then an Army to have appear'd to have cut off those that might escape the Massacre that these Consultations were in Staffordshire one at Tixal another at Boscobel at my Lord Aston's and Mr. Gerrard's Also that Mr. Ewers received a Letter on Munday dated on Saturday from Mr. Harcourt which did express and begin thus This very night Sir Edmondbury Godfrey is dispatched with some other words of like Import Then Mr. Prance deposed that he was told by the Lord Butler that one Mr. Messenger a Gentleman of the Horse to the Lord Arundel of VVarder was by him imployed and the Lord Powis to kill the King for a good Reward That Mr. Harcourt in his hearing said that the King was to be killed by several And that Fenwick said Mr. Langhorn was to have a great hand in it That then an Army of 50000 Men was to be raised and governed by the Lords Arundel and Powis to rain the Protestants and settle the Catholick Religion whereof he hath heard Fenwick Ireland and Grove speak at the same time together Then for the Proof of the particular matters of the Indictment Dr. Oates was sworn who deposed That in April 1677 he went into Spain and in September following Mr. Langhorn's Sons came thither the one a Scholar of the English Colledg at Madrid the other of the English Colledg at Valladolid to study Philosophy in order to their receiving of the Priesthood That in November following he returned into England and brought Mr. Langhorn Letters from his Sons which he delivered soon after his Arrival to him telling him at the same time that he believ'd his Sons would both enter into the Society whereat Mr. Langhorn seem'd mightily pleased saying that by so doing they might quickly come to Preferment in England for that things would not last long in the posture they were in That in the latter end of November he returning to St. Omers Mr. Langhorn deliver'd to him a Pacquet to carry thither wherein when it was opened he saw a Letter from him to the Fathers giving them thanks for their care and kindness towards his Sons promising them to repay them their charges of his Son's Journey into Spain which was 20 l. telling them that he had writ to Father Le Chese in order to their Concerns saying that Mr. Coleman had been very large with him and therefore it would not be necessary for him to trouble his Reverence with any large Epistles at that time which Letter he saw not only this account of it That there was in March or April after another Letter from Mr. Langhorn to the Fathers at St. Omers about an extravagant Son of his wherein he also express'd his great care for the carrying on of the Design of the Catholicks and that the Parliament began now to flag in promoting the Protestant Religion and that now they had a fair Opportunity to begin and give the Blow That in April or May when the Consult was to which several of them came over from St. Omers and at which tho Mr. Langhorn was not present yet that he had Orders from the Provincial to give him an account of what Resolutions and Passages and Minutes pass'd and this he did as well as he could telling him who went Procurator to Rome which was one Father Cary that several of the Fathers were to be admonished for their irregular living as they termed it and that it was resolv'd that the King should be kill'd that Pickering and Grove should go on to do it for which Grove was to have 1500 l. and Pickering 30000 Masses upon the hearing of which Mr. Langhorn lift up his Hands and Eyes and prayed God that it might have good Success That then he saw in Mr. Langhorn's Chamber seven or eight Commissions whereof there were about fifty by Virtue of a Breve from the Pope directed to the General of the Society and signed 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Johannes Paulus de Oliva those he saw were for the Lord Arundel to be Lord Chancellor of England the Lord Powis to be Lord High Treasurer the Lord Bellasis to be General the Lord Peter to be Lieutenant General the Lord Stafford to be Pay-Master or some such office in the Army Mr. Coleman to be Secretary of State and Mr. Langhorn to be Advocate of the Army That he saw the Answers of Le Cheese and Anderton who was Rector of the Colledg at Rome to Mr. Langhorn's Letters to them and carried the Originals of them to the Fathers who requested them from Mr. Langhorn wherein Le Chese did assure him of his Stedfastness and Constancy to assist the English Society for the carrying on the Cause And that they should not need doubt but the French King would stand by them That Mr. Langhorn was employed as Solicitor for the Jesuits and went with Harcourt Fenwick Keines and Langworth and communicated the Secret to the Benedictine Monks desiring them to stand by them with a Sum of Money for the carrying on the Design upon which as he heard that 6000 l. was promised and that Mr. Langhorn was to receive it which though he could not prove that he had yet that he was sure he was much disgusted that Sir George Wakeman was not contented with 10000 l. to poison the King saying 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 was a narrow-spirited and a narrow-soul'd Physician That Mr. Langhorn also did know of 800000 Crowns come to France for England from the Congregation at Rome Then Mr. Bedloe being sworn there was as a Confirmation of what Dr. Oates had deposed concerning the Commissions an Instrument produced found by Mr. Bedloe in searching Mr. Arthur's Study a Papist a good while after Dr. Oates had given his Testimony publickly signed and seal'd just as the Commissions were He then deposed that about three Years since he was sent by Mr. Harcourt and Mr. Coleman with Letters to Le Chese that the Letters were writ at Coleman's House and brought open by Mr. Coleman to Mr. Langhorn's Chamber in the Temple where the Prisoner read and registred them and then Coleman sealing them up gave them to him to carry away The effect of which was to let Le Chese know that they waited only now for his Answer how far he had proceeded with the French King for sending of Mony for they only wanted Mony all other things were in readiness That the Catholicks of England were in safety had made all Places and all Offices to be disposed of to Catholicks or such as they thought would be so that all Garisons were either in their own Hands or ready to be put into them that they had so fair an Opportunity having a King so easy to believe what was dictated to him by their Party that if they slipp'd this Opportunity they must despair of ever

