THis Informant saith, that on Tues­day morning the ninth of this in­stant August before Sun-rise, about fourscore Troops armed with Car­bines and Pistolls came to Killesbie, with a Truth [...]t before them, and beset the house of John H [...]llo [...]s the elder, but cannot tell what they said to them in the house, being far distant from them; At which time and place this Informant upon hearing the Trumpet, came and found one Thomas VVinks there shott dead in the breast: And this Informant enquiring of one Oba­diah Marriott who was present, and how it came to passe, he said that he heard the said VVinks say he was for the King and Parliament, and thereupon he was shot.

And the said Marriot saying they had slain a faithfull Subject of the Kings, one of the said Troo­pers strook him three or four times with a sword, and thereupon he fled: And this Informant saith that he was also shot at, and also Moses Howlat who said only he was for the King, and Thomas Clark and Zephaniah Crick, and divers others were shot at and wounded thereby, and John VVhite was there dange­rously wounded by one of the Troopers with a pitch-fork which was taken from one of the neigh­bours, and one Henry Barfoot was also kill'd, but this Informant was not present when he was slain.

WHo saith that he did see Thomas VVinkles and Henry Barfoot lye dead in Killesby, who was slain by the said Troopers, and only heard the said Troo­pers say, Rank, Rank, but durst not depart o [...]t of his house, but he hid two peeces and a musket which he had there.

WHo saith, That he did see about 80 Troopers come into Killesby, before the Sun rise this present day, and one of the said Troopers held a hors­mans Pistoll against this Informant, and one of his fellows said to him, Shoot it off without further words; whereupon this Informant desired them to hold their hands, and fled from them; and going down the Town, three Troopers more met this In­formant, and charged him to stand, and drew their swords, and charged him to tell them where any Arms were; and this Informant telling them he could not tell: Two or three of them struck at this Informant with their swords, and immediately two or three more came to them, and said, What do you do with that Rogue; Come, come▪ we will fire the Town▪ And this Informant le [...]ped over a hedge▪ and escaped from them.

THis Informant saith, that he being present at the information of the said George VVatson, know­eth the same in all particulars to be true, and further saith, that he was told by Master Bowkly and John Welch, that they were taken by the said Troopers, and four swords and Bandiliers and a Rest was taken from them by the said Troopers: But this Infor­mant and four or five others with him conceiving themselves to be weake for them, did hide their guns and fled for their safety, and afterwards the Troo­pers enquired where the Rogues were that had the the Arms: And thereupon this Informant and the rest with-drue themselves, and durst not further ap­pear against them: And this Informant saith, that VVilliam Bowkly told him, that the said Troopers cock'd Pistolls at his breast, and drew their swords and swore they would kill him, if he did not tell them where the Arms of the Town were.
