the next Day made all the World believe I was the Man that committed it I was almost Distracted and I thank God that he did not give me over to Despair but at last I was a little setled in my Mind and began to consider That it was for my Sins my former Sins he suffer'd this Judgment to come upon me and I became calm and considered and did and ever since have blessed be his Holy Name for this his Fatherly Chastisement and he has ever since given me Patience under all my Sufferings and supported me under all my Afflictions till this time and I trust and firmly believe he will not forsake me at the Hour of my Death After a day or two being in Prison I sent for the People of the House where I was and desired them to recollect themselves what time I came there and how long I staid there and sent to those Persons that were in Company to know certainly the time for they were all partly Strangers to me I had an Account given me for I could not recollect every thing my self but you will understand in my Case following And when my Witnesses had given me the satisfaction the Sessions coming on about 10 days after I had all my Witnesses there and Petitioned for my Tryal but was put off because the Coroner had not brought in his Inquest Now pray observe that the Coroner had been with me and took my Examination before that Sessions and promised me he would let me have two days notice of my Tryal but he did not So that I tired my Friends with waiting and my Witnesses being Strangers that Expence was all lost Now knowing my Innocency and believing that the Prosecutors desired nothing more than to find out the Truth I frankly sent them a Copy of my Case and also another to the Coroner the doing of which was my ruin And I told my Lord the same at my Tryal and he made Answer I was to blame in that And thus it was Verbatim An Exact Account of the just Defence I made concerning my Innocency touching the Inhuman Murther of Dr. Clinch on the 4th of this Instant January betwixt 9 and 11 a Clock My first Proof MR. Jones my Landlord and Landlady and the Maid with one Turner a Porter plying at Shooe-Lane end in Fleet-street who carried my Port-Mantle-Trunk at or near 8 a Clock on that Night to my Lodgings at the Golden Ball in Paul's Church-yard and after I had given Orders for a Fire to be light I went from thence and told them I would be at home again betwixt a 11 and 12. My second Proof That betwixt 8 and 9 a Clock the same Night I came from my said Lodgings and went along Fleet-street to the King's Head in Crown Court in Chancery Lane over against Serjeant's Inn where I play'd at Cards from 9 a Clock or thereabouts till 11 a Clock or thereabouts the same Night to prove this the Master of the King's Head his Wife and Maid one Mr. Baker an Ironmonger Mrs. Whiple a Cornet's Wife one Mr. White and his Wife To Confirm the Testimonies of these Persons during the time we play'd at Cards these two Accidents fell out at 10 a Clock or thereabouts a Hubbub arose in the said Court about the Pumping a Woman that had pickt a Gentleman's Pocket The other was about a quarter of an Hour after That one John Allan a Drawer at the King's Head Tavern at the end of Chancery Lane came to the King's Head in Crown Court he being somewhat Impertinent and Sawcy as I thought I rose from my Seat went to the Door and struck at him with my Muff which the Drawer remembers My third Proof That Mr. White came to call his Wife home about half an Hour past ten a Clock and found me at Cards with the said Company My fourth Proof That at my return home from that Place at 11 a Clock or thereabouts to my Lodging●s one Mr. Sutton and one Mr. Russel Gent. of my Acquaintance was in a Coach at the King's Head Tavern door at the end of Chancery Lane drinking a Glass of Sack They told me They were going to the Horse-Shooe Tavern in Drury Lane and desired me to go along with them and I did go into the Coach to them But I considering that it was too late presently came out of the Coach again and so walk'd all along Fleet street home to my Lodgings in Paul's Church-yard and was at home at half an Hour past 11 a Clock or thereabouts Pray observe that I came from Mr. Humpstead's Lodgings before the Port-Mantle-Trunk was carried to my Lodgings which he swore at 9 a Clock when it was before 8 I was with him which has given all the Suspicion Now let any one judge whether it looks like as if I were guilty to give my Adversaries an Account of my Witnesses and what they could testifie for me But my Design in this was That when they had found what I said to be true I was in hopes they would have suffer'd me to Bail But instead of that it turned to my ruin for Dr. Clinch's Coach man went to them and abused them all and every Body else that took my part but however the second Sessions coming on all my friends and Witnesses attended two Days in hopes of my Tryal my Witnesses being in the same House where theirs was and they seeing me so well provided my Tryal was put off till the third Sessions upon pretence that they had discovered something more Now I being in Prison and without Mony and had given them all this trouble and waiting two Sessions all the time of the Sessions they were very uneasie besides being abused by Dr. Clinch's Coachman they would not trouble themselves any more But this I had forgot that most of them denied coming because they said they should be abused and vilified because the Murther was so black that was laid to my Charge Whereupon I was forced to Petition the Lord Chief Justice for Subpoenas which was granted me which was both a great Charge and Trouble I being confined that I could not look after it my self tho' I was promised I should either be Tryed or Balled but instead of that I was more strictly confined Now From the last Sessions till this my Enemies were at work how to bring their Designs about the first thing I heard was That there was a Boy made away and as it was reported by my Contrivance and then he was put in the Gazette but not being found out at my Tryal his Examination was produced as an Evidence which was allowed of as good according to Law and I believe it might be so because my Lord Chief Justice said it was Law Now I do protest I never heard of any Boy an Evidence against me till it was told me in the Press-yard That a Boy was made away that was an Evidence against me whereupon I answered Why did they not try me last
