name was Hilsley and that they came up to London together That the Witness lay at Groves and there was a flaxen-hair'd Gentleman and Strange the late Provincial that lay there besides but that the Witness was charged to keep himself very close Groves in the mean time denying that Oates ever lay in his house and confessing that Strange did but not in either April or May. Mr. Whitebreads reply upon Dr. Oates was that Williams and Hilsley did come up to Town together and that Dr. Oates knew of it but that he was not with them nor could he be with them for he had no orders The Court did here very tenderly advise the Prisoners to bethink themselves as a very material point if they could make it out that Dr. Oates was not in England in April or May. Mr. Bedlow was now called and sworn and then examined what he knew of any Plot to kill the King and by whom who rendred this account That he had been near Five years a Carrier of Letters betwixt England and France for the Society and the English Monks in Paris That the first Letter he carried was from Mr. Harcourt who sent for him over being then a Lieutenant in Flanders about Michaelmass last was four years That the Witness visiting the English Nunnery at Dunkirk was kindly treated by the Lady Abbess who entertained him six weeks in the Convent and afterwards recommended him to Sir Iohn Warner as a person fit to be intrusted either with Letters or any thing else against England That after a fortnights stay Sir Iohn Warner sent him to Father Harcourts the next spring he sent him with several Letters into England and Mr. Harcourt gave him several dispatches from thence to Morton and Doway and other places That in 1676. he carried a Packet to the Monks at Paris which they communicated to the other English Monks in France to whom it was directed with a Letter in it to La Chaise from Harcourt Prichard and Cary. That upon the receipt of this Packet there past a Consultation betwixt La Chaise some Monks and a French Bishop or two by whom mention was made as Stapleton an English Monk told the Witness of a Letter from the Lord Bellasis and other Catholicks in the Plot shewing in what condition affairs stood in England That from the English Monks at Paris the Witness was sent with a Packet addressed to Mr. Vaughan of Courtfield in Monmouthshire That Mr. Bedlow went from thence to Pontois and carried other Letters from thence into England which he opened and found to be only Prayers for the success of the design and an earnest intreaty not to fail meeting at the Warwick-shire Consult That May 25. 1677. The Witness carried over an other Packet and delivered some Letters to the English Nuns at Bruges and Ghent That coming to Doway the Monks Sheldon Stapilton and Latham being gone the Witness hastened after them and overtook them at Cambray That the intent of these Letters was to give notice of what had passed in a Consult at Summerset-House about the destroying the Protestant Religion that there was great joy in Cambray at the News and at Paris the Witness was informed that the Lord Bellasis blamed them for not keeping touch with England Stapleton telling the Witness that neither my Lord nor the Society in England had any reason to blame them for they had their Men Mony and Armies in readiness upon any occasion from thence the Witness was dispatcht into Spain to an Irish Father whom he overtook at La Mora and from thence he went to Salamanca and St. Iago and so came back into England and Landed at Milford Haven That the Witness passed thence to London and delivered the Letter to Mr. Harcourt that he did not look into the Contents of it but knew that it tended to the same purpose with the rest and to the advancing of the Plot. That he was afterwards sent by Harcourt and Coleman with Letters to some Papists in England That in the beginning of August last there was a close Consult at Mr. Harcourts as this Witness was informed by Pritchard That it was a Plot upon the Kings life and that Pickering and Grove had been long about it but that for fear of failing there were four Ruffians to be imployed that would do it at Windsor and that the next day Mr. Coleman would inform the Witness of the success That Pritchard told him further that some being sent to Windsor Mr. Coleman was following them having given a Guiny to the Menssenger that carried them their mony And moreover that the Witness demanded why they kept him so long a stranger to the design they answered him that it was the Societies Resolve and the Lord Bellasis's Order that none but those of the Society and the Actors in the Conspiracy should be made privy to it That about the latter end of August as he believes the Witness coming to Harcourts Chamber found Ireland there Pritchard Pickering and Grove That their discourse was that since the Ruffians could not dispatch the King Pickering and Grove