Thomas his order to keep the Peace for of a sudden about 6 or 700 persons were gathered about the door In the Interim Sir Thomas demands of Turner whose money it was finding it sealed with the Lord Bishop of Chichesters seal whose money indeed it was and as his Lordships acquaintance left in Mr. Tryans hands till he should have use of it who answered it was his own and that he received it of a Goldsmith but being farther questioned of what Goldsmith he was at a stand and could not tell In the mean while John Turner the son who was also present got out by a back door and leaping over the pales in a yard behind the house escaped and Sir Thomas having called a Coach with Major Tasker and Mr. Turner attended by the Constable came to Lime-street to Mr. Tryans Sir Thomas having understood from the woman of the house that the money was left there by Mris. Turner for the use of a decayed Merchants family Collonel Turner having sworn that he would keep no money in his house The substance of this he deposed at the Tryal where also Mr. Hanson a Goldsmith deposed the Seal on one of the Baggs to be the same with the Seal of the said Lord Bishop of Chichester on a Letter of his to Mr. Tryan as he had compared them Sir Thomas Chamberlain attested his observation of the busie and troublesome intermedling of the Collonel amongst the neighbours and friends when they were consulting the means of discovery and the Authors and setters of the Robbery whereby he administred visible cause of suspition This Sir Thomas Chamberlain was instantly requested by Mr. Turner for the dear sake of his Wife and Children to be present at his Tryal and he proved the most convincing evidence against him His defence hereto being prolix and very impertinent and of no weight with the Jury besides that it hath been in part publique and is refuted by his own confession as a made story and so incongruous that no Art can make it hang together we purposely omit and shall pleasure the Reader with some Novels which have been brought to our hand during his restraint in Newgate The place no way dismay'd him nor did he alter or vary in the least from his former course of life never a day passing over his head wherein there were not 40. bottles of wine drank up in his Lodging The Sunday after his conviction which was on Saturday night his maid attended him to dress his victuals and a leg of Mutton being roasted for him which she had spitted with the pizzle on he fell into a wild humour and some unlucky words concerning the subject and with the firefork struck through the meat and spoyled it The same day being advised to send to Sr. Thomas Allyn that he would deliver his Petition to the King He protested he would hang first and such was the humour of Honour and ambitious pride in him that at his Tryall he frequently made asseverations by the no other invocation than by my Honour On Munday being sent for down to the Sessions when the Court had got an intimation of the story he refused to confesse as he was desired to do to a Committe of Aldermen till my Lord Mayor came off the Bench to be there present and when he had made that confession he was so bold and familiar with some of those worshipful persons as to tax them of being too liberal in their testimony against him He likewise frankly told them that as to the Robbery it was no such hainous matter for that the old Rogue meaning Mr. Tryan was a miserable fellow and that there was no more or worse thing in doing of it then for a Man to go to a Drapers shop and buy with his ready money as much Cloth as would make him a Suit and Cloak and then send for it home The old fellow will boyl Marrow-bones one day and the next day put in some Cocks or Capons Heads and make strong Broth of them After judgement he was put in the dungeon with the rest that were condemned though much against his will bidding the Officers go forward to his former lodging in the presse yard but it could not be allowed him for that night soon after Mr. Stubs the officer came to see him whom he found with a quart pot in his hand and this language from his mouth Stubs I know you loue burnt wine here 's to you and drank to him and gave him the pot into his hand which proving to be nothing but fair water he added this is all the liquor that I le drink while I am in this world Notwithstanding he endeavoured to prolong his life by alwayes possible sending that night to Captain Tytus Gentleman of his Majesties bed-chamber with whom he had some former acquaintance to entreat his intercession to the King for a reprive the messenger found the Capt. in bed and received this answer from him that for any addresse to the King he knew 't was in vain by what he had already perceived but he would rise and come to him which visit as a noble friend he performed Next morning by the civility of Mr. Iackson Master of Newgate he was removed to his former Lodging in the Presse-yard on this condition that he should be at the charge of two Waiters to guard him in his Chamber which he gladly embraced and thereby importunate messages got speech with Mr. Tryan to whom he said Lord Mr. Tryan what is the reason you would not come near me all this while knowing how much my life concerns you for if I die you will lose 1800 l. which you know I owe you and what good will my blood doe you to which Mr. Tryan made answer that he was willing to doe any thing that lay in his power being here remembred of that dreadful Oath he had taken c. he replied he was no way unmindful of it but had not the Law in his hands And thereupon he consented and promised to go to the King with a Petition accompanied with Mrs. Turner and accordingly did deliver on his Knees the said Petition to his Majesty in the long Gallery and continued in that posture of kneeling plucking the King once or twice by the Cloak as he was going from him urging his loss of the 1800 l and his Oath aforesaid till the King told him he could not doe it for that he had received such an account of him from his Judges and the Magistrates of the City and as to his Oath told him 't was not his doing but the Law which absolved him from the obligation of it He then humbly requested Reprieve for some few weekes but the King would not consent to dayes The same time he laboured by the Ordinary of the prison with the Lord Cheif Iustice Hide for a respite of three or four dayes for better preparation but neither could that be obtained All that VVednesday afternoon although the Ministers
