and took the money from Gardener at Yorke House, went in to my lord, and, 

 as she said, delivered it to my lord ; and had after presently the decree.

For the particular : Churchill, that, before October was twelvemonth, an 

 order for dismission on both parts: the day after, Churchill, Lady W barton 

 took him in her coach, carried him to Yorke House : there she spake with my 

 lord. Thereupon Churchill ordered to stay the dismission of Lady Wharton, 

 but to suffer the other to stand. A decree upon this. 



Keeling, examined, confessetb that, near about passing this decree, took 

 1001. made Keeling write down the words she should use to my lord, at her 

 presenting it. 100/. delivered in a purse, of her own working. This decree 

 made de bene esse. Made in October ; but stayed till about June after, even 

 till she paid my Lord Chancellor 200/. more. That Shute persuaded Lady 

 Wharton to confer the land upon my Lord Chancellor : that she would not 

 yield, till had spoken with Keeling. Shute persuaded Keeling ; who would 

 not yield without a power of revocation. That, upon this, the composition of 

 300/. followed. 



Keeling let fall words, that he had left Yorke House, upon the general cor 

 ruption he found there, and the altering of divers agreements had been there 

 made. 



Keeling saith, be soliciting a cause between Sir John Trevor and Askew ; 

 where six injunctions, &c. and, for a final end, Sir John Trevor gave my lord 

 100/. by Sir Richard Yonge s hands. Five pieces for a day of hearing last 

 Michaelmas term : Clayton a monopoly of this. 40.s. for an hearing ; 3/. and 

 41. for an injunction. 



That this petition hath brought forth a copy of another petition. 



Sir Richard Yong : That, in Christmas holidays, a man of Sir John Tre 

 vor s brought him a letter to my lord, and a cabinet ; which he delivered my 

 lord openly, and delivered it to my lord. 



Sir Edward Coke : Strange to him, that this money should be thus openly 

 delivered ; and that one Gardyner should be present at the payment of the 

 200*. 



Sir Robert Philips, after these things, set down by Churchill and Keeling, 

 shall be presented, and heard in this house, Sir Robert Philips shall, at the 

 lords next sitting, deliver these things to the lords. 



Sir Robert Philips to deliver to the lords, this afternoon, three letters from 

 Landaphe to Edward Egerton ; three copies of letters from Awbrey to the Lord 

 Chancellor ; a copy of the recognizance of 10,000/. and of a defeazance ; and 

 divers orders, and one under seal, De executions or din is ; to be presented to the 

 lords ; and all other writings, Sir Robert Philips hath. 



A paper of direction delivered in from Churchill : which read. 



Which sent to the lords by Sir Robert Philips ; but they were risen before, 

 and so the messenger returned. 



Mr. Mewtys : Keeling a common solicitor, Churchill a guilty register. Fear 

 of punishment, and hope to escape, may make them speak untruly. 



That a servant to my lord ; an eye and ear-witness, for four years. That, in 

 this time, my lord hath sown much good seed of justice ; and that only the en 

 vious man hath sown the tares. Moveth, whether this general accusation fit to 

 be sent up to my lords, without particular application. 



Sir Robert Philips : That this fit for the lords now.
