much about the time of this Business Col. Stanhope About 8 or 10 Days before this unhappy Accident I went to wait upon my Lord of Warwick twice at his Lodgings once I found Captain Coote there one of them was in Bed and the other was Drossing of himself I thought they were very good Friends that were so Familiar and I had good reason to think so because of that familiarity both the times that I was there when I found them together was within eight Days before the Accident happened E. of Warw. The next Witness I shall call will be Mr. Disney Mr. At. Gen. But before Colonel Stanhope goes I desire to ask him this Question Whether he did never hear or know of any Unkindness between my Lord of Warwick and Captain Coote Col. Stanhope No indeed I did not I always thought them to be very good Friends L. H. St. Will your Lordship go on to your next Witness E. of Warw. Yes my Lord there he is Mr. Disney I desire he may be asked what he knows of any Expressions of Kindness and Friendship between me and Captain Coote Mr. Disney About the time that Captain Coote was to have his Commission in the Guards my Lord of Warwick received a Letter from him wherein he desired him to lend him the 100 Guineas according to his offer for he had but 300 by him and he said his Father was unkind to him and he could have no Money from him and he would be honest to him and pay it again as soon as he could my Lord sent for his Steward and ordered him to provide 100 Guineas for Captain Coote while I was there and all the times that ever I saw them together which was very frequent there was the greatest Kindness between them that could be and several times I have seen my Lord of Warwick pay Captain Coote's Reckoning for him and lent him Money when he wanted Money Mr. Att. Gen. I desire to ask you Sir this Question though you are not upon Oath yet you are obliged to speak the Truth in a Court of Justice as much as if you were upon Oath Did you not know or hear any thing of a Misunderstanding or Quarrel about the time that this business happened Mr. Disney No indeed I was with them together but the Day before and frequently and I heard nothing of any Unkindness between them in my Life nor never knew of any Quarrel between them or any reason for it L. H. St. My Lord who is it you call next E. of Warw. Colonel Whiteman Who stood up L. H. St. What do you call this Gentleman for E. of Warw. It is to the same Effect to acquaint your Lordships with what he knows of the Conversation between Captain Coote and me Col. Whiteman My Lord I know my Lord of Warwick and Captain Coote were constant Companions together they Dined together almost every Day for half a Years time almost and as to this time when this Business had happened I went to my Lord of Warwick being sent for by him and found him at a Private Lodging where he expressed a great deal of Concern for the Death of his dear Friend Mr. Coote and he shewed me the Wound he had received in his Hand and he desired he might be private and he told me he believed People would make worse of it then it was because he did not appear but he did but intend to keep himself out of the way till he could be Tryed and I took what care I could to get him a Convenience to go to France Mr. At. Gen. Pray what reason did he give for his going away Col. Whiteman The King being at that time out of England and so the Parliament not Sitting he said he did not love Confinement and had rather be in France till the Parliament should meet and he might have a fair Tryal which he thought he should best have in this House Mr. At. Gen. But pray Sir Consider You are bound to tell Truth and the whole Truth in such a Case as this Are you sure there was no Unkindness or Quarrell between my Lord Warwick and Captain Coote about this time Col. Whiteman Not I never knew of any Quarrel or ●●●●dness between them in all my Life L. H. St. My Lord have you any more Witnesses E. of Warw. I have a great many Witnesses more to the same Purpose but I think I need not trouble your Lordship with them only I would call a Person that has been mentioned that is my Steward L. H. St. What is his Name E. of War Edmund Raymund Who stood up L. H. St. What Questions do you ask him E. of War I desire he may tell what he knows of any Friendship between Captain Coote and me and what particular Instances he can give of it Raymond My Lord I know that my Lord sent for me and said Captain Coote had occasion for 100 Guineas to pay for a Commission in the Guards which he had not Money to make up and I know that they were constant Companions every day did Eat together and often did Lye together and I did provide the 100 Guineas for him and I always did observe that there was a very Great Friendship between them E. of War My Lord the next Witness I shall call will be Mr. French who I hope having been Tried and had his Clergy allowed him will be a good Witness I should be sorry to Interpose any thing that would be a hindrance to your Lordships giving Judgment in this Cause presently he is able to give your Lordships an Account of the whole Matter and though I hope I have no need of calling him as a Witness yet I humbly offer it to your Lordships L. H. St. What say the Councel on the other side E. of War My Lord I do not insist upon it I think I have no need of it L. H. St. Your Lordship must judge for your self how far it is for your advantage to desire that this Matter should be Debated E. of War I do not desire to take up your Lordships time though I am very well advised that he is a good Witness in Law E. of Roch. I apprehended it the Duty of a King's Councel to make Objection against any Witness that should be produced by the Prisoner I am loath to give your Lordships any unnecessary Trouble yet I own that I am not satisfied that a Witness should be Offered and Rejected though the Objection be not made and argued by my Lord the Prisoner at the Bar If a Witness be offered and they think they have an Objection against him if they do insist upon it it will occasion a Debate and then we must Adjourn into the House of Lords L. H. S. It is not insisted upon by my Lord as I apprehend My Lord of Warwick Have you any other Witness you would have called E. of War I desire to ask Mrs. Amy a Question or two Then she stood up L.
