think that I understand the law no better, being a justice of peace, to bring myself into danger? All the kindness I can do for you is (to be short), I must send you and your wife to Newgate. 'How say you, master Alderman?' Then I had better to have kept the jewels. Those were his words; to the best of my remembrance he said so. My lord, I asked him several questions: Why he should give a bond for £600, if he were not concerned in this business? But he knew not what to answer. Saith he, Will you not take bail? Said I, I can take no bail: I must send you to the common gaol, and then I am discharged. Pray send me to the Compter. No I cannot. Do you think I would make an escape? I cannot tell; but I would not bring myself into danger. He prayed me I would give him leave to go home. I must make my warrant: If the marshal and constable will do anything, I shall not direct them. He desired his wife might go and fetch some linen. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE BRIDGMAN--What day were the jewels delivered? SIR T. ALEYN--Saturday. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE BRIDGMAN--Thursday was the robbery, Friday he was examined, Saturday the money was removed, and that night the jewels were brought and he committed. SIR T. ALEYN--If I have said any thing that he is not satisfied wherein I have not true spoken, let him ask me; I shall not do him the least wrong. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE HYDE--Do so, Mr. Turner. TURNER--Do your honours understand of Sir Thomas the time the robbery was committed? I shall ask him some questions. SIR T. ALEYN--I have only one more word to say to you: That before he went to the Hoop-tavern, Nay, said I, col. Turner, be ingenuous whether this was not Mr. Tryon's money that he removed? And he confessed it was. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE HYDE--The money was removed from his own house. SIR T. ALEYN--Yes; but his wife, children, and maid denied it. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE HYDE--Mr. Turner, will you ask him any questions? What are they? TURNER--I would ask all this back again: You are upon your oath, Mr. Alderman. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE HYDE--You need not tell him that he is sworn; the court and jury understand it so. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE BRIDGMAN--Go on, Mr. Turner; ask your questions. TURNER--My Lord, I demand of sir Thomas Aleyn whether I did not tell him at the first there was a wicked young man had belied my house and family, saying, that he supped there that night, when he had not supped at my house these 12 months. SIR T. ALEYN--I think I have done him that right already. He desired me to examine that young man, who said he had supped at col. Turner's; but I found he had not been, nor was not there.
