ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Did you live with him at the Greyhound tavern
in the Strand the latter end of October last?
CAWTHORNE--Yes, I did.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Well, pray will you acquaint my lords with
the time when my lord of Warwick, my lord Mohun, and Mr. Coote
were at that house, how long they stayed, what happened while
they were there, and when they went away?
CAWTHORNE--It was Saturday night, the 29th of October last.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Pray tell my lords the whole of your
knowledge in the matter.
CAWTHORNE--There came my lord of Warwick, my lord Mohun,
captain Coote, capt. French, and captain Dockwra, the 29th of
October last, in the evening, to my master's house at the
Greyhound tavern in the Strand.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--How long were they there, and what time of
night came they in?
CAWTHORNE--About 8 o'clock at night, my lord Warwick, my lord
Mohun, capt. French, and capt. Coote, came in.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--What day do you say it was?
CAWTHORNE--Saturday, the 29th of October last.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--How long did they continue there?
CAWTHORNE--It was between one and two the next morning before
they went away.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Was any body sent for to come to them there?
CAWTHORNE--Yes, Mr. James.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--What time was that?
CAWTHORNE--About twelve of the clock.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Did he stay with them till they went away?
CAWTHORNE--Yes.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--What did you observe pass in the company
while they were there?
CAWTHORNE--I did not observe any thing of quarrel, not so much
as an angry word amongst them, till they came down to the bar
and were going away; when they came down to the bar they
ordered me to call them chairs, or coaches; and there were no
coaches to be had, and so I went for chairs, and two chairs
came; for the porter that went to call the coaches was a great
while before he came back; and, as I said, I going for chairs,
there came two; but that they said was not enough; so more
chairs were called for, and at length there were more chairs
gotten; in the first three chairs, my lord of Warwick, my lord
Mohun, and captain Coote went away in; and my lord Warwick and
my lord Mohun bid the chairmen carry them home.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Were there then any other chairs at the door?
CAWTHORNE--There were two more chairs at the door, and another
was called for.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Did you hear any directions given where they
should carry them?
CAWTHORNE--My lord Warwick and my lord Mohun bid them carry
them home.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Did you hear my lord Warwick or my lord Mohun
particularly, and which, say whither they would be carried?