Meetings was upon the account of carrying on the Conspiracy and discoursing about the Condition the Conspirators were in As to the intended Insurrection he said If he could but see a Cloud at big as a Man's Hand he would not be wanting to employ his Interest That the Prisoner also had told him that he intended to take an House near the Tower to place Men in in order to surprize it to that end he held correspondence with some Sea-Captains and that he had been with them at Coffee-Houses Mr. Richard Goodenough deposed That being in company with the Prisoner he had heard him approve of the Design and promise to use his Interest in raising Men and not only to be assisting in the Division allotted him but in surprising the City Savoy c. and in driving the Guards out of Town Then the Prisoner called several Witnesses to invalidate Lee's Testimony Sir Robert Adams testified to a false Report of his about beating three Knights Sir Simon Lewis was called to the same purpose but appeared not James Child could say nothing but that Lee was an Honest Man One Baker was also call'd to testify that Lee would have suborned him against the Prisoner to his Prejudice some Years since of which he had made Affidavit before Sir William Turner But Baker not appearing Sir William Turner was desired to give account of it but it being above two Years since he could not remember such Particulars His Clerk Mr. Tomkins remembred such an Affidavit was made in 1682 which mention'd Mr. Lee but to the best of his remembrance it was returned before the King and Council and he could not give any account of the Particulars Mr. Bateman then desiring to know upon what Statute he was Indicted and being assisted by his Son by reason of his Incapacity making little more Defence the Ld. Ch. Justice of the King's-Bench summ'd up the Evidence and other Prisoners were tried and just before the Jury went out the aforesaid Baker being found with much ado it was obtain'd that he should give in his Evidence which was That Lee perswaded him to intrude himself into the Prisoner's Company and some others and to discourse of State-Affairs by which means he would find a way to make him a Man of which he had made Affidavit before Sir William Turner But this the Court interpreted to Lee's Advantage as if he only thereby designed to make a discovery of the Plot and so have got a further Evidence to corroborate his own reflecting on Baker as a broken Fellow c.

That he had heard his Brother Thomas Jennison in Discourse use that Expression which Dr. Oates hath in his Narrative If C. R. would not be R. C. he should not be long R. C. Interpreting it thus in Latin Si Carolus Rex non esset Rex Catholicus non foret diu Carolus Rex Asserting further That if the King were excommunicated he were no longer King and it were no Sin to take him off and if it were discover'd who did it two or three might suffer but denying the Fact the Matter soon would be blown over That about two Months after the Mustering upon Hounslow-Heath about the latter end of July and before the Discovery his Brother told him of a Design in which the Queen and the Duke and several Lords were concerned and that a new Army would be raised to bring in Popery but he would not tell him more Particulars till he had received the Sacrament of Secresy He told him that one Mr. Oates also a Person newly come over to them was in this Design which Oates he saw the latter end of April or beginning of May in Mr. Ireland's Chamber About the time of Coleman's Trial he heard also one Mr. Cuffil a Jesuit say at his Sister Hall's in Berk-shire in Shinfield-Parish That he thought Mr. Coleman was infatuated upon the Discovery of the Plot to give notice to Harcourt Ireland and Fenwick and the other Jesuits to burn or secture their Papers and yet not to secure his own Then saying also that Bellarmine did draw this Sentence out of the Scripture to favour the Pope's Authority of Excommunicating Depriving and Deposing Temporal Princes Quod Papa habeat eandem potestatem super Reges quam Jehojads habuit super Athaliam and that there were other corroborating Testimonies among the Fathers for it After tins the Records of the Attainder of Coleman

General then summ'd up the Evidence and Serj. Jefferies and the Ld. Ch. Justice gave the Charge to the Jury who desired the Opinion the Court since the Prisoner had been impeached whether they were compellable by Law to give a Verdict in this Case upon him To which The Ld. Ch. Justice said That the Vote of the Commons viz. That the Prisoner should not be tried in any other Inferior Court could not alter the Law and that the Judges of this Court had conference with all the other Judges concerning this Matter and it was the Opinion of all the Judges of England that this Court had a Jurisdiction to try this Man After which Justice Jones was of Opinion That if the Prisoner were acquitted on this Indictment it might be pleaded in Bar to the Impeachment Justice Dolben and Justice Raymond declared they were of the same Opinion The Jury withdrew for half an hour and then brought the Prisoner in Guilty And on Wednesday June 15. 1681. the Ld.

