APPLEGATE--Before he went into the chair, he stopped and would have pulled off his cloaths, but we would not let him.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Did you see any sword capt. French had?
APPLEGATE--I did see no sword that I can say directly was a sword; but capt. French had something in his hand, but what it was I cannot tell.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--What was it that he said to you, when he first went into the chair?
APPLEGATE--He desired to be carried to the Bagnio; for he said he believed he was a dead man.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Pray friend, recollect yourself, if you heard him say any thing at all when he first went into the chair at the Greyhound tavern?
APPLEGATE--I did not hear him mention any thing at all.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Pray what did you hear my lord of Warwick say at that time?
APPLEGATE--Truly, I cannot say I heard him mention any thing at all neither; but I did hear my lord Mohun say, when he could not prevail, in St. Martin's-lane, with captain Coote to go home, that if they did go he would go and see it.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--If they did go; who did he mean by they?
APPLEGATE--My lord Warwick and captain Coote that were in the other chairs; there was nobody else to speak to.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL--Was there any talk of fighting or quarrelling?
APPLEGATE--No, indeed, I do not know of any difference there was between them.
LORD HIGH STEWARD--My lord Warwick, will your lordship ask this witness any questions?
EARL OF WARWICK--My lord, I desire he may be asked, Whether I did not endeavour to put off the going into Leicester-fields, and to have all things let alone till to-morrow.
APPLEGATE--My lord, I cannot say any thing of that; but I did hear my lord Mohun beg heartily of captain Coote to go home, and let the business alone till another time; and indeed I think, I never heard a man beg more heartily for an alms at a door, than he did, that they might not go into the fields then; but I cannot say that I heard any thing that my lord of Warwick said about it.
LORD HIGH STEWARD--Will your lordship ask him any other questions?
Catro, who was the second chairman who carried Lord Mohun's chair, corroborated Applegate's evidence. Palmer, Jackson, and Edwards were three chairmen who had helped to carry French, James, and Dockwra to Leicester Fields; but they had nothing to add to the evidence already given.
