and Mannering there weie 100 pieces given, of which Hunt had 20/. 3. 

 Hoddy gave a jewel, which was thought to be worth 500/. but he himself said 

 it was a trifle of 100/. or 200/. price ; it was presented to my Lord Chancellor 

 by Sir Thomas Peryn and Sir Henry Holmes. 4. In the cause between Pea 

 cock and Reynell, there was much money given on both sides. 5. In the case 

 of Barker and Bill ; Barker said he was 800/. in gifts since his suit began. 6. 

 In the case between Smithwick and Walsh ; Smithwick gave 3001. yet my lord 

 decreed it against him, so he had his money again by piecemeal. In this and 

 Other cases my lord would decree part ; and when lie wanted more money, he 

 would send for more money, and decree another part. la most causes my 

 lord s servants have undertaken one side or another, insomuch as it was usual 

 for counsel, when their clients came unto them, to ask what friend they had at 

 York House. 



Mr. Meawtys. Touching the persons that inform, I would entreat this ho 

 nourable house to consider, that Keeling is a common solicitor, (to say no more 

 of him ;) Churchill a guilty register by his own confession. I know that fear 

 of punishment, and hopes of lessening it, may make them to say much, yea, 

 more than is truth. For my own part, I must say, I have been an observer of 

 my lord s proceedings ; I know he hath sown a good seed of justice, and I hope 

 that it will prove, that the envious man hath sown these tares. I humbly 

 desire that those generals may not be sent up to the lords, unless these men will 

 testify them in particular. 



Ordered, 



That a message be sent to the lords by Sir Robert Philips to relate the case 

 of the Lady Wharton, and the informations of Churchill. 



Sir Robert Philips reports from the lords, that they acknowledged the great 

 care of this house in these important businesses ; thanks for the correspondence 

 of this house with them, assure the like from them for ever to this house. In 

 these and all other things will advise, and return answer as soon as possible. 

 Then adjourned. 



[From the Journals.] 



March 21 ; 18th James. Hull and Holman. Sir R. Philips. Another 

 case ; Hull and Holman. Holman, refusing to answer, committed ; there lay 

 twenty weeks : after required to answer, and to give bond of 20,000/. to stand 

 to my Lord Chancellor s order in it. That one Manby, about the Exchange, 

 dealt in this business with Mr. Mewtys. That Holman, finding his order vary, 

 resolved to complain to this house. That, upon Friday last, my lord sent for 

 Hull and Holman ; offered to make an indifferent end between them : and that 

 Holman told Keeling, he was an happy man now, he could have any thing from 

 my Lord Chancellor. 



March 21 ; 18th James. Sinythwicke. The other case, between Smyth- 



wicke and Smythwicke was told, he must use some good way : came 



to Mr. Yong ; promised my lord 200/. so as the certificate might be decreed : 

 dealt after with Burrowes : he undertook to move my lord. He heard the 

 cause: part of the award decreed. The 200/. paid. That, unless my lord 

 might have 100/. more, no further proceeding. That Smythwicke brought Bur 

 rowes 70/. part of the 1001. The cause yet deferred. Brought the other 30/. 

 to Hunt, who, Burrowes said, had most part of the money. The former part of 

 the decree now again questioned, Smythwicke demanded his money. 



Hunt. That he had disbursed it for my lord, and given my lord accounts 

 for it. Hunt advised Smythwicke to petition my lord, to have leave to sue 

 Hunt for this money. That Hunt promising the re-payment of the money. 



That he received, from Boroughe and Hunt, all his money again, but 20/. 

 which kept from him a year, and then repaid him by Hunt. 



Mercurii, 21st Martii ; 18th Jacobi. Lady Wharton. Sir Robert Philips. 

 That Gardyner s man affirmeth, that, three days before the hearing of the cause, 

 the Lady Wharton put 1001. in a purse, went to Yorke House, and, as she said
