got in to be Trustee he got her to sign a Deed particularly a Covenant in the Deed was to this or like effect That after the Death of Mrs. Vauricke and her 4 Children the Estate to come to him and his Heirs Upon which I often used to say That he designed to break the Widdows Heart and Starve the Children that the Estate might come to him and his Son Now Row being Trustee and also having a Deed from the Dr. for which he was glad he domineered and ranted about saying That he had Houses in Buckingham Court and kept the poor Woman under that she durst not do any thing neither could she by reason of his being Trustee and also having that Deed from the Dr. But now I knowing the abuses done the poor Woman and that she could never get him to come to any Account she applied her self to me again to right her if I could by any means Upon which I went to Mr. Fairbeard and told him what had past and that Mr. Row was an ill man and that we could never get him to come to any Account as he promised he would do in his hearing at Sir Francis Child's Shop he being then present Mr. Fairbeard said he could not believe it for Mr. Row was a man of Credit and Reputation and as he told him he was an Attorny of the Common-Pleas I made answer that he was no such man but an Impostor and a Cheat whereupon he advised me to go to Mr. Cooke the Prothonotary at the Temple and search whether he was an Attorney of the Common-Pleas or no and if he was not I should take a Summons from my Lord Chief Justice and he would come and justifie he own'd himself to be an Attorney of the Common-Pleas and so by that means have him turned out from being Trustee Now I finding him not to be so I did take out a Summons from my Lord Chief Justice of the Common-Pleas and Mr. Row meeting me according to the Summons desired me to let him alone and he would come to an Account and deliver up his Trust and do any thing else I would have him and this he promised before Mr. Hales of the Temple an Attorny of the Common Pleas but for 3 weeks or a month after we could neither see nor hear of him till one came and informed us that he was to be a Witness in Westminster-Hall and there we had a Summons from my Lord Chief Justice Holt to appear before him which was done And being before my Lord we had a small hearing of the Cause as I may call it for we had there Mr. Lloyd of the Temple our Counsel and my Lord hearing what was alledged against him told him that he was an ill man and said thus to Row You are a fine Fellow to be a Trustee My Lord finding that he was a Trustee made in Chancery advised us to make an end and spoke thus to Mr. Lloyd As you are her Counsel let Mr. Row take another and make an end for the poor Woman will be ruined or to this effect Mr. Row readily answer'd he would and that he would bring Mr. H. any one may judge the meaning of that The time and place being appointed Mr. Lloyd the Widow and my self went there where we met Mr. Row and 2 or 3 Fellows of his Gang but no Mr. H. was there Mr. Row said what should I have Counsel I can do my business my self Mr. Lloyd told him he was not to argue the Case with him but Mr. H. and they two were to make an end if they could agree whereupon Mr. Lloyd was angry with him and went away So that he was then upon the Hide and Seek again putting us every day to great Expences for he did not care to part with his Trusteeship And for us to come to my Lord Chief Justice again would put the Widow to more Charges and that my Lord could do nothing in it because he was a Trustee in Chancery Now what to do we could not tell but we then petitioned the Lords Commissioners and Mr. Serjeant Tremayne our Counsel Upon hearing what was alledged against the said Mr. Row the Lord Commissioner Rawlinson said it was the most barbarous Case he ever heard Pray note That Row was to appear that day but durst not knowing the Villany that he had committed whereupon by an Order of Court a Messenger was ordered to take Mr. Row into Custody the Petition and Orders ought to be inserted here but that my little time I have to live ought to be otherwise employed Now after the Messenger was awarded against him he absconded himself from his Dwelling-house and all other places he then used so that the Messenger of the Chancery Mr. Bush and my self daily hunting after him for near the space of a month but could not take him Pray observe here that this was in April 1691. and also observe that from Christmas before till that time Mr. Row daily and hourly threatned to seise her Goods and take possession and she did leave her House for fear of it for some little time expecting to be relieved by the Lords Commissioners but she left her Children and Maid in possession Now Row by force entred without any manner of Law for he turned the Children out of Doors and sold the Bed from under them and took the rest of the Goods that were in the House Now is the time that Dr. Clinch's Name comes to be mentioned and I beg of you observe I will make it as clear as I can and speak nothing but the Truth to the best of my Knowledg and as I hope to see God in Glory Now when Mr. Row had turned the poor Fatherless Children out of Doors c. Then the Widow applied her self to the Dr. and told him what had past and wondered why he would not keep the Security in his own hands but make it over to Row Said she to the Dr. I dare trust you with all I have in the World I am now using endeavours to get Row turned out of his Trusteeship and bring him to an Account for the money he owes me and the Goods he has wronged me of for he twice robbed the House of the Locks Keys and Bolts under pretence of his being Trustee I hope no body can call it any thing else but Robbery when she owed him nothing but he was in her Debt 50 l. or thereabouts and she could not take the Law of him because he was her Trustee So that the Widow solicited the Dr. several times with a great many Prayers and Supplications to stand her Friend till such time as he was righted in Chancery And now was the time that Row applied himself to the Dr. and insinuated himself so far into the Doctors favour as to make him believe that it was all false and that he was the wronged man and that she owed him a great deal of moneys and withall told him that it was not

