ROGERS--We came down with the marshal of the King's bench, it rained every step of the way, so that my spatter-dashes and shoes were fain to be dried; and it raining so hard, we did not think Mr. Marson would have come that day, and therefore we provided but one bed, though otherwise we should have provided two, and were to give a crown for our night's lodging. We went from the coffee-house to the tavern, as Mr. Marson has said, and from the tavern the next way to our lodging, where there was some merry and open discourse of this gentlewoman; but I never saw her in my life, nor heard of her name before she was mentioned there. STEPHENS--We never stirred from one another, but went along with the marshal of the King's bench, to accompany my lord chief-justice out of town, as is usual. HATSELL, BARON--I thought it had been as usual for him to go but half the way with my lord chief-justice. ROGERS--They generally return back after they have gone half the way, but some of the head officers go throughout. STEPHENS--It was the first circuit after the marshal came into his office, and that is the reason the marshal went the whole way. HATSELL, BARON--Did not you talk of her courting days being over? PRISONERS--Not one word of it; we absolutely deny it. STEPHENS--I never saw her. JONES--Mr. Marson, did you ride in boots? MARSON--Yes. JONES--How came your shoes to be wet? MARSON--I had none. _Hunt_ gave an account of how he was at the Old Devil Tavern at Temple Bar, on Sunday night, and Marson and three or four others of Clifford's Inn being there at the same time, discoursing of the marshal's attending the Lord Chief-Justice to Hertford, Marson said he too might be required to go; on which one of the company said, 'If you do go to Hertford, pray enquire after Mr. Marshall's mistress, and bring us an account of her;' and it was this discourse that gave occasion to talk of Mrs. Stout at Gurrey's house, which was done openly and harmlessly. This story was corroborated by one Foster, who had been at the Devil; and Stephens offered to call another witness to the same purpose, but was stopped by the judge. _Hanks_ was called, and gave the same account of his arrival in Hertford as Marson had already given. He was in Marson's company from the time he met him till he left him at his lodgings, at about eleven o'clock. _Rutkin_ was called by Marson to give an account of his coming to Hertford.
