children; they desired to secure the money'
(which Mrs. Turner brought) 'till they had taken their oaths the money
was not in their house.' She said her husband and her son Ely were
coming with it. The witness allowed her to put wallets containing money,
she did not know how much, into her chest. Mrs. Turner said her husband
was coming with more, and when he came he offered her twenty shillings
for her kindness; they both asked her to conceal the money because the
discovery of it would ruin the poor gentleman and his children. She did
not see the bags sealed; there were three wallets, one was put into a
chest in the shop, and two in the kitchen. There was a discourse of
L1100. There were five wallets brought into the house; three in the
shop, and two in the kitchen.

SIR T. ALEYN--You hear what the wench says, she says there was
five wallets, three in the shop, two in the kitchen; I took two
in the shop, and only one in the kitchen.

TURNER--Pray, my lord, ask her which is Ely.

FRY--That is [pointing to Ely].

TURNER--It was false; this Ely carried none; both my sons are
dear to me, and if either carried more than the other it must be
my eldest; and yet I must say, it was John, my eldest son that
carried the money, this boy was at home; she hath foresworn
herself.

_Gurnet_ met Turner on the Exchange the Saturday after the robbery;
Turner told him that he was going to make a discovery and clear himself;
he had brought L500 and was going to bring the rest of the money and
jewels at three o'clock.

_Major Ralph Tasker_ corroborated Sir T. Aleyn's account of seizing the
money in the Minories:

then I saw a fellow play bo-peep in a back-room, and presently
was a noise, he was gone and fled; his son they said it was.
Sir T. Aleyn pressed very hard to Mr. Turner, and desired to
know whose money that was. Says Turner, By the eternal God, it
is my own money, with many other protestations of his innocence.
A constable was sent for, and we carried the money and Turner in
a hackney coach to Mr. Tryon, and there left the money on a
table with Mr. Tryon. They had some discourse; Turner came forth
and said, The old gentleman and I are agreed, I will trust the
money no longer with you, but with the old gentleman himself.
Said I, let me be discharged of it, do what you will with it.

BRIDGMAN--Did you see the bags out of the wallet?
