ATTORNEY-GENERAL--If my noble lords have done with their questions I desire to ask this witness another question; my lords, I think this person says, that there was a quarrel at the bar of the house, and swords drawn, and as he apprehended, three were on the one side, and three on the other; but if I take him right, I do not see that he has given your lordships any manner of satisfaction, what reason he had to apprehend there were three and three of a side; or, which will be very material in this case, if your lordships can get to the knowledge of it, which three were on the one side, and which three were on the other; or indeed, whether there were three and three of a side, as your lordships will have reason by-and-bye to enquire a little further into that matter. My lords, I desire he may be asked this plain question, What words or other passages he did perceive, that made him apprehend there was a quarrel between them, and they were three and three of a side? CAWTHORNE--I apprehended it from the words that Mr. Coote said, That he would laugh when he pleased, and frown when he pleased. ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Pray, my lord, I desire he may be asked, who those words were spoken to, and who they were applied to? CAWTHORNE--They were spoke to Mr. James, Mr. French, and Mr. Dockwra, who were within side of the bar. ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Did he apply those words to all those particular persons? CAWTHORNE--Yes, as I thought, for they three were within the bar; my lord Warwick, my lord Mohun, and Mr. Coote, were without the bar. ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Pray, my lord, I desire he may be asked this question. Was that before the swords were drawn, or afterwards? CAWTHORNE--It was before. ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Then I desire he may be asked, whether the swords were drawn upon those words? CAWTHORNE--No, my lord; the time of drawing the swords was when I went out to call chairs and coaches; and I know not who drew the swords first, or when they were drawn; but when I came back I found them all drawn, and I heard them clashing. ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Upon the oath you have taken, was those words that you speak of Mr. Coote's that he would laugh when he pleased, and frown when he pleased, before the swords were drawn, or after the swords were drawn? CAWTHORNE--Before the swords were drawn; for I did not see the swords drawn till I came back.