Rely and Col. Bourne being sent from the French King into Ireland with a Commission to muster as many Men as they could promising to send an Army of 40000 Men to land at Carlingford on St. Lewis-day to destroy all Protestants and set up the French King's Authority And one Edmond Angle a Justice of Peace and Clerk of the Crown sent for all the Rebels abroad in the North to come up into the County of Longford and they marched into the head Town of the County and fired it the Inhabitants fled into the Castle but Angle being shot the Rebels fled and carried with them all the Papers Angle had in his Pocket Hereupon Col. Bourne became suspected and was imprison'd and Col. Rely fled into France and the Plot lay under a Cloud till the Prisoner came to be Primate which he got by the French King's help upon his promising to prepare things in Ireland for his Interest and that about 10 or 11 Years ago in the first Year of his Primacy when the Prisoner came to the Friery at Armagh he being there one Quine told him That they thought Duffy would have been Primate said he 't is better as it is for Duffy hath not the wit to do those things that I have undertaken to do That he had heard the Prisoner own himself to be made Primate by the Pope and that he writ himself Oliverus Armacanus Primat Metropolitanus totius Hiberniae and had made Warrants sub paena suspensionis for his Priests to pay Mony for to supply the French Army and to let him know how many there were in all their Parishes from sixteen to sixty And that he had seen him going from Port to Port and that he pitch'd on Carlingford as most convenient for the French to land at Henry O-Neal deposed That in August 1678 Bishop Tyrril came with 40 odd Horse-Men to Vicar-General Brady's House where he gave them all the Oath of Secrecy to forward the Plot against the Protestants whom he said they would make an end of from end to end in Ireland in one hour and that he should have an Order for it from the Lord Oliver Plunket and that he and Plunket had sent Mony into France to get Men and to bring them into Ireland Neal O-Neal deposed the same he also being at that time at Vicar Bradey's House being August 21. 1678. Owen Murfey only swore That Lieutenant Baker told him That Mr. Edmond Murfey did discover the Plot to him that there was a Design to bring in the French but of his own Knowledg he could say nothing Hugh Duffy deposed That he had seen several of the Prisoner's Orders to raise Mony and had collected some for him being Curate of Cogham and a Fryer and had by his Order returned him also a list of the Age of every Person in his Parish from 16 to 60 and that he accompanied him when he view'd the Port of Carlingford which he thought most convenient for landing the French and had seen his Letter in France to Cardinal Bovillon that he should prevail with that King not to invade Spain but rather wage War with the King of England who had been an Apostate and help their poor Country that was daily tormented with Heretical Jurisdiction That he was present at a great Consult near Clouds where the Prisoner was Chief and gave special Order for a List to be got of all the Officers in the late Rebellion and that lost their Estates because they would be more forward in this Design That he himself was forward
should be any Disturbance for they valued their Riches more than their Cause And at Oxford that he heard my Lord say again He wondred the People of England should stickle so much about Religion if he were to choose a Religion he would have one that should comply with what was apt to carry on their Cause Mr. John Smith deposed That he had often both in publick and private heard the Lord Shaftsbury speak very irreverently and slightly of the King saying He was a weak Man an inconstant Man of no firm or settled Resolution easily led by the Nose as his Father was before him by a Popish Queen which was the Ruin of his Father And that the King should declare That the Earl of Shaftsbury was not satisfied to be an ill Man himself but got over the E. of Essex too And that he was the chief promoter of the Rebellion in Scotland which when it was told him that he should send back word to the King That he was glad that the King saw not his own Danger But if he were to raise a Rebellion he could raise another-guess Rebellion than was that in Scotland One time particularly being sent for to the Lord Shaftsburies expressing his jealousy of the Irish Witnesses being drawn over to the Court-Party and retracting what they had said he order'd him to persuade them from going nigh that Rogue Fitz-Gerald maintain'd by the King and Court-Party to stifle the Plot in Ireland Saying also That when he was in the Tower he told some he saw Popery coming in and that it was hard to prevent it And that if the King were not as well satisfied with the coming in of Popery as ever the D. of York was the D. would not be so much concern'd about it as he was Afterwards having executed my Lord's Order one Mr. Bernard Dennis gave in an Information before Sir Patience Ward Lord-Mayor against Fitz-Gerald that he had tamper'd with him to forswear all he had sworn before the Copy of which Information he brought to the Lord Shaftsbury who when he had read it was very well pleased with it and said Mr. Smith don't you see the Villany of that Man and that