Sir Francis Withins My Lord and Gentlemen I am of Counsel in this Case for the King against the Prisoners at the Bar. There are three of them Indicted as Principals in this Murder the fourth as Accessory before In this Case that is now before you Gentlemen I cannot chuse but take Notice unto you that a Murder of this Nature has never been heard of to be perpetrated upon English Ground both in respect of the Person Murdered and in respect of the Circumstances of the Fact For the Person Murdered a Gentleman of that Quality and Estate that he hath left but few equals behind him That this Man being in his Coach should be way-layed surprized Murdered and this Murder Committed in the midst of our Streets is that which works Amazement in all English hearts And our only Comfort upon this sad Occasion is that there is not one Native of this Countrey found amongst all those that are Accused to be Instruments in this Barbarous Fact I did Observe to you Gentlemen before that there are three named to be Principals Borosky whom for distinction sake I shall call by the name of the Polander Vratz who is called the

Order was brought to your Lodging was provided for there that he had Clothes and he had a Sword provided by your Lordship for him and that there was care taken that it should be an extraordinary good Sword that you did discourse to Mr. Hanson about your calling of Mr. Thynne to account and this much about the time or a little before the time of his death and what the Laws of England would be in case you should call Mr. Thynne to account and particularly you desired to know what Monsieur Lienberg's Opinion might be concerning it and especially what in relation to my Lady Ogle And that after all this Mr. Borosky was not only Clothed by you but was sent by you to Vratz that the Doctor says and after Vratz him that he lay in your Lodging that Night before this evil thing was done and that after the thing was done the same Night Vratz came to your Lodging and was with you and had private Conference with you that the next Morning you got up and went away tho' you had taken Physick the Night before and tho' you your self nor your Doctor thought you fit to go abroad and you go away incognito in a Perriwig disguised you direct your Servant to carry your Clothes one way while you go another then you go down to the Water-side and lye private near the River at a Swedes House at Rotherith for several days together you afterwards take great care to conceal your self by changing your Clothes and putting your self into a garb not like your own giving out you were a Merchant or a Jeweller or some other Trade that afterwards you trifled away the time and went 2 or 3 miles and then struck in upon one side of the River and afterwards on the other side of the River suspitiously up and down not to be known and this not like your self in any manner but in a pitiful poor disguise and hire a sculler to carry you from whom you concealed your self and so all along you trifled away the time till you were taken at Graves-end that afterwards when you were taken you were inquisitive about the Captain whether he did confess that you should likewise say some such suspitious words as these That you believed those that killed Mr. Thynne had no design against the Duke of Monmouth that you believed the Captain would not confess that you seemed to be concerned when you were told the Polander had Confessed that afterwards you should say my Lord this is a stain to my blood but one good Action in the Wars or a Lodging upon a Counterscarp will take away all this or wash it clean And then which is also testified against you that you should ask the Boy that very Morning of the day the murder was committed whether they used in London here to permit Men to ride up and down on Horse-back upon a Sunday Now these things my Lord it will import you to give some account of Sir N. Johnson My Lord says he desires he may Answer all these things one after another L. C. Justice Let him do so And first let him answer what his reason was to come into England in such a manner Incognito at this time and lye concealed when he had been in England before and lived in a mighty good Equipage Condition Mr. Craven My Lord he says that hearing there was a Peace between Sweedland and England and Holland designed and like to be confirmed suddenly against the French he came with a design to serve England and to raise a Regiment of Horse here for the service of the King of England Count Conningsmarke If any such Peace should be if any appearance of an Alliance between England and Holland and Sweedland I had a design to propose if I could have a Regiment L. C. Justice Why did he come unknown and in a disguise Sir N. Johnson Secondly He says my Lord the reason of his coming Incognito was because he had a distemper upon his Arms and Breast and having formerly tryed and imployed this Physitian and having experience that he was an able man he was resolved to lye privately till he had cured himself for he could not drink Wine nor keep Company having this distemper upon him and he was afraid if he had kept Company it would have hindred his Cure and he should not have been so soon cured as if he kept in the house and he says that his Equipage could not come till after and he would not willingly appear till he had his Equipage as a man of his quality ought to do and these were the reasons that made him keep private L. C. Justice Pray ask him upon what occasion he did change his Lodgings so often Sir N. Johnson He says that his first Lodging was changed because it was too cold for him and he says the next Lodging where he was those that were there can tell the room where he was smoaked so cruelly that he was not able to endure it And he says he liked the house so well that he sent to see if the Chimney could be mended and it was not to be done otherwise he had gone back to that house and he has the man and his wife to bear Witness of it if you please L. C. Justice Let him call them Count. Call Joseph Parsons and his wife but they did not appear L. C. Justice Then ask my Lord this To what purpose he did bring over this Polander here he ought to consider of that and give an account why he brought him hither Interpreter He says this Pole was taken into his Service when he went to Tangier when he went several 1000 of Miles to do the King Service and he had designed at that time to bring him into England to dress his Horses after the German way L. C. Justice Had the Polander been a Groom formerly Interpreter He says he thinks he had been Groom to his Uncle before L. C. Justice But to what purpose did he bring him hither Interpreter He says there was a great discourse about Strasburgh's being besieged he did design to buy some Horses for every one did Arm themselves and he says he sent over 1000 Pistolls to be answered by the Merchants here to buy Horses L. C. Justice Hath he any body to prove it Count. There is Mr. Risby Mr. Hanson and my Brother Young Count. My Lord I had a Bill of Exchange L. C. Justice For how much Money my Lord Young Count. For 1000 Pistolls to buy Horses and he has bought one Horse and was to buy more L. C. Justice Do you hear Gentlemen what he says He came over to buy Horses and he returned 1000 Pistolls for that purpose and his Brother does attest there was such a Sum returned by Bills of Exchange for the Buying of Horses Interpreter My Lord he says he does fear that the Jury that do not understand English do not understand his Reasons for being in a disguise L. C. Justice
