Trials -- Great Britain
J. GURREY--I was in at night when they came; there came three
of them at eleven at night, whereof Mr. Marson was the third
person and he said he was destitute of a lodging and he asked
for a spare bed; my wife told him she had one, but had let it;
whereupon Mr. Stevens and Mr. Rogers said he should lodge with
them; so they went up altogether, and they called for a fire to
be kindled, and asked for the landlord, which was I, and they
asked me to fetch a bottle of wine, and I told them I would
fetch a quart, which I did, and then they asked me to sit down
and drink with them, which I did; and then they asked me if one
Mrs. Sarah Stout did not live in the town, and whether she was
a fortune? I said Yes. Then they said they did not know how to
come to the sight of her; and I said I would shew them her
to-morrow morning, not questioning but I might see her sometime
as she was coming down the street; so they said they would go
to see her. Mr. Rogers and Mr. Stephens charged Mr. Marson with
being her old sweet-heart; saith Mr. Marson, she hath thrown me
off, but a friend of mine will be even with her by this time.
HATSELL, BARON--What o'clock was it then?
J. GURREY--I reckon eleven of the clock when they came in.
HATSELL, BARON--Did you observe in what condition Mr. Marson
was in?
J. GURREY--I did not observe, only that he was hot, and put by
his wig; I see his head was wet, and he said he was just come
from London, and that made him in such a heat.
JONES--Had he shoes or boots on?
J. GURREY--I did not observe that.
JONES--What did they do the next day?
