Mr. Fynes made Report to the House of Commons of three Heads. 1. Concerning the Tower. 2. Wherein the French are concerned in the Conspiracy. 3. Of provoking the Army against the Parliament by false reports. Captain Billingsleyes' Examination was reported by Mr. Hambden, who says, he had no hand in the Conspiracy, only that Sir john Suckling invited him to the employment in the Army. Also, one Nuts Examination reported, who deposed that the Earl of strafford's escape was practised. Then the Lieutenant of the Tower's Examination was reported, who says clearly, that the Earl of Strafford endeavoured an Escape, promising 20000. pound to marry his Son to his Daughter, and to have made her one of the greatest Marriages in the Kingdom. Concerning the Army Lieutenant Colonel Ballards' Examination was reported by Sir Philip Stapleton, which shows that Captain Childley had brought down to the Army many instrnctions. And that Colonel Goring should be Lieutenant General of the Army, and the Prince, and the Lord of Newcastle to meet them in Nottinghamshire, with one thousand Horse. All which propositions came from Mr. Henry Iermin, and were dispersed by Sergeant Major Wallis, and Captain Chidley. Sergeant Major Wallis upon his Examination, says that the French would assist them, and the Clergy▪ would at their own charge send a thousand horse. Colonel Goring upon his Examination says, he was tied up by an Oath of secrecy, and therefore durst not answer to all the Interrogatories, which Oath he saith was given him by M. Piercy in his Chamber at White-Hall in presence of Mr. Wilmot, Colonel Ashburnham, Captain Pollard and others, who said they had all of them taken this Oath, and that he was the last of the company that was to take it. Mistress Plumw●ll says that a French man, a Carver to the Queen, brought Arms to her house, and desired her to keep them, for that the house of Commons had made an order, that no Papists should have Arms in their custody, and then fetched them back again, about the time the Earl of strafford's escape was practised. There was also a report of a Letter from Mr. Iermin to Mr. Montague, which was intercepted, wherein he writ, that he hoped that the horse Leeches would be starved for want of food. Also, of another Letter from Mr. Montague to Master Iermin, which shown, they expected the Lord of Strafford shortly with them. Also Mr. Bland upon his examination, saith, that Mr. Iermin much endeavoured to get Portsmouth into his hands. And that there was two letters from one Roberts a Priest, to the Bishop of Chalcedon in recommendation of two English Priests. FINIS.
