How often did you discourse with him about his pain Avery Every day divers times from the time he came home till he died Att. Gen. And he spoke those words a little before he died Avery Yes and often complained of his being abused L. H. St. My Lord of Pembroke will you ask this Woman any Questions E. of P. No my Lord. L. H.

Now my Lord We shall call three more that had a view of the Body after his death upon the Coroner's Inquest who will give your Grace an Account what appearings of Murther were there visible and they are Richard Wheeler William Brown Thomas Roberts Cl. of Cr. Lay your hands on the Book The Evidence c. Att. Gen. Which is Mr. Brown Did you see the Body of Mr. Cony after he was dead Brown Yes my Lord I was one of the Coroner's Inquest which after view of the Body went into another House but some of us seeing the Body swelled at that rate as it was and being unsatisfied of the cause went back again to look upon it and there I saw upon his right Breast a great black Bruise and I looked upon the Cawl which was all wasted away and on his left Side again a great black Spot and in the bottom of his Belly a quantity of very ill-lookt Bloud Att. Gen. When was this you saw it what day how long after his death Brown The day after he died Att. Gen. Where did you observe any Hurt and Bruise upon him besides Brown As he lay before he was opened we saw him all over swelled at a prodigious rate and black and blue in divers places so that I was unsatisfied till I had seen the inward parts and therefore went up and saw what I said before L. H. St. Did you know the Gentleman before Brown No my Lord. L. H. St. My Lord of Pembroke do you desire to ask him any thing E. of P. No my Lord. L. H. St. Then go on Sir Att. Gen. Richard Wheeler pray tell my Lord what you know Wheeler My Lord I was summoned upon the Jury by the Coroner and according to my duty I made such an inspection as I could into the Body I did observe upon his right Breast a very black and great Bruise and on the left side of his Belly a very black and great Bruise which was indeed of an other-guise colour than that of settled Bloud for I have of my own knowledge had a sad experience of that kind Att. Gen. Did you know the Gentleman before Wheeler Yes I knew the Gentleman very well and I had not known him to be the same person then but by their description that were about him for all the parts of his Body were most violently swelled Att. Gen. Did you see the settled Bloud at the bottom of his Belly Wheeler Yes and as I was informed that was occasioned by his being forced to lie on his Back continually because his pain would not suffer him to move that on the Side and Ribs was a perfect Bruise Att. Gen. Where is Mr. Roberts did you see this Gentleman's Body after his death Roberts I saw the Body after it was opened and viewed the inward lower parts of the Belly where there was a quantity of Bloud gathered together Att. Gen. Was it more black in that part then in others Roberts It was black congealed Bloud Att. Gen. How broad were the spots Roberts About the breadth of my hand L. H. St. Mr. Roberts did you see the left side of the Belly bruised Roberts Yes my Lord and as I said in the lower inward parts black congealed Bloud L. H. St. Was there any swelling Roberts Yes my Lord very much L. H. St. The Doctor that was examined before said there was no swelling nor discolouring Att. Gen. He did so my Lord but this was several days after that L. H. St. My Lord of Pembroke will you examine these men E. of P. No my Lord. Att. Gen. My Lord we have but one Witness more for the King and that is Mr. Charles Cony who is Brother of the Gentleman that died who will give you an account what he said in his sickness and the Sayings of a dying man in such circumstances are remarkable Cl. of Cr. Charles Cony harken to your Oath The Evidence c. Att. Gen. Now Mr. Cony tell his Grace and my Lords the occasion of your Brother's sickness and death Cony May it please your Grace on Monday the 4th of February I was sent for by my Brother about nine of the Clock in the morning to come to speak with him but not believing his business to be urgent deferred my going the Messenger immediately comes back again and tells me my Brother was exceeding ill As soon as I came I found him almost dying his Eyes set and he extremely ill but we recovered him in a little time whilst he complained of great pain I examined what might be the cause and where he had been last night for I understood he came not home till morning and in what company And when I was told of my Lord of Pembroke's company who had struck him down with a box of the Ear both he and I quickly concluded how his ill came But to be satisfied he telling me he could not remember what he did we sent for the Drawer to know the truth of the matter but in the mean tiem to comfort him I told him I hoped it was only a fainting Fit which would be over again in a while The Drawer came and did assure me that my Lord did never strike him which upon assurance I did believe especially when he came again in tbe Afternoon and told me the same story All the while he was in the horridest pain that could be and could not be touched but was forced to lie upon his Back The Doctor told us for application to ease his pain the best thing to wrap him in was a whole Weathers Skin which we did at two of the Clock in the Afternoon by the help of a Chirurgeon raise him up and put on him On Tuesday