factious Party and that the King runs the same steps as his Father did before him for that nothing of this Nature could otherwise be done I says he these are the very Steps that his Father followed when he was led by his Popish Queen and the poor Man doth not see his Danger Another time before the Parliament went to Oxford in discourse my Lord was saying to him That there was great Preparations made and a great many gathered together upon the Road between London and Oxford which he said was to terrify the Parliament to comply with the King's Desire which he was sure they never would for that the King aimed to bring in Popery But said he we have this Advantage of him if he offer any Violence to us for we expect it that we have the Nation for us and we may lawfully oppose him for it has been done in former Times and he will meet with a very strong Opposition for all that come out of the Country shall be well Hors'd and well Arm'd and so we shall be all and as old as he was that he would be one that would oppose to his Power and die before he would ever bring in Popery or any thing of that Nature Then Mr. Brian Haines deposed That he had often heard the Lord Shaftsbury vilify the King And that he and Mr. Ivey going to him one day about the Narrative he made of Sir Edmondbury Godfrey's Death he desired him not to expose his Person to the King's Anger because he was sure he would never grant a Pardon to any Man that impeached the Earl of Danby Says he Do not fear if he does not grant you a Pardon he makes himself the Author of the Plot and says he the Earl of Essex the Lord Maxfield and I we do all resolve if you 'l put in a Writing we will go to the King and beg a Pardon of him for you which if he does not grant we will raise the whole Kingdom against him for he must not expect to live peaceably in his Throne it he doth not grant it and this is the best Pretence we can have in the World we are prepar'd to raise Arms against him And after having heard a Pardon could not be had being begg'd for by the two Mr. Godfries he praying my Lord for a little Mony to help him to go beyond-Sea because he was sure he could not be safe in England My Lord told him the King durst as well be hang'd as meddle with him And one Day he being in Conference and giving my Lord an exact Account of Transactions having been a Traveller he asked my Lord What Model of Government was designed if they pulled the King down Says he Do you think there are no Families in England that have as much pretence to the Crown as any of the Stewarts Says he There is the Duke of Bucks that is descended of the Family of the Plantagenets one of the Edwards by his Mother and in her Right he should have the Barony of Ross and has as good a Title to the Crown of England as ever any Stewart had Then John Macnamarra being sworn deposed That he being with the Lord Shaftsbury after his return from the Parliament at Oxford concerning some Provision for the Witnesses he heard him express himself That the King was Popishly Affected and did adhere to Popery taking the same Methods that his Father before him took which brought his Father's Head to the Block and that they would also bring his thither and that he had told some Persons of Quality that this would fall out five Years before And at the same time that he said the King was a Faithless Man and no Credit was to be given to him and that the Dutchess of Mazarine was of his Cabinet-Council who was the worst Woman-kind And that he deserved to be deposed as much as ever King Richard the Second did Then Dennis Macnamarra deposed That he also heard the Lord Shaftsbury say in March or April in his own House Mr. Ivey being present That the King was not to be believe there was no Belief in him and he ought to be deposed as well a King Richard the Second and that the Dutchess of Mazarine was of his Cabinet-Council and he nothing but by her Consent Then Mr. Edward Ivey deposed That being at my Lord's House soon after the Parliament was dissolved at Oxford he heard him speak against the King saying He was an unjust Man and unfit to Reign and he wondred her did not

him thanks for the 10000 l. which was given for the Propagation of the Catholick Religion and that it should be imployed for no other Intent and Purpose but for that which it was sent which was to cut off the King which Le Chese's Letter dated in August and which he both saw and read and to which this was an Answer positively express'd That Letter was directed to one Strange then Provincial of the Society in London which Mr. Coleman answered because Strange having run a Reed into his Finger had wounded his Hand and Secretary Mico was ill This Letter he delivered into Le-Chese's own Hand who gave him a Letter in answer to it which he brought to St. Omers and was there inclosed in the Letter from the Society to Coleman He further deposed that in April last Old Stile and May New Stile there was a general Consult of the Jesuits held by virtue of a Brief from Rome sent by the Father General of the Society first at the. White-Horse Tavern in the Strand and afterwards in several Clubs wherein the Death of the King was Conspired Grove and Pickering being imployed to Pistol him in St. Jame's Park for which Grove was to have 1500 l. in Mony and Pickering being a Priest was to have 30000 Masses which at twelve