he that had ruined the Widow and Fatherless but one Mr. Harrison who was a Gamester and spent and play'd away all her money and so Mr. Row and his Agents made it their business to make him believe so and every one else that was concerned but more particularly her Relations fearing lest they should undertake her just Cause being monied People and persons of great Note and Credit and he did effect his design for from that time till now her Relations would not look upon her nor hear any thing of her because he had so bespattered her concerning me Now was the time I told her that I would use my endeavours and interest with the Dr. who was my very good Friend and for several years had known him for he had been my Physitian and many times when he saw me told me he would come Day or Night to serve me if I had need for him Nay further than that at the time the Duke of Norfolks Regiment was to be raised he told me if I would have a Commission in that Regiment he had that Interest with the Duke that he believed he could do any thing with him but I told him I was engaged to a Person of Quality already Now let the Reader judge whether or no I had any reason to injure the Dr. or much more to Murder him Now was the time also I solicited the Dr. upon the Widows Account who always shewed me Civility and Respect and never an Angry word past betwixt us And also about this time the Dr. imploy'd one Mr. Johnson of Furnivals-Inn to look after the business Says the Dr. Mr. Harrison I do not understand the Law and besides that I have a great deal of business otherwise I cannot trouble my self but I have left it all to Mr. Johnson Upon this I told the Widow what the Dr. had done That he had left it all to one Mr. Johnson whereupon she replied That she was got out of the Frying-pan into the Fire for her Relations knew who he was but I was altogether a Stranger to Mr. Johnson Now pray observe that at that time all our Applications to the Dr. or Mr. Johnson was to let her have a little more money till she had made an end in Chancery and got Row out from his Trusteeship for she intended to undertake some Imploy to maintain her self and Children and that the Dr. should have possession of both the Houses for his Security and we would endeavour to get a Decree in Chancery for that purpose The Dr. and I many times argued the Case and once or twice computed the In-come of the Estate and what might be lent upon it The Dr. was sensible of the Wrongs done the Widow and would have helped her in any thing if Mr. Johnson had not prevented him Now you must understand the Widow could do nothing to help her self as to raising of Mony for these 2 Reasons First Because Row was Trustee and not then turned out nor is yet as you will understand by the Sequel of the Story So now to come back to Mr. Row where I mentioned him as to his absconding himself that the Messenger could not take him whereas by an other Order made the Twenty Sixth day of May 1691. It was ordered one Mr. Royor and Royley Mr. Edwards and Dr. Clinch were to attend Sir John Hoskyns about the Matters in question for you must know that we had the wole Business on the Stage as to all the Persons concerned in putting that Purchase upon her and by what devices and means Mr. Row got in to be Trustee Now this was the time that Dr. Clinch first began to be displeased and so was Mr. Fairbeard his Counsel and Mr. Johnson for bringing his Name in question where so black a Case appeared to the Lords Commissioners on Row's Account saying Have not I lent my Mony and paid it honestly Yes Sir I know it but Row received the most of it and the Widow cannot get an Account of it and it was by our Counsel's Advice that we did it for by the Dr's appearing before the Mr. in Chancery all was made clear how Mr. Row and his Confederates were the Persons that had ruined the Widow and her Children as by the Report does appear which ought to be inserted here But no more of that I hope now her Relations will have pity of her disconsolate condition being the most wronged Widow in the World to whom I have ordered the Papers of the Proceedings of her Cause to be carefully delivered Only thus much of the Report made by Sir John Hoskyns which I shewed my Lord Chief Justice at my Tryal But he told me it would signifie nothing to my Tryal which is thus verbatim And as for Dr. Clinch his matter I find that the said Dr. Clinch was desired by the said Mrs Vauwick and Mr. Row presently after the said Purchase of the said 2 Houses to lend the said Mrs. Vauwick an Hundred Pound to furnish one of the said Houses and there being a Debt of 14 l. that was due to Dr. Clinch from the said Mrs. Vauwick's late Husband Deceased and about 3 l. 17 s. for Interest thereof the said Dr. Clinch did lend the said Mrs. Vauwick Two Guineas more which made it up Twenty Pounds and the said Mrs. Vauwick secured the said Twenty Pounds by her Bond and the said Dr. Clinch at their the said Row and Vauwick's Desire did undertake to lend it upon his being secured the said 100 l. and the said 20 l. in all 120 l. by a Mortgage of one of the said Two Houses to be paid at times in the Deeds for that purpose mentioned the which 100 l. I find was paid and disposed and received thus 41 l. 15 s. to the said Mrs. Vauwick 5 l. to Mr. Fairbeard and his Clerk for Writings 3 l. for the ensuring Mrs. Vauwick's Life and 50 l. 5 s. to the said Mr. Row for the use of Mrs Vauwick Now we having got this Report all our business was done with Dr. Clinch and this Report was Signed 8th of August 1691. by Sir John Hoskyns By this Report it appears who wronged the Widow as you will find also by a Petition here inserted upon which the Widow was to have an Hearing The Petition was thus verbatim To the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal of England the Humble Petition of Anna Katherina Vauwick and her 4 small Children sheweth THat your Petitioner has been basely defrauded of all she has by Robert Row a pretended Attorney of the Common Pleas and that your Petitioner being advised by the Lord Chief Justice Holt to petition your Lordships provided he did not come to an Account and pay your Petitioner the Monies he so unjustly detained from her upon pretence of being her Trustee And the said Row failing his Promise to the said Lord Chief Justice your Petitioner petitioned your Lordships accordingly about 4 Months ago and upon hearing what
