L. C. J. Holt. When was it that you spoke with Mr. Lowick about Murdering the King Harris It was Monday Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday I cannot be exact to the day but it was one of these days after the first Saturday I cannot be positive what the day was L. C. J. Holt. Well it was between the two days Harris Yes it was L. C. J. Holt. How did you know of that Design of Murdering the King Harris I was inform'd of it by Captain Rookwood the first Saturday and I met Mr. Lowick and had this Discourse about it and afterwards they informed me that Mr. La Rue did not lie at his Lodgings and the thing was discovered and they believed that Rue had discovered it And I desire you 'll call Mr. La Rue as to this Matter for I believe he will own it Mr. Soll. Gen. How came you to trust him with such a Discourse Harris Because we met there at Counter's Lodgings and we had several times Discourses of it there was Major Bernard and Captain Rookwood besides and I always declared against it as a barbarous inhumane thing not to be answer'd before God or Man and that we shou'd be odious to all the World if the thing were effected as I believed it wou'd not be I wou'd never shew my Head after such a thing Mr. Soll. Gen. Do you remember who began the Discourse of this matter Harris I cannot tell that I can't come to every particular Sir Barth Shower You said just now you apprehended Mr. Lowick to be a Man of Conscience and Honour Pray what were his Sentiments about it Harris His Sentiment was that he wou'd obey Sir George Barclay's Orders and he was sure Sir George Barclay wou'd not do it without Orders Sir Barth Shower Did not he declare it to be a Barbarous Design Harris I can't remember every particular thing that he said for I am not a Spy upon any Man's Actions Lowick When you were talking of that Design that you speak of pray did I consent to any such thing Harris I tell you how far you consented you said you wou'd obey Sir George Barclay's Orders and you was sure he wou'd not do it without Orders Mr. Mompesson Did you see any of Sir George Barclay's Orders Harris No I did not I was to follow his Orders but what Orders he had I cannot tell Mr. Sol. Gen. What did Sir George Barclay tell you you were to do Harris Sir George Barclay declared on the first Saturday that we were his Janizaries and talked of attacking and bringing away the Garter I cannot say this Gentleman was by then and afterwards Sir George Barclay went out and returned and came in again into the Room and declared that we were Men of Honour and that we were to attack the Prince of Orange Mr. Mompesson Did Sir George Barclay give the Prisoner at the Bar any Orders Harris I don't tell you he did Mr. Mompesson You say you met Sir George Barclay and Major Holmes upon the Road going to Islington How do you know the Prisoner was there Harris Why was not I with him I am very sorry to come upon this Account but you know it is Truth all that I say and I am sure you are sensible I do you no Wrong he met Sir George Barclay and Major Holmes and he went down and said something to Sir George Barclay in the Highway what it was I don 't know but I stood and Captain Rookwood and Mr. Bernard said something to him which you very well know Mr. Att. Gen. What was it Harris I can't tell Sir Mr. Att. Gen. We do not desire you to tell what you can't tell Is this all you know Harris It is all at present that I recollect Mr. Sol. Gen. Then pray swear Mr. Bertram which was done Mr. Conyers Pray will you give an Account to my Lord and the Jury what you know of this Intended Assassination and how far the Prisoner was concerned in it Bertram My Lord about the beginning of February last Major Lowick came to me and ask'd me if I wou'd espouse a thing with him that might be for my Advantage I told him that I thought I might espouse any thing that he thought fit to engage in Mr. Mompesson Whom did you tell so Bertram Major Lowick and he told me it was well and desired me to ask no more Questions I did not but it went on till the 14th of February when he desired me to be at his Lodgings at Twelve a Clock I was so about that time but he was not within and I staid till he came in and he took me up into his Chamber and told me he believed they shou'd Ride out in some little time and he told me he believed the King was to be seiz'd in his Coach and he gave me a Guinea to buy me Necessaries L. C. J. Holt. What Necessaries Bertram I can't say he named any Mr. Att. Gen. But for what purpose were those Necessaries Bertram I don't know that he named any thing indeed Mr. Att. Gen. Well Did he tell you when you were to be ready Bertram If you please to give me leave I 'll tell you He desired me not to be out of the way and the next Morning I was to meet him at the Purl House in Hartstreet I did not meet him and the next time I saw him I am not positive whether it was the next day after the Fifteenth when I was to meet him at Hartstreet but did not so but the next time I saw him he ask'd me why I did not meet him according to his Appointment I told him I had some Reason for it and he answered me again That he believed if the King had been in the Field I would have done the same but I have not seen him since till I saw him at the Bar. Mr. Att. Gen. Had you no Discourse of Horses that you were to provide Bertram I do not remember any particular thing more than I have told you Mr. Att. Gen. Did he not tell you what the Design was you were to go about Bertram He did not tell me of any other Design than as I tell you for he believed I knew of it I thought so at least the first time I knew of it was from Mr. Chernock L. C. J. H. What did he tell you was the Design that you should Ingage in for your Advantage upon Friday the 14th when he gave you the Guinea Bertram He told me he believed they should ride out very suddenly and that the King was to be seized in his Coach L. C. J. H. Did he tell you when the King was to be seized Bertram No he did not tell me when but this was the 14th the next morning I was to meet him at Hart-street but did not Mr. Sol. Gen. Who did he tell you the King was to be seized by Bertram He did not nominate any one else for he obliged me not to ask him Questions nor I did

