he found that Mrs. Celiers and Mrs. Holeby did not supply him with moneys as he expected he resolved to lay the contrivance of the said Paper wholly upon them which he did as appears in his Narrative and at that time I was much indispos'd and told one Sir Edward Butler a fellow Prisoner for Debt and then in my Chamber that Mr. Lewis was an ill man and endeavoured to Suborn me to swear false things and if I knew how to send for a Magistrate or two I would declare the truth of what I knew to which the said Sir Edward told me that he would set down the day of the month and what I had told him concerning Mr. Lewis and that he would justify the same upon Oath if ever required And Sir Edward Butler also desired me to write to some Justices of the Peace to come thither and take my Information which I did and soon after came one or two Justices but Mr. Lewis and Mr. Haytor being in consultation in Haytors Chamber and understanding what I had done they came down and told the said Justices it would not be a proper business for them to concern themselves in there being some Members of Parliament appointed to come and take my Examination and Mr. Lewis and Mr. Haytor desired me not to declare one word to the said Justices upon which they took their leaves and look'd upon it as an affront as I was inform'd and that night came other Justices and examined Mr. Lewis and Mr. Haytor who told me he was by This said Haytor was him that writ Mr. Lewis's Information and mine that we gave in to the last Parliament at Westminster and the next day came Justice Rich and Justice Reading and took my Information also upon Oath and after they were gone Mr. Lewis told me that now Mr. Zeale we may expect to be call'd before the House of Commons speedily This continued for several days insomuch that Mr. Lewis began to doubt whether there would be any notice taken of his Information or not And one Morning about three of the clock he wak'd me and said Zeale here is no notice taken of us you see but in every days Votes of Parliament there is Addresses made for Dangerfield and others for their Pardons and Allowances Therefore I must discover something that is greater or else we are like here to continue I ask'd how or what he would contrive let me alone for that said he you shall go in the Morning betimes to Mr. Haytors Chamber and tell him that I did discover to you strange things about three of the clock insomuch that I would not let you rest until I had revealed it But said he take no notice that I know of your going to Haytor but pretend you came unknown to me and then said he Haytor will certainly write to the Earl of Shaftsbury immediately after you have told him what I can discover Then I ask'd him again what it should be He replyed that one of the Lords in the Tower would have hired him to have kill'd the King I ask'd him what Lord it should be He replyed do not you tell Haytor his name but it shall be the Lord Arrundel of Warder for he is the remarkable'st man of them all he 's squint-ey'd and hath a Wart on his Nose and I have seen him several times at the Tennis-Court therefore he shall be the man that I pitch upon and I 'l warrant you this will fetch me up before either the House of Lords or Commons if Haytor should ask you why I had not discovered this before in my first Information tell him to sham him that I doubted my Pardon and that was the reason which will satisfy him well enough to believe it's true And in the Morning I did rise and go to Haytors Chamber and told him as aforesaid not taking the least notice to him that the said discovery was false and contrived by the said Mr. Lewis upon which the said Haytor replyed that he doubted the truth of it yet notwithstanding said he I will write to the Earl of Shaftsbury of it so it will be a good service to the Protestant Party the said Haytor did accordingly write to the Earl of Shaftsbury concerning the same and soon after there came an Order from the House of Lords for Mr. Lewis to be brought up which accordingly he was whereas he told me he swore the same and withal at the same time swore Damn him what was an Oath It was only laying a mans Hand on a Book and kissing it upon all which I have taken the blessed Sacrament according to the usage of the Church of England the fourth day of February last as will appear by my Certifitate that all this is false and Fictitious and contrived on purpose to get his enlargement Some time after he was called before the House of Commons where he delivered his Information in writing and the 19th of November I also delivered my Information in writing And within few days after he sold his Narrative to one Mr. Combs a Coffee-man in the City for 50 l. which money or part of which procured his Liberty I remaining still a Prisoner till near Christmas and upon the 5th of November there came a Letter to the Marshalseas directed to Mr. Loman the Keeper which is here incerted verbatim Sir THere is this day an Order of the House of Lords that Mr. Zeale attend the Attorney-General so he desires that he may attend him in the Morning at the House of Lords or in the Afternoon before three at his Chamber in Grays-Inn desiring you not to fail herein I am Grays-Inn the 25 of November You Servant Charles Clare In Obedience to which Order I did appear at the Attorney-General's Chamber where he was pleas'd to ask me whether I knew Mrs. Celier which I declared I did not he ask'd me if I thought I knew her if I saw her from any other Woman I told him I could not say it for the World and several other questions he was pleas'd to ask me relating to the said matter which I to the best of my knowledge truly answered He also ask'd if I ever were in Newgate I reply'd I was he desired me to give him an account for what I told him I was introduc'd by a Gentleman of my acquaintance into the company and acquaintance of Mr. Dangerfield who told me he was an Officer lately come from Flanders and being one day in the company of Mr. Dangerfield at Hackney where he exchang'd a false Guiney and for which he was apprehended and I with the said Gentleman was also apprehended with him for being in his company at that time and being all carried before a Magistrate all three were committed to Newgate where in few days it appeared that the said Dangerfield made it his general practice to utter false Coyn for several years before for which he had been several times Imprisoned and suffered the Law and during my
