
Persons
in
that
business
,
I
believe
,
were
very
busie
,
medling
with
that
that
they
had
not
to
do
with
,
Clubbing
and
Caballing
how
to
bring
their
Designs
about
,
in
opposition
to
the
Government
,
not
to
support
it
in
the
least
,
but
to
overthrow
it
if
it
were
possible
:
But
then
,
at
last
,
then
they
must
take
another
course
,
for
no
longer
could
they
carry
it
on
by
pretence
of
Law
,
as
you
,
have
heard
to
day
:
Now
we
must
take
other
measures
,
and
take
down-right
blows
.
This
is
the
business
,
Mr.
Cornish
,
that
you
have
been
indicted
for
;
and
,
I
must
tell
you
,
whatever
apprehensions
you
have
to
the
contrary
,
and
may
please
your self
in
,
I
am
sorry
to
see
such
a
sort
of
pleasure
in
your
Countenance
,
as
if
you
had
had
no
favour
shewed
you
.
I
believe
the
Court
hath
shewed
you
more
favour
,
and
had
more
patience
with
you
than
ever
any
man
that
stood
in
your
place
had
;
for
calling
a
Witness
after
the
Jury
hath
been
out
,
is
a
thing
I
never
saw
a
Precedent
for
:
And
I
am
glad
it
was
done
,
for
I
think
it
hath
clear'd
the
thing
beyond
all
manner
of
contradiction
,
before
it
looked
something
dark
for
want
of
Sheppard
,
and
so
it
is
a
happiness
that
that
man
was
called
,
to
convince
you
of
many
things
that
you
protested
so
solemnly
against
,
which
I
am
sorry
to
see
in
you
in
this
condition
that
you
are
,
to
make
such
solemn
Protestations
,
and
afterwards
to
call
a
Witness
to
confront
you
in
them
.
For
the
other
two
,
here
is
Mr.
Ring
is
very
notorious
for
harbouring
a
couple
of
Traytors
,
knowing
from
whence
they
came
;
and
if
it
were
not
for
such
Persons
as
these
are
,
that
do
harbour
them
when
they
fly
,
it
may
be
there
would
not
be
so
many
bold
Attempts
to
commit
such
Crimes
as
these
are
:
To
provide
for
them
,
and
nourish
them
,
and
comfort
them
,
after
they
have
committed
their
Villanies
,
this
does
encourage
them
to
commit
their
Villanies
as
they
do
,
and
so
I
reckon
harbourers
to
be
worse
than
Traytors
themselves
,
they
are
like
Receivers
to
Thieves
;
there
would
not
be
so
many
Traytors
,
if
there
were
no
Harbourers
:
You
have
been
Convicted
of
these
great
Crimes
,
it
is
too
late
,
and
not
fitting
to
spend
time
any
longer
,
but
to
Pronounce
the
several
Sentences
against
you
,
which
is
this
,
You
must
,
every
one
of
you
,
be
had
back
to
the
place
from
whence
you
came
,
from
thence
you
must
be
drawn
to
the
place
of
Execution
,
and
there
you
must
severally
be
hanged
by
the
necks
,
every
one
of
you
by
the
neck
'till
you
are
almost
dead
,
and
then
you
must
be
cut
down
,
your
Intrails
must
be
taken
out
and
burnt
before
your
faces
,
your
several
Heads
be
cut
off
,
and
your
bodies
divided
into
four
parts
,
and
those
to
be
disposed
of
at
the
pleasure
of
the
King
;
and
the
Lord
have
mercy
upon
your
Souls
.
