CCclxvi LIFE OF BACON. 



&quot; 20. To the twentieth article of the charge, viz. he took 

 of Peacock an hundred pounds, and borrowed a thousand 

 pounds, without interest, security, or time of payment : I 

 confess and declare, that I received of Mr. Peacock an 

 hundred pounds at Dorset House, at my first coming to 

 the seal, as a present ; at which time no suit was begun ; 

 and that, the summer after, I sent my then servant Lister 

 to Mr. Rolf, my good friend and neighbour, at St. Albans, 

 to use his means with Mr. Peacock (who was accounted a 

 monied man), for the borrowing of five hundred pounds ; 

 and after, by my servant Hatcher, for borrowing of five 

 hundred pounds more, which Mr. Rolf procured, and told 

 me, at both times, that it should be without interest, 

 script, or note; and that I should take my own time for 

 payment of it. 



Smithwick &quot;21. To the one and twentieth article of the charge, 

 vl7 &quot; m ^ ie cause between Smithwick and Wyche, he 

 received from Smithwick two hundred pounds, which was 

 repaid : I confess and declare, that my servant Hunt did, 

 upon his accompt, being my receiver of the fines of 

 original writs, charge himself with two hundred pounds, 

 formerly received of Smithwick, which after that I had 

 understood the nature of it, I ordered him to repay it, and 

 to defaulk it of his accompt. 



Russwell. &quot; 22. To the two and twentieth article of the charge, 

 viz. in the cause of Sir Henry Russwell, he received money 

 from Russwell ; but it is not certain how much : I confess 

 and declare, that I received money from my servant Hunt, 

 as from Mr. Russwell, in a purse ; and, whereas the sum 

 in the article is indefinite, I confess it to be three or four 

 hundred pounds ; and it was about some months after the 

 cause was decreed, in which decree I was assisted by two 

 of the judges. 



Barker. &quot; 23. To the three and twentieth article of the charge,
