ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Pray, Sir, will you consider with yourself, and though you are not upon your oath, answer the questions truly, for you are obliged to speak the truth, though you are not sworn, whenever you come to give your testimony in a court of judicature; pray, acquaint my noble lords here, whether you did never hear my lord Warwick complain of capt. Coote? COLONEL BLISSET--No, I never did hear him complain of him. ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Did you never hear the least word of any quarrel between them? COLONEL BLISSET--No, indeed, I did never hear of any quarrel between them. ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Did you never hear of any unkindness at all? COLONEL BLISSET--No, indeed, my lord, not I: I never so much as heard of the least unkindness whatsoever. LORD HIGH STEWARD--Well then, my lord, who do you call next? EARL OF WARWICK--Now colonel Stanhope is here, I desire he may be asked the same question, whether he does not know the particular friendship that was between capt. Coote and me, and what instances he can give of it? LORD HIGH STEWARD--You are to consider, Sir, though you are not upon your oath you are in a great court, and under no less restriction to testify the truth, and nothing but the truth: You hear what my noble lord asks you. COLONEL STANHOPE--My lord, I have known my lord of Warwick and capt Coote for about a twelve-month, and I did perceive that they did always profess a great kindness for one another. EARL OF WARWICK--I desire to know of him, whether he observed any particular friendship between capt. Coote and me, much about the time of this business? COLONEL STANHOPE--About eight or ten days before this unhappy accident, I went to wait upon my lord of Warwick twice at his lodgings: Once I found capt. Coote there, one of them was in bed, and the other was dressing of himself; I thought they were very good friends that were so familiar, and I had good reason to think so, because of that familiarity: Both the times that I was there, when I found them together, was within eight days before the accident happened. EARL OF WARWICK--The next witness I shall call will be Mr. Disney. ATTORNEY-GENERAL--But before colonel Stanhope goes, I desire to ask him this question, whether he did never hear or know of any unkindness between my lord of Warwick and capt. Coote? COLONEL STANHOPE--No, indeed I did not; I always thought them to be very good friends. LORD HIGH STEWARD--Will your lordship go on to your next witness? EARL OF WARWICK--Yes, my lord, there he is, Mr. Disney; I desire he may be asked what he knows of any expressions of kindness and friendship between me and capt. Coote.
