316 Murder of Henry Long, Esq. 
from Cawshot Castle, as before set down, on Monday 14th Oct. 
about 8 o’clock at night, one Mr. Robinson, gentleman of the Earl of 
Southampton’s horses, came unto Thomas Dredge at the said Earl’s 
stables at Tichfield, and commanded him and others to saddle seven 
horses that were then in the said stable; which being done, and 
leaving the said horses so saddled when he went to bed in his house 
at Tichfield, the said horses were carried away that night about 
12 o’clock by one Mr. Brumfield, one of the said Earl’s servants, as 
it was reported by one Robert a groom of the said Earl’s stable ; 
which said Brumfield brought back four of the said seven horses 
unto Tichfield stable again on Thursday morning the 17th Oct. 
following, about the break of day, which horses the said Mr. Robinson 
commanded Dredge to give them as many oats as they would eat, 
for that they were to go then presently towards London with the 
said Earl of Southampton his master.
