; By W. W. Ravenhill, Esq. 175 
indictment; and wee hope to make an end tomorrow about noone, and the next 
day (Saturday April 14th,) to beginne our journey towards Exceter, and to lodge 
at Dorchester on the sabbath day.” * 
All the others included in the indictment with Deane and Kensey 
who did not appear and surrender, were to be outlawed, that their 
property might be seized, as their persons could not; except Sir 
John Moore, the bill against whom was ignored; and St. Loe, who 
-was staying with his friend, Captain Horsington,! at Sarum, and 
never brought to trial as he had turned “ Protector’s evidence.” 
On the Friday Morning (April 13th,) the Grand Jury found true 
bills for high treason against Henry and Edward Zouch; John 
Thorpe; Henry Lawrence; John Fryer; William Willoughby; and 
Edmond Mackes, who were in custody; and Thomas Chivers; 
John Seymour; Richard Greene; and John Cotterell, who were at 
large.” The trials of those present were at once proceeded with. 
The Zouches and Willoughby were acquitted. With regard to one 
of the two former, Mr. Attorney was not well pleased at the in- 
dependence of the jury. 
He says 
*¢T cannot acquit that jury for acquitinge Henry Zouche, having clear evidence 
against him, and being a bold confident young fellow, and likely to engage in 
such actions and highway robbing. I reserved Lavington and Heywood out 
_ of your list, for this fellow and some others, who testified fully and positively 
against him, and soe did Westfield, whom you sent from London, and in my 
_ chamber, Collier that you sent downe, and one Tarrant, that Major Boteler 
produced, affirmed the same; but the two last minced their evidence at the 
_ barr, saying, they were much mistaken if they saw him not. This brought a 
jealousie upon the rest; but if those had not been produced, the others without 
_ them would haye convicted them; but labouring it seems too much in it, and 
endeavouring to make it very clear, because upon their examination they 
_ denied them to be in the companie of the rebells, and declared in what other 
particular place they were, though they offered not one tittle of proof to any 
_ one place, yet the jury some of them being neighbours untohim, acquitted them ; 
in all other things they did well. I shall not put his highness to much charge 
about witnesses; all those that are suspected to be in the rising, I make to 
beare their own charges. I have bound divers to appeare at Exeter that knowe 
_ the prisoners there.”’ +
