Turner—Pr'ythee Mall, sit down; you see my lord, my wife will interrupt me with nonsense. Pr'ythee sit thee down quickly, and do not put me out; I cannot hold women's tongues, nor your lordship neither.
Bridgman, Lord Chief-Justice—This is not a May-game.
Turner—My Lord, it is a serious business, and I hope God will bless it. 'Pray,' said I, 'Mall go.'
His wife went as she was told.
She found this Nag's Head, she sat down, being somewhat fat and weary, poor dear! I have had 27 children by her, 15 sons and 12 daughters. Seven or eight times did this fellow round her——
Mrs. Turner—Let me give that relation——
Turner—You cannot, it is as well; pr'ythee sit down, dear Mall, sit thee down good child, all will be well.
Mrs. Turner, in short, brought back the jewels which were given to Tryon, in Chamberlin's presence, and Turner offered to forego his £500, but was nevertheless committed by Sir T. Aleyn.
Bridgman, Lord Chief-Justice—Have you any witnesses to prove all this discourse passed between you and Wild?
Turner—I have by, witnesses to prove I said this, that there was such discourses between us.
