CAPTAIN DUCKINFIELD--Yes, there was, between those two, and
the other persons on both sides; and it was said my lord of
Warwick was friend to Mr. Coote, and my lord Mohun.

CAPTAIN DUCKINFIELD--Mr. Dockwra and Mr. James.

capt. Coote, as they believed, and Mr. James with my lord of

not?

CAPTAIN DUCKINFIELD--About half an hour.

CAPTAIN DUCKINFIELD--We went away in a hackney coach together.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Pray, what discourse was there about
consulting to go into the country together?
CAPTAIN DUCKINFIELD--That might be discoursed, but by whom I
cannot tell.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Did my lord of Warwick talk of going into the
country?
CAPTAIN DUCKINFIELD--Whether the company talked of it, or my
lord of Warwick in particular, and the rest assented to it, I
cannot well tell.

CAPTAIN DUCKINFIELD--I cannot directly tell.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--What time of the day was it?
CAPTAIN DUCKINFIELD--It was about six of the clock.

as I can remember.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL--What discourse or concern did you observe
past between them, concerning capt. Coote?
CAPTAIN DUCKINFIELD--My lord of Warwick shewed a great deal of
concern for his friend Mr. Coote.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Had you any notice of Mr. Coote's death
amongst you?
CAPTAIN DUCKINFIELD--We had notice before we went away; but I
cannot tell whether it was before my lord of Warwick was gone.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Was it after the discourse of going into the
country, or before?
CAPTAIN DUCKINFIELD--Indeed, I cannot directly say when it
was.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Pray, what reason was there for their going
into the country before he was dead?
