Mrs. Gethins said that Goodere had asked her for a garret to keep his brother in, for he was a madman; he made no secret of it. She had heard nothing about Mahony having five pounds a month to take care of him. She had heard Goodere talk with his own doctor about his brother.
Mr. Marsh, sworn.
Goodere—Did you go ashore in the morning about the king's business, or what business did you go about?
Marsh—I had an order about eight o'clock the night sir John was brought on board, to go up in the morning to Bristol for the letters from the Admiralty, and about four of the clock in the morning I was called up to go: but the lieutenant seemed much disordered, and bid me come to him before I set out. I waited on the lieutenant, and told him, that White and Mahony said they had liberty to go on shore, that the captain had given them liberty to go; the lieutenant said, he knew nothing of it. But as it is always my way, before I carry anybody off, I said, I would go to the captain and ask leave. I went to the captain, and asked him, if White and Mahony had liberty from him to go on shore? And he said, Yes, let them go.
Goodere—Mr. Marsh, did you go upon the king's business, or on purpose to take up these men?
Marsh—I went about the king's business.
Vernon—But it was after sir John was brought on board, that Mr. Goodere ordered you to go up?
Marsh—Yes, Sir, it was.
Vernon—Did anybody else go up with you, besides Mahony and White?
Marsh—No, there did not.
