Had you any discourse with him concerning the matters of any of the Commissions of my Lord B●llasis and my Lord Powis Dr. Oates No my Lord I had but little skill in Military Affairs and therefore I said but little and I cannot give you an account word for word what the discourse was for it was out of my way My Lord there were several Letters which Mr. Langhorn writ to Father Le Cheese the Answers to which I saw in April and May whereupon the Fathers did desire they might have the Originals of those Copies He gave me the Originals to carry to the Fathers I think it was that very day I had been with him in the afternoon for I was with him in the morning the Fathers did read the Letters L. C. J. From whom came they Dr. Oates From Father le Cheese and from Father Anderton And le Cheese in his letter did assure him of his stedfastness and constancy to assist the Society for the carrying on the Cause And that they should not need doubt but the French King would stand by them or to that purpose I cannot remember exactly the words but it was to that effect L. C. J. But they were directed to Mr. Langhorn Dr. Oates I cannot Swear that directly but he gave them me L. C. J. Who were le Cheese and Anderton Dr. Oates The one was Confessor to the French King and the other Rector of the ●●lledge at Rome Mr. J. Atkins But you saw those in the Prisoners custody you say Dr. Oates Yes my Lord I did L. C. J. He gave them you to deliver to the Fathers to Whitebread and the Rest of them Dr. Oates Yes my Lord but I cannot say who they were directed to L. C. J. But pray repeat what was the substance of that Letter Dr. Oates My Lord as to the words of them I dare not charge my memory but ●● was to this purpose That Le Cheese would stand by the English Society and assist ●●em and that they should not need to doubt the French King or to that effect Mr. Belwood Do you remember any Letters that were writ by Mr. Coleman to Le Cheese Dr. Oates Yes my Lord I remember several Letters that Coleman writ but Mr. Langhorn was not affected in them Mr. Belwood Did he know of them Dr. Oates He gave an accompt in this letter to the Society that Coleman had wri●tters to Le Cheese and was very large and therefore he should not trouble his Re●●rence with any long Epistles Sir Cr. Levins What do you know of any money that was to be raised by the Bene●ctine Monks Dr. Oates I had forgot that L. C. J. You say that he said they should not need to doubt the French but he ●●uld stand by them with men and money for what purpose pray Dr. Oates Ile-tell you for what purpose it was the words of the letter did alledge to be for carrying on of the Cause Mr. Just Pemberton You mean the Catholick Cause Dr. Oates So it was generally understood L. C. J. But for the other money what say you Dr. Oates Mr. Langhorn was employed as Sol●citor for the Jesuits and did accom●●●y some of the Society Father Harcourt Father Fenwick Father Kaines and Father Langworth and they went and did communicate the Secret to the Benedictine Monks desiring them to stand by them with a Sum of money for the carrying on the ●●●sign now upon Mr. Langhorns solliciting them and appearing for them as I have ●●●rd 6000 l. was promised and paid L. C. J. By whom promised and paid Dr. Oates By the Benedictine Monks L. C. J. To whom Dr. Oates To the Society L. C. J. To what person Dr. Oates That I cannot say but it was said Mr. Langhorn was to receive it L. C. J. Did you see the money paid Dr. Oates No I did not L. C. J.

Sir Cr. Levins What was the 60000 l. for Dr. Oates It was for the general Cause Sir Cr. Levins For the murther of the King Dr. Oates Yes and for the alteration of Religion Lord Chief Just North. How did it appear that Mr. Langhorn was disgusted that Sir George Wakeman would not take the 10000 l and what was it for Dr. Oates It was to poison the King and he said he was a covetous man that it was in a publick Concern and that being it was to carry on the Cause it was no matter if he did it for nothing but he said he was a narrow spirited and a narrow soul'd Physician L. Ch. J. When was it that he said he would stir for the money Dr. Oates It was in July or in August Langhorn My Lord may I ask him any Questions Mr. Just Pemberton Yes yes Mr. Langhorn you may Lord Ch. Just North.

