Browne—No, Sir, he was not there; one of them, I tell you, had officers' cloaths on, red lined with blue, and the other had gold lace on; there was nobody there that held him up but them two.
Marquis of Normanby—He says he saw two persons holding up Mr. Coote; it would be very well to have that matter very well settled, who those two persons were; I desire to know how he is sure my lord of Warwick was not one of them two?
Browne—I know my lord of Warwick very well, and I am sure he was neither of the two.
Duke of Leeds—I would know what light he had to discern it so well by, that he can be sure my lord of Warwick was not there; for he says it was a very dark night, and yet he describes the particular persons that held Mr. Coote up.
Browne—Yes, my lord, I am sure my lord of Warwick was none of them.
Duke of Leeds—How could you distinguish in so dark a night, the colours of people's cloaths?
Browne—With the candle that I had lighted in my lanthorn.
Duke of Leeds—He could not know any of the persons unless he held a lanthorn to their faces, or knew them very well before.
Lord High Steward—My lord Warwick, will your lordship ask this witness any questions?
Earl of Warwick—My lord, I desire he may be asked, Whether I did not bid him stop at St. Martin's-lane end, and do all that I could to hinder Mr. Coote from going any further, but to go home?
