Sir Thomas Witherley, second Physician to the King, deposeth,

THat on Sunday the 10th of June, the Deponent was present in the Queens Bed-chamber, when the Prince of Wales was born; the Deponent saw Mrs. Labadie bring the Child from the Midwife, and carry him into the next Room, whither the Deponent followed her, and saw the Child before he was cleaned; and having a Com∣mand from the Queen, that there should be Two Drops of the Blood of the After-burthen given the first thing; we the said Deponent and the other Physicians did take Two Drops of Blood from the Navel-string which re∣mained upon the Child, and gave it in a Spoonful of Black-cherry-water, as the Queen commanded. After this the Deponent saw (as also did the other Physicians) the After-burthen entire.

Tho. Witherley.
