He said the aura vas o be made on the day Ilis'Majesty went to the House; and His Majesty must he put to death, and the Mail coeches were to be stopped as signal to the people in the . country that they had revolted in town. After this conversation, " Wileisor,.(says he) Wood has 'mentioned you to me. I shall be g lad it yet: will meet me on Motaley morning on Tewer-hill, at Ralf-past eleven o'clock, and bring with you four or rive intelligent man,_ to consult on the beet method of taking, the Tower, and secur ing the arms." 1 promised to meet him. In the course of that meeting, he said, I have weighed the matter well, and my heart is'callous: I believe he said this after he said elle people were ripe. I promised to meet Into, and bring the intelligent persons he required. • The servant girl came into the roam, and Eniblin gave her 3d. saying, 1 will kiss you When I come again. I might have staid there about an hour 'and a half. Upon the Monday 1 met Colonel Uespard at the Tyger on Tower-hill. I took Winterbottom, a Soldier ot the saute Company, with me. was there exactly at the time appointed, and the Colonel came about five minutes before twelve.--When he came in, I met Winterbottom were in the tap-room. Colonel Despard made a motion, and 1 went out. He said, are those people helonaing to us .1 There were four or five in the taproritn.. I said, Yes. lie said, hid them tonne with me. I replied, there is only one I can de pend upon, and that is Winterbottom, Ile said, as you are myour regimentals, and well known, do you take one direc tion ami . l another, and meet me at Whitechapel-church. I returned to Winterbottom, and went with him according to appointment. The Colonel walked gently before us till we came to Whitechapel-church. He pointed to a public. house; the Two Bells, and said I will find a man who will glee tile informatites respecting Lynch.. He asked me if I had got money ? I told him I had ; I remained there about half an hour before he 'returned : he brought a man of the name of Heron, a discharged Soldier. At the Hying Horse, the Colonel had desired me toinquire for Lynch, who might he trusted . with any secret. Ile beckoned the out of the publio-house, and 'we walked up and down Brick-lane; and during that time, Windsor said "we are deceived as to the number of arms in the Beek ; there are but six hundred, and they have taken the hammers off to ren der them useless, eo they must have been apprized of our intention." We went to the Coach and Horses in 1V hitechapel, and had two pots of porter and some bread ant cheese. The Colonel said, Windsor, do you know th ose two Soldiers at-the top of the table ? I said I knew sheen by sight ; he said he believed they were two of us. Ile said, " Windsor, Hie Majesty must he put to death, and the people will be at liberty he afterwards invited the Soldiers to eat and drink, but they refused. He said he would make the attack himself the day His Majesty went to the House, it he could get no assistance front this Side of the, Water. lie, should make the attack with what forces lie had from Blackwell, %Vl;itechapel, and the other Divisions in Middle. sex. 1; was then understood that the 29th of November was the day His Majesty was to Meet ParliaMent. There was, however, a new appointment ; he asked me ill would meet hint at the Oakley Arms, on Wednesday, with eight or ten intelligent men, to consult on the best method of attack ing the' Power, and getting the arms. I told him if he would conic forward at the different Divisions and shew the people there was such ..man at the head of them, they would he satisfied. Colonel Despard paid tin the refreshment we had, end we then parted about a quarter before two. In .the course of the same day, I saw Ratten and Wood : Weisel bald he would post himself sentry over the great-gun in the Park, load it, and fire it at His Majesty's carriage as he passed it to go to the House. He might in the course of duty be on that Guard. I went to the Oakley Arms on th 1 6th November, I ar rived there about nine o'clock. I found the Officers were in possession when I went there; I went into the Tap,. ,room ; I had a pint of . porter I saw Mr. Stafford, introduced tile.eanversidiOn to hits, and told him whirl was. I com municated to him that I was acquainted with circumstances relating to Out night's business. He told me to.be at Union Hall, :I quarter before eleven o'clock.