Pence a Mass amounted much-what to that Mony to all which Coleman was privy and in one Letter he writ about it express'd his disire to have the Duke trappan'd into this Plot to murther the King And in case this fail'd there was a further Design lay'd to murther the King at Windsor by four Irish Assassinates provided by Dr. Fogarthy and fourscore Pounds were provided by Father Harcourt a Jesuit and Rector of London for their present Maintainance which Coleman saw upon a Table in Wild-House where he was with Harcourt and gave the Messenger who was there ready to carry them after the Ruffians to Windsor a Guiny for expedition saying he lik'd it very well Yea and if this also should fail there were Instructions brought by one Ashby a Jesuit in July last to London from Flanders to proffer 10000 l. to Sir George Wakeman to Poison the King Which Instructions were seen and read by Mr. Coleman by him copied out and transmitted to several Conspirators of the King's Death in this Kingdom of England that were privy to this Plot. He said 10000 l. was too little and therefore he procured 5000 l. more to be added to it which Sir George Wakeman accepted of and receiv'd 5000 l. in hand with a promise of the Rest as soon as he should have done the Work He deposed likewise that a Consult had been held in the Savoy with the Jesuits Benedictine Monks for the murthering of the Duke of Ormond and raising a Rebellion in Ireland the Pope's Right to that Kingdom being asserted and 40000 black Bills provided to be sent thither for the use of the Catholick Party Coleman being privy thereto and the main Agent therein being heard to say to Fenwick that he had found a way to transmit the 200000 l. for the carrying on this Rebellion in Ireland That he saw likewise several Commissions come from Rome in Mr. Langhorn's Chamber among which was one for Mr. Coleman to be Secretary of State the receipt of which he hath since heard him acknowledg The Prisoner then offer'd something against the Informant from his telling the King when he was examin'd before the Council that he never saw him before Which the Informant obviated by confessing that there and then he did say that he would not swear that he had seen him before his Sight being bad by Candle-light and being then wearied and tired out but that when he had heard him speak he could have sworn it was he but it was not then his Business The other Witness then produced against the Prisoner was Mr. Bedloe Who deposed that he heard Sir Henry Tichbourn say that he had a Commission and that he brought one for Mr. Coleman and the rest of the Lords from the Principal of the Jesuits at Rome by order of the Pope to be Principal Secretary of State And that he was imployed by Harcourt to carry Letters to Le-Chese the French King's Confessor and was at a Consult in France where the Plot was discoursed on for killing the King and did bring back an Answer from Le-Chese to Harcourt in London and on the 24th or 25th of May 1677. he was with Harcourt at Coleman's House where he heard Coleman speak these words That if he had a Sea of Blood and an hundred Lives he would lose them all to carry on the Design And if to effect this it were necessary to destroy an hundred Heretick Kings he would do it The Prisoner then asking Mr. Bedlow if he ever saw him in his life He answer'd You may ask that question But in the stone Gallery in Somerset-House when you came from a Consult where were great Persons which I am not to name here that would make the bottom of your Plot tremble You saw me then The Court then proceeded to other evidence which were the Prisoners Papers and proved the manner of finding them by Mr. Bradley a Messenger and that those which were then produced in the Court were his by the Clerks of the Council and his own Servant Ordering them afterwards to be read The first Paper was a long Letter dated Sept. 29. 1675 sent to Le-Chese wherein he gives him an account of the Transactions of several Years before and of the Correspondence between him and Monsieur Ferrier Predecessor to Le-Chese Asserting that the true way to carry on the Interest of France and the promoting of Popery here in England was to get that Parliament dissolved which says he had been long since effected if 300000 l. could have been obtained from the French King And that things yet were in such a posture that if he had but 20000 l. sent him from France he would be content to be a Sacrifice to the utmost Malice of his Enemies if the Protestant Religion did not receive such a Blow as it could not subsist The receipt of this Letter was acknowledged by Le-Chese in an Answer he wrote to Mr. Coleman and was then read in the Court dated from Paris October 23. 1675. wherein he gives him thanks for his good Service and promises his Assistance in order to the promoting the Popish Religion Then was produced and read a Declaration which Mr. Coleman as Secretary had penned in the King's Name shewing his Reasons for the Dissolution of the Parliament Then also was read a Copy of a Letter written to Le-Chese which Mr. Coleman confessed he himself wrote and counterfeited in the Duke's Name and that when he was so bold as to shew it to the Duke the Duke was very angry and rejected it Several other Letters were read of Mr. Coleman's to Monsieur Ferrier and others and particularly one dated August 21. 1674. to the Pope's Internuncio at Brussels