Levins Now my Lord if you please this was not one of those Commission that Mr. Langhorn did distribute to the persons that were to have them no he would let us have none of those but it is a Commission of another nature 't is neither for a● Office civil nor military but Ecclesiastical yet it is under the same Hand and Seal Langhorn You say you came to me the first time in November and you went t● St. Omers when Sir Dr. Oates The latter end of November Langhorn When arrived you at St. Omers Dr. Oates I think it was the 10th of December new Stile I will not be positive L. C. J. All their defence lies in Catches upon a point of time in which no m●● living is able to be positive Dr. Oates My Lord if the 26th of November fell upon a Monday then it was ●● the 26th day that I set out for Dover in the Coach as near as I can remember and got to St. Omers a Friday morning following Langh A Friday after you say you got to St. Omers Dr. Oates About that

C. J. Nay we must look to such a thing as that for it is by no means to be allowed of If your Lordship will but tell us who they are let us but know them and we will take care for the punishment of them for we will shew our selves just and fair and give them all the fair play that can be Mr. Just Pemberton Mr. Langhorn have you any more Witnesses Langhorn Call the woman that kept the white-horse-Tavern who stood up Lord Chief Just To what purpose do you call this woman Langhorn I desire my Lord to ask one Question of Mr. Oates touching the Consult at the white-horse Tavern in the Strand How many persons met there Dr. Oates Before that Question be asked I pray your Lordship would ask her when she came to the white-horse-Tavern to keep it Witness I don't keep it now L. C. J. When did you keep it Witness I kept it in June and I left it the beginning of July Dr. Oates She does not come to the time Lord Chief Just Did you keep it all the year before that Witness I kept it seven years before till July last Langhorn I would know of him How many might be there at that time L. C. J. What number of persons do you say met at that Consult Dr. Oates That Question if it please your Lordship hath no reference to this Trial neither is it at all material but because I have given the Prisoners so much freedom they impose upon me with questions Lord Chief Just 'T is a Question they cannot expect a precise Answer to from you But yet I would have you give them as satisfactory an Answer as you can what number there might be there at a time Dr. Oates My Lord I think there might be at the white-horse-Tavern at a time about eighteen or twenty Lord Chief Just Were they in one Room or in several Room Dr. Oates They were in two or three Rooms Witness Is this Mr. Oates my Lord L. C. J. Yes that he is L. C. J. Was there no body never in your Tavern but who you knew what can you tell all the people that were ever in your Tavern Witness The most of my Company were people that I knew L. C. J. What is your Company Witness Those that frequented my house L. C. J. Can you say who was in your house April 24 1678 Witness No my Lord I will not undertake that but I will give you as true an account as I can Langhorn I 'll tell you why I ask this Question Mr. Oates did say in his Depositions before the Lords there met fifty L. C. J. At several times in the day Langh But this must all be in the morning L. C. J. Who so suppose there met of that Company twenty in the morning and then some went away and others came in their Room and so they did for divers times in the day is not this properly said of me that there might be about fifty at that Consult Langhorn He saith in Colemans Trial there met fifty upon the 24th of April and afterwards they adjourned into lesser Colloquies Dr. Oates I say they met there the 24th day but the Consult was not dissolved till the 26th day at night Lord Chief Just North You must go only upon what is sworn now And we ask the Question upon your Proposal How many were there at a time and he says about eighteen or twenty at a time Now if he proves there were eighteen at one time twenty at another time and ten at another that makes about fifty L. C. J. Good woman is your house a little house Witness 'T is a small inconsiderable house there is not a Room in it that will hold above a dozen I never remembred so great a Company was in my house at one time but once in all my seven years and that was a Jury of the Parish and they could not be together but were divided into three Rooms Then there stood up a Stranger who was sworn L. C. J. Well Sir do you know the White Horse Tavern in the Strand 1 Witness Yes my Lord I do very well Lord Chief Just Do you know the biggest Room in the House 1 Witness Yes I do my Lord. Lord Chief Just How many my dine there 1 Witness It may be twenty people I have seen a dozen or sixteen there often Lord Chief Just Did you know the Tavern a year ago 1 Witness Yes my Lord this was a year ago Then a second witness stood up in the Court and said that twenty five or thirty might dine in one Room that was backward and another that was forward And a third attested that he was at a wedding and there did dine above twenty in one Room next the street Mr Recorder If she make a Jury to be in three Rooms that i but four in a Room Mr. Just Pemberton Those Juries are sixteen generally or more Langhorn My Lord I don't know this Tavern my self but I thought it very considerable if they had not a Room that would hold such a number as he spoke of fifty Lord Chief Just But you see how unfortunately it happens the matter had not been much if it had been proved but it is very unlucky that these persons should be here in Court by whom the other is contradicted it had been better it were never medled with That she should be so peremptory in what standers by know to be false makes this contradiction in one thing to give a suspicion that all your witnesses may be
