He spoke this the Day after myL29.3Memo8'03; E734| turning him out of the Garden.Hosier says he is ready to giveL29.3Memo8'03; E734| Evidence of this, if necessary.--L29.4Memo8'03; E734| The Soldier's Comrade swore before the Magistrates, while IL29.4Memo8'03; E734| was present, that he heard me utter seditious words, at theL29.4Memo8'03; E734| Stable Door, and in particular, said, that he heard me D--n theL29.4Memo8'03; E734| K--g.Now I have all the Persons who were present at the StableL29.4Memo8'03; E734| Door to witness that no Word relating to Seditious Subjects wasL29.4Memo8'03; E734| uttered, either by one party or the other, and they are ready, onL29.4Memo8'03; E734| their Oaths, to say that I did not utter such Words.--L29.5Memo8'03; E734| Mrs.Haynes says very sensibly, that she never heard PeopleL29.5Memo8'03; E734| quarrel, but they always charged each other with the Offence, andL29.5Memo8'03; E734| repeated it to those around, therefore as the Soldier charged notL29.5Memo8'03; E734| me with Seditious Words at that Time, neither did his Comrade,L29.5Memo8'03; E734| the whole Charge must have been fabricated in the StableL29.5Memo8'03; E734| afterwards.--L29.6Memo8'03; E734| If we prove the Comrade perjured who swore that he heard meL29.6Memo8'03; E734| D--n the K--g, I believe the whole Charge falls to the Ground.L29.7Memo8'03; E734| Mr.Cosens, owner of the Mill at Felpham, was passing by inL29.7Memo8'03; E734| the Road, and saw me and the Soldier and William standing nearL29.7Memo8'03; E734| each other; he heard nothing, but says we certainly were notL29.7Memo8'03; E734| quarrelling.-- L29.8Memo8'03; E734| The whole Distance that William could be at any Time of theL29.8Memo8'03; E734| Conversation between me and the Soldier (supposing suchL29.8Memo8'03; E734| Conversation to have existed) is only 12 Yards, & W-- says thatL29.8Memo8'03; E734| he was backwards and forwards in the Garden.It was a still Day,L29.8Memo8'03; E734| there was no Wind stirring.L29.9Memo8'03; E735| William says on his Oath, that the first Words that he heardL29.9Memo8'03; E735| me speak to the Soldier were ordering him out of the Garden; theL29.9Memo8'03; E735| truth is, I did not speak to the Soldier till then, & my orderingL29.9Memo8'03; E735| him out of the Garden was occasioned by his [P 2] sayingL29.9Memo8'03; E735| something that I thought insulting.L29.10Memo8'03; E735| The Time that I & the Soldier were together in the Garden,L29.10Memo8'03; E735| was not sufficient for me to have uttered the Things that he alledged.L29.11Memo8'03; E735| The Soldier said to Mrs.Grinder, that it would be right toL29.11Memo8'03; E735| have my House searched, as I might have plans of the CountryL29.11Memo8'03; E735| which I intended to send to the Enemy; he called me a MilitaryL29.11Memo8'03; E735| Painter; I suppose mistaking the Words Miniature Painter, whichL29.11Memo8'03; E735| he might have heard me called.I think that this proves, hisL29.11Memo8'03; E735| having come into the Garden, with some bad Intention, or at leastL29.11Memo8'03; E735| with a prejudiced Mind.L29.12Memo8'03; E735| It is necessary to learn the Names of all that were presentL29.12Memo8'03; E735| at the Stable Door, that we may not have any Witnesses broughtL29.12Memo8'03; E735| against us, that were not there.L29.13Memo8'03; E735| All the Persons present at the Stable Door were, Mrs.L29.13Memo8'03; E735| Grinder and her Daughter, all the Time; Mrs.Haynes & herL29.13Memo8'03; E735| Daughter all the Time; Mr.Grinder, part of the Time;L29.13Memo8'03; E735| Mr.Hayley's Gardener part of the Time.--Mrs.Haynes was presentL29.13Memo8'03; E735| from my turning him out at my Gate, all the rest of theL29.13Memo8'03; E735| Time--What passed in the Garden, there is no Person but William &L29.13Memo8'03; E735| the Soldier, & myself can know.L29.14Memo8'03; E735| There was not any body in Grinder's Tap-room, but an OldL29.14Memo8'03; E735| Man, named Jones, who (Mrs.Grinder says) did not come out--He isL29.14Memo8'03; E735| the same Man who lately hurt his Hand, & wears it in a sling--L29.15Memo8'03; E735| The Soldier after he and his Comrade came together into theL29.15Memo8'03; E735| Tap-room, threatened to knock William's Eyes out (this was hisL29.15Memo8'03; E735| often repeated Threat to me and to my Wife) because W-- refusedL29.15Memo8'03; E735| to go with him to Chichester, and swear against me.William saidL29.15Memo8'03; E735| that he would not take a false Oath, for that he heard me sayL29.15Memo8'03; E735| nothing of the Kind (i.e.Sedition) Mr[s] Grinder then reprovedL29.15Memo803; E735| the Soldier for threatening William, and Mr.Grinder said, thatL29.15Memo8'03; E735| W-- should not go, because of those Threats, especially as he wasL29.15Memo8'03; E735| sure that no Seditious Words were Spoken.--L29
