That notwithstanding the Deponent's Petitions, the fore∣mentioned Witnesses were transported by the means of Sir John Davis; during the Informant's Imprisonment, arrived at Dublin from the North of Ireland, a certain Gentleman, by name John Curfy, who was a stranger altogether to the Informant, and being demanded the occasion of his coming to Town, said, he came to confirm the testimony of a cer∣tain Priest; for this he added, he could confirm what the said Priest had said, and relate much more of the like kind. The said person being brought under pretence of seeing the Deponent, was clapt up in Prison also, under the notion of several unknown Actions of Debt, and was threatned to be hang'd by my Lord Chief Justice Booth; and in that fright gave a Bill of his Hand for what was alledged to his charge, besides Ten pounds that he paid down, and made protesta∣tions, that he would deny that he had any thing to say on the Deponent's behalf; which done, he was dismissed.
