Answr. I took it from Phillis that same Afternoon.
Quest. Did any body see you take it from her?
Answr. No. When I took it from Phillis she own'd that Phœbe had given the first Poison that I brought to master; and that she and Phœbe had given him all the Rest saving what was then in the Bottle. and thereupon I went to Phœbe and charged her with it, she at first deny'd it, but at last own'd it it and begg'd me to say nothing about it; I told her if I had known she wou'd have put it to that use I would not have got it for her; then I call'd Pompey to go down to the shop with me for I wanted to speak with him, intending to shew him the Vial, and he came into the shop but before I had an opportunity to speak to him Mr. Kettell took me.
Quest. Where was the Vial when you talked with Phœbe as aforesd?
Answr. I had it in my Pocket, and told her so, then I went into the shop and buried it, then I went into the House immediately to call Pompey to shew it to him.
Quest. Why did you bury the Vial before you called Pompy? or shew it to any body?
Answr: I buried it because I did not want any body should see it before I shewed it to him.
Questn. Have you lately had any Potters powder'd Lead by you or in your Possession?
Answr. Only that I had from Essex Powars; which was as I suppose ground to Powder.
Quest. When did you get that powder'd Lead of Essex?