How Abbot Montague and Father Gascoyne in France and other Priests and Jesuits told him that if he would turn Catholick he should have Employment among them there and afterwards England for that they doubted not but the Popish Religion would come in very soon and that because as the Abbot said they doubted not to procure a Toleration of Religion and because the Gentry that went abroad did observe the Novelty of their own Religion and the Antiquity of theirs and the Advantages that were to be had by it But one Father Bennet and others said they doubted it not because their party was very strong in England and in a few Years they would bring it in right or wrong That it was Cardinal Crimaldi who perverted him about 1671 to the Romish Religion at Provence and that afterwards he lived several Years in the English Jesuits Colledg at Rome where he hath often heard it disputed and preached and exhorted that the King of England was an Heretick and that there was no King really reigning and whoever took him out of the way would do a meritorious Action particularly by Father Anderton Mumford Campion but chiefly Southwel one of the chief of the Jesuits That when he came away thence for England these Fathers for a whole Month were exhorting that the King of England was not to be obeyed and that in all private Confessions all Persons who might be thought capable of any design were to be instructed that they should use all their Endeavours for promoting Popery That while he was at Rome he read Coleman's Letters of Intelligence once a Month and therein how the Duke and the Queen and the chief of the Nobility were of their side how they carried matters several times the ways the Lord Clifford and Sir VVilliam Godolphin did use to effect the work and that they question'd not to get the Lord Danby on their side too That when he return'd into England he found all the Popish Clergy in great hopes of Popery coining shortly in That he knew of Money gathered in the North but refused to joyn therein That as to the Lord Stafford he knew nothing but that Sir Henry Calverley was turned out of Commission of the Peace through Complaint made to my Lord Stafford of his being active against Popery And that he writ to one Smith that he would not make over his Estate as others did for that he expected some sudden Change or Alteration That the Cardinal who perverted him at the same time spoke of great Assurances that Popery would prevail in England that there was but one in the way and tho that Man was a good natured Man yet they could not so far prevail upon him but that to accomplish their designs they must take him out of the way That now he had been a Protestant two
Ireland and the other Conspirators were produced and the Convictions of Reading Lane Knox and others were delivered in And the Record of the Attainder of Coleman was read in Latin by the Clerk Which concluding the Evidences in general of the Plot the Court thought fit not to enter upon particular Evidences against the Prisoner till another day Whereupon the Lord High Steward adjoun'd the Lords into the House of Lords and the Commons returned to their House where Mr. Speaker reassuming the Chair the House adjourned to Eight of the Clock the next Morning The Second Day Wednesday Decemb. 1. 1680 about 10 of the Clock the Court being sat and the Prisonet appearing Mr. Dugdale being sworn again appeared to Evidence as to the Particulars against the Lord Stafford who accordingly deposed That he had been some Years acquainted with the Lord Staffordy while he was a Servant to the Lord Aston That in August or September 1678 there was a Consult at the Lord Aston's at Tixal at which the Lord Stafford was and with the rest did consent to a Resolve That it was the best way to take away the Life of the King as the speediest Means to introduce Popery That on a Sunday Morning the Lord Stafford coming to the Lord Aston's to hear Mass as he alight off his Horse he said to the Witness It was a sad thing they could not say their Prayers but in an hidden manner but e're long they should have the Romish Religion established That about Septemb. 20 or 21 the Lord Stafford sent for him to his Chamber and proffer'd him 500 l. to be concern'd in taking away the Life of the King wherein he said he was concern'd himself and that he should go in October to London with him and be under the Care of him and Mr. Ireland in London and in the Country of one Mr. Parson's that knew of the Design And that he should have a Reward in London and he understood that the Duke of York the Lord Arundel Lord Bellasis and others were to give it him and that he should have his Pardon from the Pope and be Sainted That also he saw a Letter from the Lord Stafford to Mr. Ewers expressing that things went all well beyond-Sea and so he hoped they did here for the carrying on of their Design Then Dr. Oates being also sworn again deposed That he had seen several Letters in Spain and at St. Omers singned Stafford wherein were assurances of his Zeal for the promoting of Popery in England That in June 1678 he saw the Lord Stafford at Fenwick's Lodging receive a Commission as he believes to be Pay-master General to the Army which promised to effect and going then into the Country he said he did not doubt but at