Upon Thursday the 23d of January Mr. Brooks met with the Captain and told him what Nettervile had related to him of the business of Captain Kelly in the Tower He told him the story as you find in his Information And further told the Captain that he had another Letter which he was going to carry to Captain Kelly in the Tower and Nettervile told him the said Mr. Brooks that if Captain Kelly did not send him the 7 l. he the said Nettervile did know enough to turn him out of the Tower I have saith Brooks taken a Copy of this Letter and the Captain desired he might see it which he did and the Contents were to signifie to Captain Kelly what a fright the said Nettervile had been put into by Mr. Oats and Mr. Bedlow having been with him And therefore Nettervile desired Captain Kelly to send him the 7 l. to discharge him out of that prison lest wrose should come on it and upon the Captains reading the Copy of the said Letter he desired Mr. Brooks not to be too hasty in delivering that Letter to Captain Kelly but that he would draw up by way of Information what he had told him and go along with the said Captain to Sir Joseph Williamson and give in the Information and take his advice So that on Friday the 24th of January the Captain and Mr. Brooks went to Sir Joseph Williamson and gave him the Information and the said Letter with the Copy thereof Then Sir Joseph told the Captain and Mr. Brooks that the Committee of Lords was going to sit and that they should attend at the Council-door and he would call them in that they might know their Lordships pleasure as to the delivery of the Letter to Captain Kelly After debate their Lordships were of opinin That the Letter should not be delivered but thought they had sufficient ground to seize Capt. Kelly and to search his house for Dominick Kelly and for papers in order to which Sir Joseph Williamson was sent for his Grace the Duke of Monmouth who immediately came to the Council where the Lords acquainted his Grace with the business and desired he would give Mr. Brooks a Warrant to fetch Capt. Kelly His Grace was pleased to send for his Secretary and ordered him immediately to draw a Warrant directed to Sir John Robinson to assist them with a Guard for executing the Warrant and Nettervile was ordered to be brought to the Council that afternoon And so the Captain and Mr. Brooks accompanied with Sir William Waller went to the Tower and being guarded by Sir John Robinson came to Captain Kellys house and there his Foot-boy came to the door and upon enquiry for his Master the Boy replied he was not within they askt him if he knew where he was the Boy told them no for he dined abroad They went into the House and in the Room where the Lord Stafford lodgeth they found Capt. Kelly and brought him to the Council with what papers they could find but Nettervile had been examined and was gone away before and had confessed the sending the Letters and Capt. Kellys being with them in the Marshalseys c. The Captain thereupon was put into the Messengers hands and ordered to be brought before their Lordships next
