Mr. Plunket if there is any Question you will ask of the Witnesses or if there be any Evidence you would give your self this is your time for the doing of it if not we must leave your Case to the Jury who have heard the Evidence all along Plunk Only this my Lord your Lordship sees how I am dealt with First and foremost I have not time to bring my Witnesses or my Records which if I had I would not weigh one farthing to leave my Cause with any Jury in the world Besides all this I am brought out of my own native Country where these men lived and I lived and where my Witnesses and Records are which would shew what these people are I sent by the Post and did all that I could and what can I say when I have not my Witnesses against these people they may swear any thing in the world you cannot but observe the improbability of the thing in it self and unto what a condition I am brought My Lord my Life is in iminent danger because I am brought out of my own Country where these people would not be believed against me Mr. Sol. Gen. My Lord I think this matter lies in a narrow compass the Evidence hath been long I would only repeat the short Heads of that which hath been given at large He is indectid for a Conspiracy to kill the King the Overt act is an Endeavour to introduce a Forreign Power into Ireland to raise an Army and levy War there and the Proof of it hath been very full The Proof in general that there was a Plot to introduce the French is plain by all the Witnesses and the Proof in particular upon this person at the Bar hath been as plain as any thing can be They prove to your Lordship in general that there was an Expectation that the French should come in that there was an Invitation of Florence Wyer the first Witness to go over into France and speedily he should have a Command upon his return in Ireland that there were Preparations for this appears by the Oath of Secrecy given to several men Forty men that came along with Bishop Tyrrel to keep it private during their lives and there was a farther proof of that general Conspiracy by Duffy that when there was a general meeting of so many thousand people for Confirmation there was by the Gentlemen at that meeting a secret Consultation how to carry on the Design and how to list men and to look out the old Officers in the late Rebellion and to see what posture they were in as to the management of this Design and this comes now particularly to the Prisoner who was by at this Consultation so the Witnesses do tell you But that that comes nearer to him is that he did issue out Orders for the raising of Mony and that he did raise Mony pursuant to those Orders and did receive Mony for that very purpose this is proved by three Witnesses Duffy and Mac Legh who paid the Mony and by Moyer the last Witness who saw him receive it from several Persons This is positive upon him nay they say farther that there was a List made of the several men in the several Parishes that were able to bear Arms upon occasion from sixteen to sixty and there was a List of a matter of threescore thousand men that were ready upon any occasion to rise for the purpose and this List was delivered over into the hands of the Prisoner at the Bar. There is one Witness Duffy that says farther that he saw a Letter under his hand in France to the Cardinal Bouillon to invite the French King into Ireland and he did wonder that he should spend his Time and Blood in Wars against Spain which was a Roman Catholick and not come into Ireland to extirpate the Hereticks And this Letter is confirmed by another Letter which was seen by Moyer a Copy of which is produced which he translated from the Original in Latin and the Letter was sent to Rome by Neal O Neal whom the Prisoner says he had no concern for but to give him some Recommendations Plunket I gave him no Recommendations L. C. J. No he says he did not give him any nor sent any Letter by him Mr. Soll. Gen. Then he urged that he went along begging by the way but 't is proved he was sent by him and sent with Letters and that by his Brother in Law who met him at Mants And 't is proved by Moyer who saw the Letter opened taking it to be but a common Letter of Recommendation he read the Letter and took a Copy of it and translated that Copy which Translation is enough to verifie all the matter which the Witnesses have sworn
