A Discovery of the Savoy-Plot; with an Account of the Manner of Seizing and Securing Fourteen Priests and Papists, with great Bundles of Papers, some of which are said to be the late King's Declarations, etc. in Dutchy-Lane near the Savoy. Licenced, June 17th, 1689. NOtwithstanding the late Act of Parliament to Banish Papists Ten Miles from the Town and the many other Statutes made against their going to Mass, and to Curb the Insolency of their Pernicious Principles and Practices which they have continually demonstrated against the Government, yet we find that they are so regardless of the Laws, as to continue in open Defiance against them, and to Lurk in every Quarter about the Town, there being such of them who Daily hold their Cabals, where they Consult Notorious Falsehoods on purpose to defame the Government, and broach it for Currant about the Town; but through the Vigilancy of some discerning Protestants, a whole Nest of them was Yesterday in the Afternoon discovered and seized upon in Dutchy-Lane in the Savoy, to the Number of Eleven, all Papists, if not most of them Priests and Jesuits. That English Proverb, When Rogues fall out, Honest Men comes by their Goods; being hereby Verified, for one Mrs. Curtain a Lodger in Mr. Fitzgeralds House in Dutchy-Lane in the Savoy having some difference with her Land-Lady, took the opportunity to give Information at Court, that a Swarm of Irish Priests, Jesuits and Papists, were privately hatching Mischief in a Vault under Ground in the said Mr. Fitzgeralds House; a Messenger with a Band of Soldiers having first Guarded all the Avenues, entered the said House, and as they were secretly escaping, seized about Eight, but being informed that more were there, they found one hid in the Oven, a Second in a Cupboard, and a Third in a Trunk, and carried them off, with the Master of the House, with all their Books and their Papers, which may prove of dangerous Import, it being said, some of King Jame's Declaration are among them; they also seized one Mr. Somorson, with several others, at his House in the said Lane, and have carried them all for the present, being Fourteen in Number, to the Round-House by the Maypole in the Strand, and will this Day have them Examined at Whitehall, and great Discoveries are expected from it.
