Trials -- Great Britain
CAWTHORNE--Yes, my lord, there was always a great kindness
between them, as I observed: it ever was so, and I never heard
angry words pass between them, but they were very good friends
constantly; I waited upon them generally when they were at my
master's house, which was every day almost.
EARL OF WARWICK--I desire to know of this witness, whether he
does not remember, or can name, some particular kindnesses that
passed between Mr. Coote and me?
LORD HIGH STEWARD--Can you specify any particular instances of
kindness that passed between my lord Warwick and Mr. Coote?
CAWTHORNE--Yes; my lord of Warwick used generally to pay the
reckoning for Mr. Coote, and he did so at this time.
EARL OF WARWICK--My lord, I desire he may be asked, between
whom he apprehended the quarrel to be at this time?
LORD HIGH STEWARD--You say, friend, there were swords drawn and
a quarrelling at the bar; can you tell between whom the quarrel
was?
CAWTHORNE--My lord Warwick, my lord Mohun, and capt. Coote,
were all on one side, and the other three were on the other
side.
EARL OF WARWICK--Who were the two persons that it was
apprehended the quarrel was between? I desire he may be asked.
LORD HIGH STEWARD--You say, there were three on the one side,
and three on the other; pray, between whom did you apprehend
the quarrel to be?
CAWTHORNE--I believe the quarrel was between Mr. Coote and Mr.
French.
EARL OF WARWICK--My lord, I desire to know of this witness,
what words he heard Mr. Coote say after he and Mr. French
returned into the house and came out of the chairs.
LORD HIGH STEWARD--What do you say to the question my lord
proposes?
CAWTHORNE--I heard Mr. Coote say, he would laugh when he
pleased, and he would frown when he pleased, God damn him.
EARL OF WARWICK--My lord, I desire to know, who he thinks those
words were addressed to?
LORD HIGH STEWARD--To whom did Mr. Coote speak these words?
CAWTHORNE--Whether he spoke them particularly to Mr. French or
to the other two gentlemen who were on the other side of the
bar, I cannot directly tell.
EARL OF WARWICK--I desire to know of him, whether Mr. Coote was
not one of the three that was on the outside of the bar?
CAWTHORNE--Yes, my lord of Warwick, my lord Mohun, and capt.
Coote, were of the outside of the bar.
EARL OF WARWICK--Was capt. Coote with me in the beginning of
the night at that house?
CAWTHORNE--Yes, he came at the beginning of the night with my
lord of Warwick.
EARL OF PETERBOROUGH--My lords, I desire to ask this witness
one question.
LORD HIGH STEWARD--I think it is proper, my lords, in point of
method, to let both sides have done before any questions be
asked by any of my noble lords.