Porter Mr. Cranburn was there present at that time and did Drink the Health Mr. Cooper Pray Sir did he meet you by appointment on Saturday the 15th or was it by accident Capt. Porter By appointment as all the rest did to get ready as all the rest did to go upon the Design and so it was both Days Sir B. Shower If they have done with Mr. Porter we would ask him a Question or two for the Prisoner We desire to know when it was that those Arms were bought that he talks of For we must acknowledge that Mr. Cranburn heretofore went upon several Messages for Capt. Porter When was that buying of Arms Capt. Porter I tell you I cannot exactly tell the Month. Mr. Cranburn Do you remember the Year Capt.

Porter To the best of my Remembrance he came in afterwards Sir B. Shower My Lord this may be a very material part of our Defence and therefore we must inquire a little the more into it Mr. Porter is pleased to say that he was in a Room with Sir George Barclay and Charnock and Sir William Parkins and he came out into another Room where was Mr. Cranburn Kendrick and Keys and there he says after he had been there some time Gunn came in I desire to know whether Gunn was there when he first came in Capt. Porter To the best of my Remembrance he came in afterwards but I cannot positively tell for I was in and out several times Mr. Phipps At the time that you Communicated this Design to Mr. Cranburn what said he to you Capt. Porter When I first Communicated the thing to him I told him there was a thing on Foot for the Service of King James and desired him to go along with me L. C. J. Holt. What kind of Service did you tell him it was Capt. Porter He asked me what kind of Service it was I told him Sir George Barclay was come over and I told the whole Design of the Assassination of the Prince of Orange that it was intended to take him off as he came from Richmond from Hunting Mr. Phipps And pray what did Mr. Cranburn say to you Capt. Porter He said he would be ready to go along with me Mr. Phipps You say you sent by him Three Case of Pistols to Sir William Parkins at that time did you tell him for what Design those Pistols were Capt.

Porter I did send him by word of Mouth for a Note L. C. J. Holt. Pray Gentlemen observe the Evidence Sir William Parkins was to give a Note for 2 Horses and Capt. Porter sent Cranburn for

C. J. Holt. And when you acquainted him with it What did you tell him What Part was he to act in it Capt.

De la Rue It is too long a Story to tell you all that I know of this Matter but if you please I will tell you what concerns the Prisoner at the Bar. I am heartily sorry that I have occasion to appear against him as I wou'd be truly against any Body But since I am here upon my Oath I must declare the Truth and nothing but the Truth and I hope I shall not declare any thing but what is Truth Upon Saturday the 15th of February the Day that the Design was to have been put in execution against His Majesty and all that were in the Coach with him and against his Guards I went to Mr. Chernock's Lodgings in Norfolk-street to inform my self whether they resolved on that Day to go out upon the Design and I found by Mr. Chernock that they did resolve it and I stay'd there a while till such time as Mr. Chambers came in I did not know whence he came then but as I was informed afterwards he came from Kensington to Mr. Chernock and his Boots were dirty and Mr Chernock told me he had sent a Messenger to Mr. Porter And says he if you will stay a little time I shall have an Answer The Messenger came back and told him That Capt. Porter din'd at the Blue-Posts in Spring-Garden I did not go to Dine with him but went home where I saw Mr. King at my Lodging who told me that the King did not go out that Day I told him I heard he did not I found by Mr. Chamber 's coming back and that we had no notice from Mr. Chernock that it was concluded the King did not go out as it was supposed he shou'd have gone When I had din'd at my Lodging I went to the Blue-Posts in Spring-Garden to Mr. Porter and there were Four or Five or Six People with him there was one Mr. Sherborn and Mr. Kendrick and Two People that I never saw before and another Person but I can't tell now who he was When we had been there a little while comes in this unfortunate Man at the Bar Mr. Cranburn I don't know where he had been but by his coming in so late I suppose he had not din'd and he ordered the Drawer to get him some Costelets This is all that I can say as to that Day I had seen Captain Porter twice or thrice between that and the 22d and he desired me to be at home on Friday Night between Eight and Nine and he wou'd send to me He did send and I was from home But when I came I was informed his Servant had been to speak with me and in the Morning about Eight or Nine a Clock Saturday the 22d he sent his Servant to me to tell me his Master would speak with me at his Lodgings I went to his Lodgings and he then lay in Maiden-Lane at one Brown's a Surgeon's When I came in he was in Bed and he told me in French Tonts Parties sont Prests All Parties are ready I understood all along that there were Three Parties to be engag'd one to attack the King's Coach and the Two others the Guards Sir George Barclay was to head the first and Porter and Rookwood the rest Mr. Porter arose and dress'd himself and in came Mr. Cranburn and Mr. Porter went out to him into the Dining-Room and what he said I can't tell But soon after came in Pendergrass Mr. Key and Mr King and then he takes Pen Ink
