they went a way together leaving Symbal and Jones in the Tavern and when Sir Richard and Hilton were gone Jones swore Dam him he would do both their Business that night And having got two more of

his Caul comeing forth at his wound he had Received on his left side he not being able to stand any longer staggered bewixt Symbal and Jones and then Symbal Joyned with Jones against Hilton and their two Comrades that were going from them hearing the noise one of them came and laid hold of Hiltons Sword-hand at which time Symbal run Hilton through his Left side into his Lungs then both Symbal and Jones with their Comrades fled this was done betwixt nine and ten of the Clock in the evening And Sir Richard Lived in Great Torment untill almost ten of the Clock the next morning And finding it Impossible for him to survive he declared to the Prosecutor and to several others that he Received that wound in his left side which was his mortal wound from Symbal and that he gave him it unawars when his Sword was in his scabbard at his side and without any manner of Provocation Sir Richard being dead and the Coroner being sent for bound a Gentleman a friend of Sir Richards who was with him when he Died to make Prosecution and summoning a Jury the inquest found it Murther in Symbal and Jones Aiding Assisting Abetting Concurring and Comforting in the said Murther Whilst the Coroners Inquest was sitting the Prosecutor came into one of the rooms of the House where they were to speak with some of the witnesses he met there with one that he never had seen before and fancied that it might be one of Sir Richards Murtherers and going to take a strict view of him the party seemd to be shie of him it Confirmed him in his opinion that it must be one of the four that persued Sir Richard and Hilton after their going out of the Tavern and the Prosecutor going to speak with a Gentleman in the room could not forbear observing the stranger who took the opportunity of the slipping down stairs when he saw the Prosecutor busie which he seeing followed and comeing to him desired to know his name but he denying to tell it the Prosecutor seised him and secured him and knowing that some in the house did know if he were one of the four Persuers had two Examined upon oath who both confessed they did know him and that he was one of them after which he confest it himself and that he was the man that held Hilton by the sword-Sword-hand when Symbal gave him the wound in his left side Then the Prosecutor made it his Business to find out the rest of the Murtherers and being in St. James's Parke considering with himself what course was best to be taken for the Apprehending them immediately he espyed comeing into the Park several persons which he knew to be Jone's Companions upon sight of whom it came into his mind that several of these being necessitous it was probable that for a sum of money some of them would discover to him where the Murtherers were or at least tell them his Proposals and hoped it might chance to fright them out of the Town and then he did believe that he should have them taken Being much moved with this Perswasion he stepd in amongst them and openly declared that he was the Prosecutor of Symbal and Jones and that he would give Ten pounds Reward to any that would secure Symbal or Jones and Twenty pounds for the securing of them both or to any that would inform him where they were and assist him in the securing of them that he did intend to publish this reward in the next Gazette The next day several came and promised the Prosecutor that if he would get the Lord Chiefe Justice