should take in Conyers and try if they could snap him in his morning walk at Newmarket That they were all of them eager upon it and especially Grove who said that if it could not be done by surprize it must be openly and that at the worst it would be an honourable miscarriage and that in spight of all discoveries the party was yet strong enough to bring it about The Witness swears also that Fogarthy and Harcourt were there and that Ireland Grove Pickering and the rest heard all this That Harcourt promised the Witness a considerable reward Grove to have 1500 l. if he came off and to be the favourite of the Church Pickering to have as many Masses at twelve pence a piece as would come to that mony Ireland denies that ever he saw Bedlow before that time in the Court and bade him produce a Witness if he could that he had ever spoken to him Mr. Bedlow was examined what he could say of the rest and his answer was that he charged only those three that as to Whitebread that he had heard he was deep in the Plot but did not know it and only knew him by sight but that Whitebread and Fenwick had been at many Consultations Mr. Bedlow came now to speak to Groves agreement and the 1500 l. His evidence was that Grove was to put it into a Friends hand but he knew not his name nor the certain time of their agreement Ireland affirms that he was not in London the whole month of August and offers to prove by twenty Witnesses that he was in Staffordshire from one end of the month to the other and desires that Mr. Bedlow would name the place and the Company where ever they were together Mr. Bedlow replyed that he did not pretend to a
time when he affirms that he was in England for he was often with Mr. Poole when he was sick which Mr. Poole was the Witnesse's Musick-Master That he went away in Iuly and never stirr'd from S. Omers till he went quite away That the Witness was there also till Dr. Oates went which was after the Consult of the Jesuits which he affirms to have been in April and himself to have been at The Witnesse's jumbling of the Months caused the people to laugh and the Witness still persisted that Dr. Oates was at S. Omers till the Jesuits Consult was over He informed that he came thither and was onely one night out of the House at Watton all the time he was there That he did not goe away with Mr. Hilsley for a Gent. that was going that day for England being loth to rise Dr. Oates told a story of him how loth he was to leave his bed which was the day after Hisley went away The other Gent. went upon the 5. of May and Mr. Poole and Mr. Nevil who he says were with him in England were neither of them absent at that time That Dr. Oates was at S. Omers all May and Iune The Witness being prest to name the month when D. Oates came away he said he could not remember it Mr. Thomas Billing informed that he came about 3 months since from S. Omers that he knew Dr. Oates very well and saw him at S. Omers the very day or the day after that he came thither the 10. of December and that he continued there till toward the end of Iune never out of the House but once at Watton in Christmas this Witness being then in the Infirmary and Dr. Oates came in saying that he had been at Watton That he had been twice in the Infirmary and the second time was in April where as the Witness remembers he was 3 or 4 days that he saw him in the Colledge from December till about the end of Iune That he was there all May and could not be 8 days in England as he says for being entred into the Sodality March 25. he was appointed to read at six a clock every Sunday morning and after he had begun he read constantly in course till he went away for he was never sick on a Sunday in April but somewhat indisposed so that he went to the Infirmary upon occasion for some 3 or 4 days and once in 2 or 3 days the Witness constantly saw him That upon the second of May he saw him with Mr. Blunt in the Garden and also with one Mr. Rushton by certain tokens Mr. Townley informed that he knew Oates and saw him in April May and Iune Dr. Oates departed from S. Omers about the 10. of Iune he believeth that he saw him every other day for all April and all May for sitting at a single Table as he did he might be easily mist. Mr. Fall informed that he came from S. Omers some 2 months agoe that he saw Dr. Oates about Christmas was twelvemonth and so from that time till Iune save while he was at Watton This Witness hath been in the Convent 2 years and a half Mr. Iohn Hall informeth that he came from S. Omers in Iuly 1678. having been there above 7 years that he saw Dr. Oates there in April May and till about the 23. of Iune the Witness taking a more particular notice of him by serving as a Butler and laying the Table and drawing Beer and the like serving Dr. Oates himself most days That he came away for his health beginning to be ill at Christmas 77.

