Bridgman He saies you told him the day before there was Arms delivered and more would be delivered and then the next day he and Mr. Hill came on the Exchange and then you spoke those words which they both witnesse against you Sallers I never spoke such a word It 's true what Wapshot told me I told Riggs which was that there were Arms delivered but it seems there was none and I told him would tell him the truth the next day on the Exchange and so in the mean time speaking with Wapshot he told me there was no such thing and I told Mr. Riggs Wapshot said there was none Court Pray what made you so busily enquire after Arms if you were not concerned Sallers I did not enquire after it but accidentally meeting him in Mark-lane he told me Mr. Tonge My Lord as you are my Judge so I hope you will be my Councellor and I pray your advice whether Mr. Tyler and Mr. Riggs be competent witnesses against me they being in the same case Sir O. Bridgeman Where is the cause of your exception Tonge Because they are in the same case Sir O. Bridgeman There are four witnesses all against you your own confession and examination against you through the whole business you are a principal person Tong. I confess I did confess it in the Tower being threatned with the wrack Sir O. Bridgeman There is Mr. Hill Mr. Riggs Mr. Bradley and Mr. Tyler there is Hill and Bradly without exception Bradley he was not at all concerned he went along with you to know what you said and Mr. Hill was not a person in the design but made use of only to find out the Plot they did nothing unjustifiable so they are witnesses without exception Serjeant Glynn We desire your Lordship to declare whether Riggs and Tyler be lawful witnesses Sir O. Bridgeman I would have you know this whereas you make exception against those persons that are guilty of the same crime that 's a mistake to say they are not witnesses in cases of Treason where there are works of darkness these are things men will not do by daylight but in darkness and who can discover these works of darkness better than they that have to do with them if God turn their hearts It 's true such persons as these are if they had been convicted they are not Witnesses but though they are in the same fault it is frequent they are allowed besides they are not witnesses alone there are divers circumstances 1 Edward 6. 5 Edward 6. both statutes say there shall be 2 lawful witnesses in cases of high treason that is such witnesses as the Law would allow before those statutes the meaning of the statutes was that men might not be taken upon a bare surmize therefore the Law saies there shall be two witnesses when one is accused of Treason another in the same offence unconvicted untainted his Evidence is made use of and though it is not so upright a witnesse as others yet he is such a witness as the Jury is to take notice of it is plain by several circumstances you have been a principal person a Leader on of the business though a man be but present when Treason is spoken or designed and acted if this man be present and shew any thing of approbation his concealing of it is as much Treason as he that did it they are all principals in Treason Sir Heneage Finch May it please your Lordships and you Gentlemen of the Jury you have heard the Evidence of the Prisoners at the bar five of them have stood out their Tryal a sixth hath confessed the Fact against those persons that now stand at the barr under good favour there is a clear unquestionable proof of the Crime charged against them and they have not said any thing that hath either taken away the credit of the Evidence or excused the matter if you consider first Tong there is against him four Witnesses and those unquestionable as you heard the direction of the Court that he knew of the design approved of it contrived how to surprize Windsor Castle had corrupted the head Gunner and Sergeant there that he did contrive to seize Whitehall and if you believe Bradley advised as the fittest way to break into the Privy Garden all this against Tong with a world of other Evidence how active he has been his house was the place of consultation he imparts the design to Phillips and Phillips undertakes to get the Word of the Trained Bands I think none can prove more than is proved against him when you come to hear the proof against Phillips it is proved that he offered to betray 300 Arms in the Artilery where he had some kind of Trust and that he was ready to end●avour the Word when the Insurrection was to be and but a very litle before he is the man that discovers to the Congregational meetings that the Trained Bands were coming to surprize them that is in his own confession as well as the willingness in him to discover the Word It is proved that Tong and Stubbs were present at those discourses touching surprising the
