Murder of Henry Long, Esq. 313 
from Cawshot castle the said Tuesday, Thomas Dymmocke passed 
to Hampton in one Mossell’s boat of Ware’s ash, and there talked 
with Captain Perkinson and desired of him that the two Danverses, 
Sir Charles and Sir Henry, might come unto Cawshot Castle 
to rest them there two or three days, and that their intent was 
to go from thence into Brittany for service, which the said 
Perkinson said they should do so, and sent word presently to his 
deputy by Roger Fynche, his servant; and then the said Dymmocke 
returned back that evening unto the said Reede’s boat, then riding 
at an anchor; and the said Wednesday, 9th October, in the evening, 
they all put on shore at Cawshot castle. Afore whose arrival there, 
about 2 o’clock in the afternoon of the said Wednesday, one John 
Dalamor the water-serjeant of Hamble, had been at the said castle 
with hue and cry to apprehend the suspected persons for the murder,

chamber as prisoners, and caused the castle to be guarded and kept 
with such soldiers as were then in the castle, being in number but 
four persons besides help of the country, as Hancocke, Locke, and 
others, and certain fishermen which the said Kitche had commanded 
in for this service, as Thomas Moorley, John Wilkins, and others. 
Until Nicholas Caplyn the deputy of the said castle came to his 
charge that night, who immediately understanding by the said 
Kitche what had been done, and likewise by the said Hancocke, 
Locke, and the rest, who told the said deputy that ‘‘ they thought 
them to be the persons suspected for the murder, for whom the 
hue and cry came unto them,” then the said deputy partly confessed 
that “they were the men, but the captain’s friends,” and desired them 
to depart, giving his word and promise to the said Hancocke, Locke, 
and the rest, that they should be forthcoming and safe. Also the 
said Wednesday being the 9th October last, Mr. Francis Robinson, 
gentleman of the Earl of Southampton’s horses, willed Thomas Dredge 
an attendant in the said Earl’s stables at Tichfield, to go unto one
