Iames Murehead Chirurgion, aged 32 years, married, purged and sworn, Depones, that after the Deponent and Iames Craufurd Chirur∣gion had opened the Corps, about the Neck, and sewed it up again, and removed the foul Linen, and put on again the clean Linens, in do∣ing whereof they were obliged to shake the Body to and fro, and move the Head back and foreward: The Deponent desired that the Friends might life the Body, and put it in the Coffin, and that the Pannal ha∣ving come and lift up the Head, he did let it fall upon the Table sudden∣ly, and that it made a considerable noise at the falling, and that the Pannal retired back quickly rubbing his Hands on his Breast, and crying, O God! O God! and some such other Words, and that the Deponent being astonished thereat, looked to the Corps, and as the Pannal did take away his hand from it, did see it darting out Blood through the Linnen, from the left-fide of the Neck which the Pannal touched, and that the Deponent was amazed at the sight, partly through the Darting out of the Blood, and partly through the apprehension he had of the Murder. Depones, he faw no Body touch the left-side of the De∣funct's Head the time it bled, but the Pannal; Depones that as soon as the Deponent recovered out of his amazment, he cryed to his Boy to give the Pannal some Triacle-water, which he did; but Depones he did not see Philip the Pannal return again to the Body of his Father; De∣pones when the Deponent and the other Chirurgion were putting on the clean Linens, and stirring and moving the Head and Craig, he saw no Blood at all. And this is the Truth as he shal answer to God, Sic subscribitur.
