ay give me leave to go near those places, and I
will send. Nay, then you may as well send from hence. He begged
leave to go to the Hoop-tavern, and send for his wife; which I
did grant. And there he did send for his wife. They brought me
word he had sent his wife for the jewels and the rest of the
monies. He sent to me not to think the time too long, for he had
notice his wife was coming. I directed the Marshal, when his
wife came, he would secure her. About 11 they brought his wife;
who told me also she had delivered the jewels: they thought they
were in two bags. Then he came to me, and desired to speak with
Mr. Tryon in private, and told me Mr. Tryon's soul was pawned to
him, and his to the thief, that no discovery should be made. But
when I examined his wife what money went from her house that
morning, she said she knew of none. Where had you the jewels?
She knew of none: But she had a couple of bags that she was sent
for: Near Whitechapel or the Tower a person should meet her, and
ask what she did there, and she should say she walked up and
down for something that should be given her by a person; which,
if he did, she was to bring it to him that sent her. He did
deliver the two bags, which she delivered to her husband; but
what was in them she knew not. There was sir Thomas Chamberlane,
Mr. Millington, myself and col. Turner, with Mr. Tryon. The two
bags was laid upon a dresser. He told us they were now come; and
having performed his part, he hoped Mr. Tryon would perform his.
Have you performed your part? Have you brought the jewels and
the remainder of the money? He told us the money was not
brought: For the L600 I shall give Mr. Tryon my bond, to pay him
at six months. We pressed to see the jewels: We run them all
over. But I should have told you one thing: She brought a
cat's-head-eye-ring upon her finger. This the gentleman was like
to forget: He delivered it to me, to deliver that with the rest.
When we had told out the jewels we crossed them out upon the
printed paper as they were called. She said all that was in the
paper, except one carcanet of diamonds and jewels, valued at
L200 that is fallen behind the chest or aside. You have L2000
worth of jewels over what is in the paper; but the carcanet
shall be forthcoming. He now pressed that no prosecution might
be,
