that during his confinement in Tothill-fields Bridewell,4

contradictory statements have gone forth, in reference's
part of the case, the reporter subjoins Mr. Burds's own
of the transaction :
" I knew nothing (says Mr. Burd) about the mit/

Mr. Burd has been directed to attend the Privy ~e
day, when his evidence will be taken.
