TURNER--I said, I would endeavour it.

SIR T. ALEYN--If he had said he would have endeavoured it, I
would not have parted with him; but he said he should have the
money and jewels, etc.; I told him I would meet him at that time
at Mr. Tryon's. Then I took Mr. Tryon, and said Whatever promise
you have made in private, you must excuse my assenting to
anything against the law: But do not tell him of it, lest you
lose the jewels: I must commit him to Newgate, and I must bind
you to prosecute him. He desired me if I would not come so early
as 3, not till 4 or 5 of the clock, and all would be brought
thither. I staid till about 4. In the interim, I heard some
particulars, what these maids would testify; which testimony had
I received before I had parted with him, I would not have parted
with him for any consideration. But when I came thither in the
afternoon, I heard col. Turner was arrested, and was then at the
Hoop-tavern with the officers. I sent immediately the Marshal
and his men to bring him to me. The officers and he came; and
then col. Turner told me, I had brought all these things, but
the officers prevented me; I was a very unfortunate man: Give
me leave but till to-morrow morning at 9, and you shall have
all. Said I, I have now heard more; and you must produce the
money and jewels if you expect any favour from me, or I know
what to do. He pressed very hard for an hour, or almost two,
that he might be trusted to go for them; if he did not go Mr.
Tryon would lose the rest of his money and jewels. I told him I
had rather they should be all lost, than I should forfeit my
discretion and reputation. And thus he kept us till 7 or 8 at
night. At last he would have gone with one person. I told him,
no: If there were enough to secure you, I might give leave.
Saith he, the party will not see more than one; for his life
would be in danger. Whither would you go? I would go, saith he
(to my best remembrance) to Tower-Hill or Whitechapel. I should
have met him at 5; and now I must meet him about 9. I will call
in the officers: They will tell you, your being upon a Judgment,
they will not part with you without the Liberties: Nor will I
give leave, because the Sheriffs will blame me. The officers
said they could not go without the Liberties, for it would be an
escape in law. Pr
