though I were not ready to pay Compton his money, as I would have been glad 

 to have done, save only one hundred pounds, which is paid ; I could not deny 

 justice to Huxley, in as ample manner as if nothing had been between Compton 

 and me. But, if Compton hath been damnified in my respect, I am to consider 

 it to Compton. 



&quot; 16. To the sixteenth article of the charge, viz. in the cause between Sir 

 William Bruncker and Awbrey, the Lord Chancellor received from Awbrey an 

 hundred pounds : I do confess and declare, that the money was given and 

 received ; but the manner of it I leave to the witnesses. 



&quot;17. To the seventeenth article of the charge, viz. in the Lord Mountague s 

 cause, he received from the Lord Mountague six or seven hundred pounds ; 

 and more was to be paid at the ending of the cause : I confess and declare, 

 there was money given, and (as I remember) by Mr. Bevis Thelwall, to the 

 sum mentioned in the article after the cause was decreed ; but I cannot say it 

 was ended, for there have been many orders since, caused by Sir Frauncis 

 Englefeild s contempts ; and I do remember that, when Thelwall brought the 

 money, he said, that my lord would be further thankful if he could once get his 

 quiet ; to which speech I gave little regard. 



&quot; 18. To the eighteenth article of the charge, viz. in the cause of Mr. Dunch, 

 he received of Mr. Dunch two hundred pounds : I confess and declare, that it 

 was delivered by Mr. Thelwall to Hatcher my servant, for me, as I think, some 

 time after the decree ; but I cannot precisely inform myself of the time. 



&quot; 19. To the nineteenth article of the charge, viz. in the cause between 

 Reynell and Peacock, he received from Reynell two hundred pounds, and a 

 diamond ring worth five or six hundred pounds : I confess and declare, that, at 

 my first coming to the seal, when I was at Whitehall, my servant Hunt delivered 

 me two hundred pounds, from Sir George Reyuell, my near ally, to be 

 bestowed upon furniture of my house ; adding further, that he received divers 

 former favours from me ; and this was, as I verily think, before any suit begun. 

 The ring was received certainly pendente lite ; and, though it were at New 

 year s-tide, yet it was too great a value for a New year s gift, though, as I take 

 it, nothing near the value mentioned in the article. 



&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, 1 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. 



&quot;21. To the one. and twentieth article of the charge, viz. in the cause be 

 tween Smithwick and Wyche, he received from Smithwicke 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 accornpt. 



&quot; 22. To the two and twentieth article of the charge, viz. in the cause of Sir 

 Henry Ruswell, he received money from Ruswell ; but it is not certain how 

 much : I confess and declare, that I received money from my servant Hunt, as 

 from Mr. Ruswell, 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. 



&quot; 23. To the three and twentieth article of the charge ; viz. in the cause of 

 Mr. Barker, the Lord Chancellor received from Barker seven hundred pounds :
