J. I perceive your memory is not good Gav I perceive his memory is very good Dr. Oates This letter did give an account of the business of Staffordshire and the particulars of that Mr. Gavan did afterwards give an accompt of by word o mouth and ●ome other things not fit to be named Gavan Pray where was it Sir that I gave an account of it in London or in the country Dr. Oates In London Gavan In what month Dr Oates In July it was Gavan What part of July Dr. Oates It was when Mr. Ashby was in Town the beginning or middle Gavan Just now you said it was in the latter end Dr. Oates My Lord I beg this favour that if the Prisoners at the Bar ask any questions they may be proposed to the court for they are nimble in their Questions and do a little abuse the Evidence They put things upon them that they never say Mr. Just Pemberton propose your questions to the Bench that you would have asked Gavan I will do so my Lord in whose Honour I have more confidence than in whatsoever Mr. Oates says or swears L. C. J. But he tells you who you drew your Bill of exchange upon and that was Sir William Andrews L. C. J. North Don't give the King's Witnesses ill words L. C. J. Have you any more to ask any of you Whitebread Yes my Lord. L.