his return Grove should do the Business And speaking of the King he said there He had deceived them a great while and they could bear no longer But the Lord Stafford denied that he either knew Fenwick or Oates After him Mr. Edward Turbervile deposed That he being under some displeasure with his Relations for not entring himself of the Society he betook himself to his Brother a Benedictine Monk in France where staying a while and refusing to be admitted into that Society also her resolved for England and to that end was recommended to the Acquaintance of the Lord Stafford then at Paris who after some time understanding his Condition and imagining him a fit Instrument he proposed to him a way whereby as he said he might not only retrieve his Reputation with his Relations but also make himself a very happy Man And after having obliged him to Secresy he told him in direct terms it was to take away the Life of the King of England who was an Heretick and consequently a Rebel against God Almighty But he desiring time to consider it avoided the seeing my Lord any more and so came to London and by Applications to the Duke of Monmouth he got into the French Service This was in Novemb. 1675. My Lord then charg'd him with running from his Colours and therefore unfit for such a Service and that he never saw him before And here the Evidence ceasing the Lord Stafford began his Defence complaining of his close Imprisonment for two Years and of his abhorrence of those two great Sins Treason and Murder owning and condemning the Gunpowder Plot and the King-killing Doctrine protesting his own Loyalty and Innocency Not doubting to prove these Witnesses perjured and therefore requesting the use of the Lord's Journal-Book and the Depositions of Dugdale Oates and Turbervile without which he could not make his Defence Hereupon arose some Debate in the Court after which the Lords withdrew and after an hour and an halfs space returned and then the Lord High Steward did tell the Lord Stafford that what-ever Evidence there is before the Court of Peers he was to have but for the others they could not help him thereto and in regard he had complained of his Faintness the Lords intended not to put him upon it to go on to make his Defence but would give him time till to Morrow For which the Lord Stafford thanked the Lords but insisted to request moreover the Depositions of Dugdale but he was told they were in the Journal-Book which he was allowed the use of Then the Prisoner desired he might not appear till ten of the Clock next day because he wanted Sleep writing late or that one days respite might be allowed him which the Lord High Steward seemed inclinable for but was opposed by the Managers for the Commons then Court adjourned into the Parliament-Chamber and the Commons went to their House to whom the Lords soon after sent a Message That they had ordered the Prisoner to the Bar at Ten of the Clock next Morning And then the Commons adjourned so Eight the next Morning The Third Day THursday Decemb. 2. 1680. at Ten the Court being sate the Prisoner was set to Bar and required to go on with his Defence For which end he called Turbervile and asked him when he last saw him who said in Novemb 1675. Whence he made his Plea that he was not within the time limited for prosecution but was informed of his Mastake lesser Crimes being limited to six Months but Treason to no time at all Then Dugdale being called again was by him charged That He had sworn at Sir George Wakeman's Trial that he the Lord Stafford was at a Consult at Tixal in August 1678 and proved it by the Testimony of the Lady Marchioness of Winchester and one Mrs. Howard who affirm'd they heard him though Dugdale denied it and then proved that he was all that Month at the Bath and at the Marquess of Worcester's House by Thomas Bonny Clerk of the Kitchen to the Lord Marquess of Worcester Thomas White his Coachman Richard Bevan his Groom and the Lord Marquess himself and that he came not to Tixal till Septemb. 12. and then had no Converse alone with Dugdale
nor could ever endure him reviling him as having been a poor Boy found at the Door then a Thresher then a Baily and now a Witness for the King To this end he acknowledged that he spoke to Dugdale on the 20th of September in his Chamber but not alone nor about any thing but a Race to be run that day on Etching-Hill which he proved by the Testimony of his own Servants Nicholas Furness a Dutch-man whose Blunder in his Evidence made the Auditory laugh and George Leigh He produced also Thomas Sawyer a Servant to the Lord Aston and Mr. Phillips Parson of Tixal as to the Reputatiof Dugdale who said little more to disparage him than that he ran away from the Lord Aston and was apprehended and would then have been own'd by my Lord as his Servant which was refused and Six Walter Bagot Mr. Thomas Kinnersley and Sir Thomas Whitgrave being the Justices before whom he was brought affirmed That then he took the Oaths of Allegiance c. and protested he knew nothing of the Plot. Then the Lord Stafford offered to prove further against Dugdale that he had offered Mony to some to swear falsly against his Lordship to this end William Robinson a Worcestershire-man affirmed That about Midsummer was twelve-month Dugdale offered him Mony in London to swear against the Lord Stafford and John