spoke to serving the men who came on Tuesday with supper in the chamber where they lay, and to Mrs. Lisle's presence there. _Carpenter_ spoke to Dunne's first arrival, when he asked for entertainment for Hicks and another whom he did not know. After the Carpenters had finished it appeared that Dunne had given way. MR. RUMSEY--Now, my lord, Dunne says he will tell all, whether it makes for him or against him. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--Let him but tell the truth, and I shall be satisfied. DUNNE--Sure my lord, I never entertained these men a night in my house in my life; but this Hicks sent that man to me to go to my lady Lisle's, to know whether she would please to entertain him; and when I came my lady asked me whether he had been in the army or no? I told her I could not tell, I did not know that he was. She then asked me if he had nobody else with him? I told her I believed there was. This is the very truth of it, my lord.

So when we came to my lady Lisle's on the Tuesday night, somebody took the two horses, I cannot tell who if I were to die; the two went in; and after I had set up my horse, I went in along with Carpenter up into the chamber to my lady, and to this Hicks and Nelthorp; and when I came there, I heard my lady bid them welcome to her house; and Mr. Carpenter or the maid, I cannot tell which, brought in the supper, and set it on the table. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--And didst thou eat or drink with them in the room or not? DUNNE--My lord, I will tell everything that I know; I confess I did both eat and drink there in the room. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--I pity thee with all my soul and pray to God Almighty for thee, to forgive thee, and to the Blessed Jesus to mediate for thee; and I pray for thee with as much earnestness, as I would for my own soul; and I beg of thee once more, as thou regardest thy own eternal welfare, to tell all the truth. DUNNE--My lord, I did never know these men were in the army when I carried the message to my lady Lisle's, nor never did entertain them in my house in my life time, so much as one night. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--Prithee, I do not ask thee what thou didst not, but what thou didst? DUNNE--My lord, I will tell all I know. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--What discourse had you t
