HOBBS--Yes, several times; Mahony put the coffee, and some bread and butter, and made the toast, and did everything for the captain, I thought he had been his footman. When the captain had breakfasted, and had made the men welcome, he shifted himself (some porter brought fresh clothes to him). By and by a man rid along, who, I believe, was sir John Goodere's man, with pistols before him; I heard somebody say that it was his man: and soon after the captain had shifted himself, Mahony went out about a quarter of an hour, and came back sweating, and went up to the captain; and I looking out of the window saw the man on horseback, and leading another horse (which I took to be his master's) and by and by sir John mounted, and rid down between my house and the church; and I had some glimpse of him, and heard the captain say, Look well at him, but don't touch him. THE RECORDER--This you heard the gentleman above stairs say to the four men below? HOBBS--Yes, Sir, he spoke these words to the four who came in. VERNON--Did sir John and his man appear to have any arms? HOBBS--Yes, Sir, they had both pistols before them. VERNON--Those men that were along with Mahony, do you know what ship they belonged to? HOBBS--There was a young man, I believe something of an officer, came to my wife, and asked her, Is the captain of the man-of-war here? She answered that she did not know; but there was a gentleman above, and there were six other men besides in the other room in another company, which I did not know belonged to the captain, until he ordered six pints of ale for them. The captain ordered entertainment for ten men. VERNON--Where were those six men? HOBBS--In the kitchen; they did not belong to the man-of-war, nor were not in company with the other four. VERNON--Now, will you proceed to give an account what followed upon Mr. Goodere's saying, Look well at him, but don't touch him. HOBBS--As soon as sir John went down the hill, this Mahony stept up to the captain and came down again, and he and the other three in his company went down the hill, and the captain followed them; the clothes which the captain pulled off were left in the room; when the captain was going out at the door with his sword and cloak, I thought I was pretty safe of my reckoning, because of his clothes being left. The captain said at the door, Landlady, I will come back and pay you presently. VERNON--How long was it before Mr. Goodere returned to your house?
