John Gadbury Sworn L.C.J. Mr. Gadbury What do you know concerning this Plot Mr. Gadbury I know nothing of it neither one way nor another L.C.J. Do you know of any Contrivance of Mrs. Celliers to kill the King Mr. G. No rather the contrary L.C.J. Do you know of any attempts to change the Government M G. I will tell your Lordship what I do know if these Gentlemen will not be too nimble for me I have suffered a great deal of Prejudice of late in relation to a Plot as if I had known of a Plot but God is my Witness I know of none unless it were a Plot to bring Sir Robert Peyton over to the Kings Interest That Plot I had some Concern in and had some knowledge of Mrs. Celliers Concern in it but she was so far from doing any thing against the Kings Interest that she was willing to bring over with him the three Gentlemen turn'd out of Commission when Sir Robert was So that how she could be acting for the King and against the King at the same time I do not understand L.C.J. Mr. Gadbury You are a man of Learning pray will you give your Testimony of the things that you know in relation to Mrs. Cellier Mr. G. Mrs. Cellier was not committed upon my Accusation therefore I hoped she might have been tryed without my Testimony But when I was in danger of my Life when I lay in the Gate-house Mrs. Cellier was reported to be a third Witness against me and then I raked up every trifle but if I had thought it Treason I would have discovered it before And as to that particular Business concerning Mr. Smith that Smith sometime since did come to me being my old Acquaintance to ask my advice in his Affairs and he had then an Affair of so great moment that it was necessary to ask my Advice in it which was to go to the Lords in the Tower I asked him what to do saith he I can say enough against Dr. Oats to serve them and take off his Evidence and asked me if he should do it By no means Mr. Smith said I. Mrs. Cellier afterwards told me this Smith and one Phillips were willing to tell some Stories or other of Mr. Oats and Mr. Bedlow and I told her this very Story saith she you being acquainted with him it is possible you may do some good upon him and saith she I had as lieve as ten Guineys that you could do it L.C.J. That is when that you advised Mr. Smith not to meddle with any thing against Dr. Oats Mr. G. She said she did not care if she had been at the Charge of ten Guineys if he would be honest and discover the Truth And my Lord she did say she had heard Mr. Dangerfield talk of a Nonconformists Plot that would off the Popish Plot. L.C.J. Did she say that she had heard Dangerfield say there was a Nonconformists Plot and that he was to have a Commission among them and did she say that she had heard him say that he hoped under the colour of that the Popish Plot would go on or did she say it of her own accord that she hoped that would carry on the Popish Plot Mr. Gad. My Lord I cannot remember particulars L.C.J. There is a great deal of difference between Dangerfields saying it and her saying it Mr. G. I have no reason to spare her but I am unwilling to speak any thing that is contrary to truth though she hath done me the greatest Injury in the World L.C.J. How came you to talk of a Non-conformists Plot Mr. G.
