ATTORNEY-GENERAL--What became of the rest of the company?
WITNESS--They went away; I do not know what became of them, nor whither they went; some of them went in and out of one room into another several times, two or three times, and came out again.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--My lord, we have done with the witness.
LORD HIGH STEWARD--My lord Warwick, will you ask him any questions?
_Mr. Salmon_, the surgeon who, by the coroner's orders, examined Coote's wounds, was called. There were two wounds: one on the left breast, near the collar-bone, running down four or five inches. He could not guess what sort of a sword made it; the wound was about half an inch broad. There was another wound under the last rib on the left side, an inch broad, six inches deep. They were both mortal. In answer to Lord Warwick, he said that neither could be given by a sword run up to the hilt. He could not say that they must have been given by the same weapon: but they might have been.
_Stephen Turner_, Coote's servant, identified his master's sword; he believed he fenced with his right hand, but had never seen him fence at all.
EARL OF WARWICK--I desire he may be asked, whether he has not observed a particular kindness and friendship between his master and me?
TURNER--Yes, my lord; I have several times waited upon my master, when my lord and he was together, and they were always very civil and kind one to another; and I never heard one word of any unkindness between them.
EARL OF WARWICK--Whether he knows of any quarrel that was between us?
EARL OF WARWICK--Whether he did not use to lie at my lodgings sometimes?
LORD HIGH STEWARD--You hear my lord's question: what say you? Did your master use to lie at my lord of Warwick's lodgings at any time?
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Pray call Pomfret again, and let him see the sword.
[Then he came in, and two swords were shewn him.]
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--I desire he may acquaint your lordships what he knows of those two swords.
POMFRET--These two swords were brought in by some of the company that came to my master's house; and when they were shewn to captain French in the morning he owned this to be his, and the other to be Mr. Coote's; and he desired that notice might be taken, that his sword was dirty but not bloody; and there was some blood upon the other.
