APPLEGATE--I cannot tell whether I had lighted my pipe, or was
just lighting it, when I heard chairs called again; upon which
we run up with our chairs towards the upper end of the fields,
and there I did see my lord of Warwick within the rails, who
bid us put over our chair into the fields; but we told him, if
we did, we could not get it over again; and so we went with our
chair to the corner of the fields; and when we came there,
there came out captain French, who bid us open our chairs, and
let him in, for he did believe he was a dead man; and upon that
we did take him in, and he bid us carry him with all the speed
we could to the Bagnio in Long-acre, and my lord of Warwick got
into another chair behind; so we went to Long-acre; and when we
came to the door of the Bagnio and captain French came out of
the chair, he was so weak that he fell down upon his knees; and
when he came out, I asked who should pay me, and desired to be
discharged; and the earl of Warwick said, Damn ye, call for
your money to-morrow; so they both went in at the Bagnio door
together.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Pray, who called for the chair first, captain
French, or my lord of Warwick, in the fields?
APPLEGATE--I cannot tell; but when I brought up my chair, I
first saw my lord of Warwick, and he would have had me lifted
the chair over the rails, and I told him we could not get it
over again, and so went up to the upper end of the fields.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--If you first spoke with my lord of Warwick,
why did you not carry my lord of Warwick?
APPLEGATE--Indeed I cannot tell; but I suppose it was because
he did not come so soon out of the fields as captain French, or
did not come the same way.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Pray, do you remember anything that happened
just at their carrying capt. French away?
APPLEGATE--Before he went into the chair, he stopped and would
have pulled off his cloaths, but we would not let him.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Did you see any sword capt. French had?
APPLEGATE--I did see no sword that I can say directly was a
sword; but capt. French had something in his hand, but what it
was I cannot tell.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--What was it that he said to you, when he
first went into the chair?
APPLEGATE--He desired to be carried to the Bagnio; for he said
he believed he was a dead man.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Pray friend, recollect yourself, if you heard
him say any thing at all when he first went into the chair at
the Greyhound tavern?
APPLEGATE--I did not hear him mention any thing at all.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Pray what did you hear my lord of Warwick say
at that time?
