him in, but he denied
it; but not as a person of his spirit, which gave me some cause
of further suspicion. I desired to search his house; nay told
him I would, whether he would or no. He desired to go home; I
told him, if he would go with them (some persons there) he
should: but you shall not speak with your sons or daughters, or
servants; they shall be examined by me. They searched his house,
the marshal and constable, they said they could find nothing.
The old gentleman was very unwilling to charge him with felony;
some friends there were as well satisfied as I was, that he was
guilty of it; and they brought me a paper that he would charge
him: and thereupon I wished him to read that paper, told him I

the person who robbed Tryon; accordingly, taking Major Tasker, whom he
met in Bishopsgate, with him, he went without Aldgate, where

I met with two maids that were the persons to shew me the place:
the maid told me these were the maids. I bid them come behind
me. At the further end of all the Minories I went into the shop,
and found col. Turner with his hands in a chest: I charged him
to take nothing out, and not to stir himself. There were two
wallets, one of L100 and the other L200. I took the keys from
him, laid them upon the compter: I went with him into the next
room, which was the kitchen, and in another chest was two
wallets more: and now the gentleman