One Bartlet a Dutchman but speaking a little English informed that he came from S. Omers May 23. 78. new stile that Sir Iohn Warner was at Watton all April and May and that he was there himself and saw Sir Iohn there that he had been some five or six weeks in England and came over about the latter end of Iune But Bartlet being minded that he said the 23. of May before he excused himself that he thought the question had been ask'd concerning Dr. Oates's coming over which he heard of beyond seas Mr. Tisser was then sworn to be a true Interpreter to one Carlier a Witness for the Prisoners that could not speak English Mr. Tisser informs that Carlier came into England about seven or eight weeks since and that he was for the last two years in Watton that he was the last Sunday in April and all May at his house there the Witness having been his Gardener Then Mr. Tisser stood Interpreter for another Witness Charles Verron who speaks no English Verron says that Sir Iohn Warner was at Watton all April and May was twelve-month and so till September and the Witness affirms it for he passes with a Vessel between S. Omers and Watton and for the most part sees Sir Iohn every day and that the Witness is of the Roman Religion Bailleé a servant to Sir Iohn Warner informs also that Sir Iohn was all April and May was twelve-month at Watton and that he being a Mason Sir Iohn gave him Directions about a Building and look'd after the doing of it himself Iohn Ioseph informs that he knows Sir Thomas Preston and that he saw him almost every day in April May and Iune or however 2 or 3 days in a week That the Witness was Porter of the Gate to the English House at Liege where Sir Thomas Preston was in the months of April May and Iune But that
he saw him That the Witness saw him some six weeks after in a long black Coat and Perriwigg That he was sure it was Dr. Oates and that he told his Master of it soon after Mr. Smith was sworn and informed that he knew Dr. Oates being Usher of Merchant-Taylors School and Dr. Oates his Scholar there That he saw him at dinner at his own house in Islington at the beginning of May 1678 the first Monday in May as he remembred swearing this positively and that he was with him three or four hours after dinner in coloured Ribbands and a green Knot upon his shoulder That their discourse was about his Travells and nothing at all about the Times That he knew he had chang'd his Religion and that he saw him not in two months after Mr. Clay was sworn and informed that the first knowledge he had of Dr. Oates was about April last was twelvemonth at Mr. Charles Howard's in a corner of Old Arundel House where he met him by chance upon a Visit to Mr. Howard as an acquaintance and friend and that he saw him there the second time in May also but the day he could not say nor whether he saw him afterwards or not but that Dr. Oates in Court was the person he saw there Dr. Oates offering to the court that Mr. Clay was a Priest in Orders but that question was not put to him onely he own'd himself to be a Papist Mr. Whitebread's plea was that urging Dr. Oates at the last Triall to name any one that he had seen in Town he could not name any body And so likewise afterwards at the Committee he told that the Prisoner lay privately at Grove's and the Prisoner can prove that he never lay there at all and then he was positive that he stay'd here but six days and saw little company Now the Evidence affirms that at the end of March or the middle of April he saw him here and yet Dr. Oates himself declares that he passed the Sea with Hilsley the twenty fourth of April If he landed in England the seventeenth of April as is said and continued here a good part of May how can this stand with his being in England but six days The Prisoners were answered that the precise day was not so punctually sworn to so that Dr. Oates might be seen here the latter end of April and the beginning of May and yet his Testimony stand good Mr. Gavan offered to the Court that the Evidence against them spake onely to one or two particular days one to his Dining with him and another to his Disguise and that in the very Evidence there was a manifest Contradiction for he could not come over with Hilsley as he said he did and appear here in May and all this within six days That it might be farther considered also the disproportion in the Number of the Witnesses sixteen for the Prisoners and such as conversed with Dr. Oates every day Or allowing that a less Number for the King should weigh down a greater Number on the part of the Prisoners the Exception to his Evidence about the Rectour of Liege Sir Iohn Warner and Sir Thomas Preston remains yet untouch'd Or supposing a Mistake in what concerns Dr. Oate's being at S. Omers there are yet six that prove he has sworn false And the Prisoner humbly represented that no body ought to be condemned but upon two sufficient