Nonconformist?

LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--Did my lady Lisle ask you that question?

DUNNE--Yes, my lord, I told her I did not.

LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--But that is not my question; what was that
business that he did not know?

DUNNE--It was the same thing; whether Mr. Hicks was a

LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--That cannot be all; there must be something

DUNNE--Yes, my lord, it is all; I know nothing more.

_Colonel Penruddock_, being called and sworn, deposed that Barter came
to his house on Monday morning and said he had been with Dunne upon a
journey to Lady Lisle's house to get entertainment for some people. They
were going to meet him on Tuesday between nine and eleven on Salisbury
Plain, and Colonel Penruddock could take them there. He sent a servant
to take them there, who missed them; and accordingly went with soldiers
to Lady Lisle's house the next day, searched it, found Hicks and Dunne
in the Malt House, the latter having 'covered himself up with some sort

LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE--Dunne, how came you to hide yourself in the

chamber where I lay, and cam