he that had ruined the Widow and Fatherless but one Mr. Harrison who was a Gamester and spent and play'd away all her money and so Mr. Row and his Agents made it their business to make him believe so and every one else that was concerned but more particularly her Relations fearing lest they should undertake her just Cause being monied People and persons of great Note and Credit and he did effect his design for from that time till now her Relations would not look upon her nor hear any thing of her because he had so bespattered her concerning me Now was the time I told her that I would use my endeavours and interest with the Dr. who was my very good Friend and for several years had known him for he had been my Physitian and many times when he saw me told me he would come Day or Night to serve me if I had need for him Nay further than that at the time the Duke of Norfolks Regiment was to be raised he told me if I would have a Commission in that Regiment he had that Interest with the Duke that he believed he could do any thing with him but I told him I was engaged to a Person of Quality already Now let the Reader judge whether or no I had any reason to injure the Dr. or much more to Murder him Now was the time also I solicited the Dr. upon the Widows Account who always shewed me Civility and Respect and never an Angry word past betwixt us And also about this time the Dr. imploy'd one Mr. Johnson of Furnivals-Inn to look after the business Says the Dr. Mr. Harrison I do not understand the Law and besides that I have a great deal of business otherwise I cannot trouble my self but I have left it all to Mr. Johnson Upon this I told the Widow what the Dr. had done That he had left it all to one Mr. Johnson whereupon she replied That she was got out of the Frying-pan into the Fire for her Relations knew who he was but I was altogether a Stranger to Mr. Johnson Now pray observe that at that time all our Applications to the Dr. or Mr. Johnson was to let her have a little more money till she had made an end in Chancery and got Row out from his Trusteeship for she intended to undertake some Imploy to maintain her self and Children and that the Dr. should have possession of both the Houses for his Security and we would endeavour to get a Decree in Chancery for that purpose The Dr. and I many times argued the Case and once or twice computed the In-come of the Estate and what might be lent upon it The Dr. was sensible of the Wrongs done the Widow and would have helped her in any thing if Mr. Johnson had not prevented him Now you must understand the Widow could do nothing to help her self as to raising of Mony for these 2 Reasons First Because Row was Trustee and not then turned out nor is yet as you will understand by the Sequel of the Story So now to come back to Mr. Row where I mentioned him as to his absconding himself that the Messenger could not take him whereas by an other Order made the Twenty Sixth day of May 1691. It was ordered one Mr. Royor and Royley Mr. Edwards and Dr. Clinch were to attend Sir John Hoskyns about the Matters in question for you must know that we had the wole Business on the Stage as to all the Persons concerned in putting that Purchase upon her and by what devices and means Mr. Row got in to be Trustee Now this was the time that Dr. Clinch first began to be displeased and so was Mr. Fairbeard his Counsel and Mr. Johnson for bringing his Name in question where so black a Case appeared to the Lords Commissioners on Row's Account saying Have not I lent my Mony and paid it honestly Yes Sir I know it but Row received the most of it and the Widow cannot get an Account of it and it was by our Counsel's Advice that we did it for by the Dr's appearing before the Mr. in Chancery all was made clear how Mr. Row and his Confederates were the Persons that had ruined the Widow and her Children as by the Report does appear which ought to be inserted here But no more of that I hope now her Relations will have pity of her disconsolate condition being the most wronged Widow in the World to whom I have ordered the Papers of the Proceedings of her Cause to be carefully delivered Only thus much of the Report made by Sir John Hoskyns which I shewed my Lord Chief Justice at my Tryal But he told me it would signifie nothing to my Tryal which is thus verbatim And as for Dr. Clinch his matter I find that the said Dr. Clinch was desired by the said Mrs Vauwick and Mr. Row presently after the said Purchase of the said 2 Houses to lend the said Mrs. Vauwick an Hundred Pound to furnish one of the said Houses and there being a Debt of 14 l. that was due to Dr. Clinch from the said Mrs. Vauwick's late Husband Deceased and about 3 l. 17 s. for Interest thereof the said Dr. Clinch did lend the said Mrs. Vauwick Two Guineas more which made it up Twenty Pounds and the said Mrs. Vauwick secured the said Twenty Pounds by her Bond and the said Dr. Clinch at their the said Row and Vauwick's Desire did undertake to lend it upon his being secured the said 100 l. and the said 20 l. in all 120 l. by a Mortgage of one of the said Two Houses to be paid at times in the Deeds for that purpose mentioned the which 100 l. I find was paid and disposed and received thus 41 l. 15 s. to the said Mrs. Vauwick 5 l. to Mr. Fairbeard and his Clerk for Writings 3 l. for the ensuring Mrs. Vauwick's Life and 50 l. 5 s. to the said Mr. Row for the use of Mrs Vauwick Now we having got this Report all our business was done with Dr. Clinch and this Report was Signed 8th of August 1691. by Sir John Hoskyns By this Report it appears who wronged the Widow as you will find also by a Petition here inserted upon which the Widow was to have an Hearing The Petition was thus verbatim To the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal of England the Humble Petition of Anna Katherina Vauwick and her 4 small Children sheweth THat your Petitioner has been basely defrauded of all she has by Robert Row a pretended Attorney of the Common Pleas and that your Petitioner being advised by the Lord Chief Justice Holt to petition your Lordships provided he did not come to an Account and pay your Petitioner the Monies he so unjustly detained from her upon pretence of being her Trustee And the said Row failing his Promise to the said Lord Chief Justice your Petitioner petitioned your Lordships accordingly about 4 Months ago and upon hearing what