Witnesses And after all that Mr. Ireland was prov'd to have been out of London from August 3. to September 14 by at least 16 Staffordshire Witnesses Which two points remain without Answer for Dr. Oates says that he was with him here August 12. when they agree that he was in Staffordshire As to the Maid she onely says that she saw him without speaking to him The Prisoner here appealing to the Honour and Conscience of the Court how far to believe a Witness that hath even in one point falsify'd And then there is Sir Iohn Southcott and his Family that give an account of Mr. Ireland in the Country from August 5. to the 19. which was after the precise day that the Maid speaks of in London There are seven or eight of them that agree upon the seeing of him from the first day to the last And whereas it is objected in the business of Iuly that the Prisoner's Witnesses speak positively onely to the last week the Prisoner offers that they rather incline to think him there the other weeks also then not and that being shut up in the Last they took a more particular notice of him He minded the Court also of the Evidence of Mr. Ashby's coming to Town about Mid-Iuly and of the Prisoner's coming likewise within the fortnight which Mr. Ashby staid and of the Prisoner's saying he would wait upon Father Ashby where the discourse past that he speaks of adding that he is neither prov'd to have been at the Great Consult nor Capable of it appealing to Mr. Harcourt and the rest whether he were there or not and upon the word of a dying man denying it As to the Prisoner's name being to it which is laid in Iuly he proves himself in Staffordshire the last Week of that Month and has Evidences of being there till the 14. and the last Week which he hoped would be considered He mov'd farther whether standing accused by one Witness about one Fact in London and by another concerning another Fact in Staffordshire these two Witnesses are to be reckoned good in Law But this being already resolved in Sir Henry Vane's Case where severall Witnesses prov'd severall Facts in severall Countries and yet all overt Acts of one and the same Treason Mr. Gavan suggested that Serjeant Rolls was of another Opinion Mr. Gavan's second Plea was grounded upon the Circumstances of Credible Witnesses and of Clear Evidence but that in his Case there was neither the one nor the other and therefore that he ought not to be convicted by such a Witness and upon such an Evidence Wherein the Court informed him that they were Lawfull Witnesses because not convict of any crime to destroy their Testimony and for the Credibility of them that was left to the Iury. Whereupon the Prisoner addressed himself to the Iury to this following effect That his Life was in their hands That he was not at the Consult nor of age to be there That to the making of a Credible Witness there must be Integrity of Life and Truth of Testimony That Dr. Oates was turned out of S. Omers as a Person of ill Moralls That in Sir Iohn Warner's Sir Thomas Preston's and the business of Mr. Ireland's being here August 12. he is unanswerably disporv'd And that though he be not convicted of Perjury he might have been so that there was enough before them to shake his Testimony And then in Mr. Ireland's business betwixt August 8. and 12. how many Proofs of his being in Staffordshire to one Woman that says
in all as Father Williams Father March the Rector of Liege Sir Iohn Warner and that he could not name any more The Prisoner objecting to him that the Names of all the rest were in the Record of the Lords-house Dr. Oates referred him to the Record The Prisoner ask'd him also If Sr. Tho. Preston and Poole came over with him and the Witness said they did To the Objection that this was but a Repetition of what was proved the day before the Prisoner humbly offered That the Trial of the day before was in another County and by another Iury and therefore he presumed in his own defence to urge this in which liberty he was not debarr'd The Witness said also that he thought Sir Robert Brett was there The Prisoner express'd the drift of his Questions to be only this to see if Dr. Oates would now affirm what he swore in the Lords House Dr. Oates telling him that he might produce that Record and the Court allowing that a sworn copy of that Record would be good Evidence The Prisoner ask'd if the Witness came from Dover by Coach or on Horseback Dr. Oates replied that it was a sudden question but that as he remembers he came by Coach The Prisoner then giving the Reason of his Question because upon a Trial at the Kings Bench the Witness said he came in a Coach with Mr. Hilsley Mr. Oates declaring that they came over together in the Boat but upon Landing they parted Mr. Langhorne ask'd him where he lodged at his coming into Town and his Answer was that when he came in April he lay at Mr. Groves but being ask'd where he lay the first