_Atterbury_ was called, and swore that Sir Hugh Campbell was in his custody; was captured 'making his escape out of a woodmonger's house, both he and his son'; he owned that he had been in London four days, and that he and his son and Bailey came to town together. _West[20] was then called and sworn._ ATTORNEY-GENERAL--That which I call you to, is to know whether or no, in your managery of this plot, you understand any of the lords were concerned, and which. MR. WEST--My lord, as to my lord Russell, I never had any conversation with him at all, but that I have heard this, that in the insurrection in November, Mr. Ferguson and colonel Rumsey did tell me that my lord Russell intended to go down and take his post in the West, when Mr. Trenchard had failed them. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--What is this? ATTORNEY-GENERAL--We have proved my lord privy to the consults; now we go about to prove the under-actors did know it. WEST--They always said my lord Russell was the man they most depended upon, because he was a person looked upon as of great sobriety. LORD RUSSELL--Can I hinder people from making use of my name? To have this brought to influence the gentlemen of the jury, and inflame them against me, is hard. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--As to this, the giving evidence by hearsay will not be evidence; what colonel Rumsey, or Mr Ferguson told Mr. West, is no evidence. ATTORNEY-GENERAL--It is not evidence to convict a man, if there were not plain evidence before; but it plainly confirms what the other swears: but I think we need no more. JEFFREYS--We have evidence without it, and will not use anything of garniture; we will leave it as it is, we won't trouble your lordship any further. I think, Mr. Attorney, we have done with our evidence. The Lord Chief-Justice then recapitulated the evidence given against Lord Russell, dwelling particularly on the traitorous character of Rumsey's message, Russell's privity to Trenchard's rising, the alleged written declaration, and the consultations as to the best method of effecting a rising, and finally called on Lord Russell to make his defence.
