Thomas the time the robbery was committed? I shall ask him some questions. SIR T. ALEYN--I have only one more word to say to you: That before he went to the Hoop-tavern, Nay, said I, col. Turner, be ingenuous whether this was not Mr. Tryon's money that he removed? And he confessed it was. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE HYDE--The money was removed from his own house. SIR T. ALEYN--Yes; but his wife, children, and maid denied it. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE HYDE--Mr. Turner, will you ask him any questions? What are they? TURNER--I would ask all this back again: You are upon your oath, Mr. Alderman. LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE HYDE--You need not tell him that he is sworn; the court and jury understand it so.

Said I, If this money be taken away, he that hath the jewels will not bring them, and the remainder of the money; but that this money must bring him to it, that they might share it. SIR T. ALEYN--There was not one word of this: his Examination was contrary. He told me L400 was received of a goldsmith, he knew not his name, and L200 was in his own house; and that he removed it for two or three days, till this foolery was over.