night Dr. Oates could not speak certainly to that but in general that he lay there and as he remembers some three or four nights Dr. Oates swears that he acquainted Mr. Langhorne with the Consult within a day or two after it that he returned to St. Omers as he believ'd the first week in May. And being then told that he had said the day before that his stay there was but six days he said that was a mistake for he said under twenty The Prisoner demanded if Dr. Oates saw him write those Letters he spake of He said No but he knew his hand for he saw an Order of his for the paying of Money to his Sons and the Money was paid upon that Order The Prisoner demanded if he could say that La Chaise or Anderton ever wrote to him to which Dr. Oates Answer'd That he had Letters subscribed with their Names and that Langhorne himself told him that they came from them and that they were to be imparted to Priests and Iesuites and that he delivered those Letters to the Witness to that end The Prisoner desired to Know how long he staid at St. Omers Dr. Oates told him till Iune 23 New style The Prisoner then demanded seeing him to be come over from the Church of Rome to the Church of England when it was that he went over from the Church of England to that of Rome and if he was then Beneficed The Time Dr. Oates told him was in February or March 1676 7 and that he was for some time in a Vicaridge at Bobbing in Kent and that he came to that Vicaridge in 1672. Mr. Langhorne taking notice that he turn'd Papist in 1677 ask'd him whether or no he had left his Living first Dr. Oates answer'd That he had left the place not very long before for the Air did not agree with him besides that he had other private Reasons for leaving it Mr. Langhorne ask'd if turning Papist he became a Iesuite also because he says in his Narrative There came nine of us over All Iesuites The Court told him first that it was not a fair Question and then that what he offered was no Evidence The Prisoner then ask'd the Witness if he had ever been in his Company since that business in his Chamber of the Consult and Commissions Dr. Oates made answer he had been twice with him about the time of the Consult and twice or thrice after his coming over again Mr. Bedloe is Sworn MR. Bedloe declares upon a question concerning a Writing signed by the Superiour of the Iesuites that he had it at Mr. Daniel Arthurs and that finding it to agree with the Hand and Seal that he had observed upon Commissions in Paris he presented it to the Council Let the Reader observe here that this was a business only of a private Concern The Witness swears to this effect That he had no familiarity with Mr. Langhorne but some three years since being entrusted by Mr. Harcourt and Coleman with certain Letters to La Chaise Mr. Coleman carried him to Mr. Langhorne's Chamber who there Entred them and they were then sealed up by Mr. Coleman who delivered them to the VVitness to carry them The Letters being written at Mr. Colemans and only Registred by Mr. Langhorne Some of these Letters were read in Court at Mr. Colemans Trial. The scope of them was only to inform La Chaise that he wanted nothing but Money now in England to accomplish the work and to learn what supplies they might expect from France That the Catholicks were safe in England all places of Trust in their hands or at least in such as were well inclined and that considering the conjuncture of the present Power of the French King and a general disposition of Circumstances here there never was so fair an occasion of accomplishing their ends This was to Father Stapylton in English But the other to the Nuncio and La Chaise were in French and to the same purpose Mr. Langhorne Copied these before the Witness He went into his Study and wrote while Mr. Coleman and the Witness walked in the Chamber The Witness declared that there was not a penny of Money in this business but some way or other past his Accounts The Witness cannot say that ever Mr. Langhorne spake to him expressly of the Kings death but only of the Main design The Witness was with him a second time about a year and half since and it was from Harcourt for the Registring of another pacquet of Letters He took the Pacquet and without much heeding the Messenger sent word to Mr. Harcourt that Mr. Williams a Name that this Witness was known by had brought him some Letters which he would return again the next day as soon as he had Coppy'd them That Mr. Harcourt shew'd this Witness the Answer In this Pacquet there were two Letters one says the VVitness that he brought out of Spain from Sir William Godolphin directed to the Lord Bellassis which was sent to Mr. Langhorne some three weeks after to be Entred the Other from the Irish Iesuites in Salamanca directing that the rest of the Lords concerned and the whole Popish Party in England should be in readiness for they had now gotten some Irish
