I met him at the door before he was call'd I told him I supposed the chief Question that would be put to him would be Whose this 500 l. was and begged of him that he would discover what he knew of it Upon his coming out from the Council I asked him if that was not the question they put to him he told me it was I asked him what account he had given them he told me he thought they were satisfied for they were very kind to him and promised him that so long as they lived he should have the protection of that Board On Tuesday the 4th of February following Sir Joseph Williamson seeing me at the Council-door called me in and asked me if I thought I could get any more out of Nettervile I told him I thought he had given him satisfaction when he was before them concerning whose the money was I told Sir Joseph the discourse I had with Nettervile at his going into the House and at his coming back then he told me that he had not been ingenuous with them for he would confess nothing at first but after some Questions being asked in general terms he told them that it was to come from some of the Lords in the Tower and desired me that I would go once more to see if I could get any thing from him The next morning the Earl of Essex desired to speak with me I waited upon him at the Council-Chamber and he desired me also that I would go to Mr. Nettervile to see what I could get further from him So on Thursday the 6th of February I did go to Mr. Nettervile and told him I was not come on a bare visit but I was commanded by the Earl of Essex and Sir Joseph Williamson whom he knew had both been very kind to him to advise him that he would be ingenuous and discover what further he knew in this business Truly said I I suppose all they do expect from you is that you would make some clear discovery unto them whose money this 500 l. was saith he Swearing by his Soul I did tell them all I knew I thought they had been satisfied no said I they are not and Sir Joseph Williamson saith you were not ingenuous for you only in general terms told them it was some of the Lords money in the Tower Now if you can remember which of the Lords money it was it may satisfie them for they judg and so do I and every one else that Russel would as easily tell you whose it was as to tell you it was some of the Lords in the Tower I could get no more from him a great while but after we had sate and discoursed some time he told me that Brewer was to be before the Council the next day and he believed he should be sent for too I suppose not said I unless I have some better account to give them from you so just upon my coming away I told him Mr. Nettervile I am sorry I can give no better account of my Journey to you therefore pray if you have any thing more to say let me know it before I go After he had paused a while By my Soul said he I cannot remember the particular name of any Lord but one Who is that said I my Lord Stafford saith he but all the rest were to contribute to it for Russel told me he was to go immediately to the Tower to get the Money raised and that it was a difficult thing to get all the Lords together and if he should go to them apart they might make scruples and so delay the business and therefore he should make all the haste he could to get the Money ready A Relation of other Material Circumstances and Discourses in reference to the before-mentioned design LEst the Jesuitical party should say of the following Proceedings that they are false and feigned as their Impudence affirmeth in all other inventions of theirs when detected 'T is necessary the World should understand the occasional Circumstances introducing this hellish attaque to be made upon this honest Gentleman Captain Bury who for his worth and reputation is known to several persons of Honour and good Quality in this Nation The affairs that brought him into England from his habitation in the Kingdom of Ireland was to Petition His Majesty and the Honourable Privy-Council touching a Debt due to his Father Sir William Bury of Grantham in Lincolnshire deceased for his service in being one of His Majesties Lords Commissioners for managing the Government of Ireland and in prosecution thereof being several times in company with Mr. Nettervile who was formerly a Clerk in the Court of Claims in Dublin and who pretended to inform the Captain of several concealed Lands and Houses in Ireland which he might place his Debt upon And upon the Captains receipt of his said Letter of the 11th of January 1678 desiring a speedy Conference with the Captain touching matters which may redound to his advantage which the Captain readily embraced supposing it referred to the said concealed Houses and Lands and according to Netterviles request by his Note on the said 13th of January last the Captain visited the said Nettervile in the Marshalsey in Southwark when instead of a Communication as to the aforesaid concerns the said Nettervile being no stranger to the Captains long abode here and the expence he had been at in his solicitation took the opportunity to feel the Captains pulse as to the horrid fact before-mentioned Prima facie It astonished the honest Captain to think that Nettervile had discovered a matter of that nature to him and considering if he should reveal it to any one there would be but his asserting it and Netterviles denial besides the censure the World would pass on the Captains Reputation from the apprehension in Netterviles breast that the Captain would be or was fit to be profligated in such a concern which with the danger and hazard he might expose his life to by such discovery and the urgency of his particular affairs requiring his personal and speedy attendance in Dublin having two Conditional Decrees awarded against him which would have been made absolute this last Hillary-Term for want of his appearance there All these Considerations made him sometimes resolve within himself to stifle the wicked proposal of Nettervile But weighing the direful effects of such a contrivance which if prosecuted by some other Instruments when he was departed this Kingdom would not only have been the destruction of his intimate friend and old acquaintance Mr. Blood but prejudicial to His Majesty and the whole Kingdom in taking off the evidence of Mr. Oats and Mr. Bedlow and thereby the Papists might still carry on their devilish design and plot when they had washed their own hands and made such an alteration when the innocent would have been ruined and the true Bloodsuckers acquitted This Consideration so affected the Captain that he resolved to leave the event of his
