d the next day.
_Millington_ was at Mr. Tryon's house on Saturday evening, and finding
Turner in custody, there was asked by him to intercede, in order that he
might have his liberty to go about the jewels. Afterwards Turner, at his
own house, sent his wife to Whitechapel or Tower-hill, where she would
meet a man who would give her something. The wife brought the jewels to
the Hoop Tavern, and from there they were taken to Mr. Tryon's, where
they were examined, and none were found missing except a carcanet jewel.
_Mannock_ had been told by Turner in Newgate that he was to have L500
for recovering the jewels and the money; he had recovered L500 and most
of the jewels; if Sir Thomas had not secured him, he would now have them
all; 'but Newgate was not the place to find them out.'
_Sir T. Chamberlain_ was sworn and said, that hearing on Friday morning
that Mr. Tryon had been robbed, he went to his house about three in the
afternoon.
I found a great many people about him; sir T. Aleyn, lady
Garret, and the countess of Carlisle was there. I told him, Mr.
Tryon, I understand you have been robbed. Yes, says he, I have a
great loss. I found him very staggering what he should do. I

will quite lose all. With that I went up above in the house, sir
T. Aleyn was pleased to call me along with him, I was by at all
the examinations; I did mistrust, and told Mr. Tryon in French,
that no doubt but that gentleman was in the robbery: the reason
was, that he being a frequent man in the house, knew everything:
he was there continually, coming for jewels and things, and no
man could do it but himself: that was my judgment, I told sir T.
Aleyn assuredly he had a hand in it. My lord, the while we were
examining the servants, word was brought in, that he was
hearkening at the door, and in the yards, which made me more and
more mistrust him. We heard that the maid had been gadding
abroad several times: I desired sir T. Aleyn to examine the maid
how often she had supped at Turner's, she denied any time. The
young man was examined, who said, they had been thirty or forty
times feasted at col. Turner's. My lord, sir T. Aleyn has given
you a just account, but he omitted one thing; he had a note sent
him, which he had in his poc