Morral a Barber in Ridgley in Staffordshire that he proffer'd him 50 l. in Hand and 50 l. more when the thing was done to swear against Mr. Howard Sir James Symonds Mr. Herbert Aston and several others as concern'd in the Plot And Samuel Holt a Black-smith at Tixal that he proffered him 40 l. to swear that Walter Moor carried Ewers away Then the Lord Stafford proceeded to prove that Dugdale deposed at the Trial of the five Jesuits That he communicated the News of Sir E. Godfrey's Death which was on Saturday to Mr. Sambidge the Tuesday following which Mr. Sambidge denies That he so swore Mr. John-Lydcott a Fellow of King's-Colledg in Cambridg and one Charles Gifford who were present at that Trial and took Notes did testify And Mr. Sambidge denied that he heard of the News till Friday or Saturday or that he was at the Ale-house with Dugdale at all but that he was an ill Man and very abusive especially to the Clergy Then the Lord Stafford proceeded against Dr. Oates objecting against him That when he was examin'd before the Council having named many and not naming the Prisoner he said he had no more to accuse and for the proof of this he call'd Sir Philip Lloyd who remembred nothing of it and appealed to the Lords then present but none could speak to it till at length the Earl of Berkley did say That he remembred in the House of Lords when Dr. Oates was asked If he could accuse any other Person of what Quality soever Oates answered That he had no more in relation to England to accuse but in relation to Ireland he had which was after he had accused the Lord Stafford though before he had accused the Queen Then he called for Mr. Dugdale again and objected further against him That he did depose before Tho. Lane and J. Vernon two Justices in Staffordshire Decemb. 24. 1678. That presently after one Howard Almoner to the Queen went beyond-Seas he was told by Geo. Hobson Servant to the Lord Aston that there was a Design c. Whereas this Hobson was not a Servant to the Lord Aston of three Years after the Almoner went and yet here he says presently But Dugdale explained that his meaning was that Hobson told him there was a Design presently after the Almoner went c. Which was contested but at last submitted to Then Mr. Turbervile was called again and the Prisoner objected against him his deposing to the Year 1673 one day and to 1672 the next whence he concluded him to be necessarily perjured But Sir William Poultney who took his Affidavit related the whole Story which shewed him to be mistaken in the Year which he finding out that Night by a Paper he found came and corrected it himself the next Morning And whereas the Lord Stafford had charged him for a Coward and for running away from his Colours he produced his Discharge from his Captain which certified otherwise Then whereas Turbervile had before deposed that his Lordship was lame of the Gout when he waited upon him in France he declared he had not been lame these forty Years and never had the Gout in his Life and his two Servants Furness and Leigh testified the same for the time they had lived with him and who were with him then in France but denied that ever they saw Turbervile with him And whereas Turbervile deposed That he came to England by Calice he said he came by Diep and produced one Mr. Wyborne who testified the same together with his aforesaid two Servants Again whereas Turbervil deposed That when he came from Doway his Relations were angry with him and the Lord Powis and his Lady he affirmed that he was upon his return received courteously at the Lord Powis's House and by his Relations which was testified by John Minhead one that belonged to the Lord Powis and a French-Man And whereas Turbervile said he was disinherited his elder Brother by another Mother testified the kindness of his Relations towards him and that there was no Estate likely ever to come to him there being so many Heirs before him Finally whereas Turbervile also in his Affidavit had said the Lord Castlemain was at the Lord Powis's at such a time which must be either in the Years 1672 1673 or 1674 he called Mr. Lydcott again to testify he was not in Wales in any of those Years who by his Notes which he confessed he had transcribed out of another Book spoke very particularly to the times only the beginning of 1672 he could not tell how to account for nor did Turbervile ever say positively to a Year So the Lord Stafford being asked if he had any more Witnesses and answering he had three or four the Peers thought it too late to proceed and so adjourned into the Parliament-Chamber and the Commons went back to their House to whom the Lords sent a Message that they had ordered the Prisoner again to the Bar at Ten next Morning The Fourth Day FRiday Decemb. 3 1680. about Ten the Court being sat and the Prisoner at the Bar the Ld. High Steward reminding him how far he had gone and where he left off in his Defence desired him to go on Who called therefore John Porter Butler to the Lord Powis who said That about a Year ago in several places in London he heard Turbervil say that he believed neither the Lord Powis nor the rest of the Lords were in the Plot and the Witnesses that swore against him he believed were perjured and he could not believe any thing of it and that as he hoped for Salvation he knew nothing of it neither directly
