Part 9 (1/2)

ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Who was that gentleman?

CRATTLE--It was my lord of Warwick.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL--What time of night do you say it was?

CRATTLE--It was about one or two in the morning.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL--What day of the week was it?

CRATTLE--It was Sat.u.r.day night and Sunday morning.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Whither did you carry him?

CRATTLE--Into Green-street, towards the lower end of Leicester-square.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL--What chairs were there more there?

CRATTLE--There was one that captain Coote was in, and another that my lord Mohun was in, and we went away all together.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Were there no other chairs?

CRATTLE--I did not know who went in the other chairs, but there were three other chairs that pa.s.sed by us at St Martin's-lane, and we followed after them to Leicester-fields.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Pray what became of you after you had set down your fare?

CRATTLE--We were discharged and paid; the other three went up towards my lord of Leicester's; but we were coming away, and in a little time we heard the noise of calling chairs! chairs!

again, and there were two chairs did come up, Thomas Browne's and ours; my lord of Warwick called our chair, and we took him into it, and he bid us carry him to the Bagnio in Long-acre; and when we came there we knocked at the door, and his hand was b.l.o.o.d.y, and he asked us if we had any handkerchief to bind up his hand.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Was there any other chairs at the door of the Bagnio, at the same time when you came there?

CRATTLE--Yes, there was another chair there at the door at the same time, and we set down both together.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Pray whence came that chair?

CRATTLE--Indeed, I do not know.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Who were the chairmen that carried that chair?

CRATTLE--Indeed, my lord Mohun and my lord Warwick were the only persons that I knew of all the company.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL--What sort of gentleman was the other, that went out of the other chair into the house?

CRATTLE--He was a pretty tall man; when he was in we went away; I only can say, I saw my lord of Warwick go into the house.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Did you take any notice of any sword that my lord of Warwick had in his hand at that time?

CRATTLE--No; I cannot say I did take any notice of any sword, only that there was a handkerchief desired.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Pray, did you hear no noise at all in the field, till you heard chairs called for again?
