A59378	The Several informations of Mr. Simeon Wright, Thomas Launders and Richard Perkin concerning the horrid Popish Plot in England : and the several ways that have been used to take off the Kings witnesses, and to hinder the further discovery of it : the two former, being witnesses in the trial of the late Lord Stafford, their informations were taken upon oath by Edmond Warcup, Esq., one of His Majesties Justices of the Peace for Middlesex and Westminster, in December last 1680 : the latter was taken upon oath by Sir Robert Atkyns, kt. at the assizes at Stafford, 1679 : the whole informations being nothing but matter of fact.	Wright, Simeon.; Lander, Thomas.; Perkin, Richard, 17th cent.	1681 (1681)	Wing S2767A; ESTC R10186	11,345	30
