Title: Further examination of SIR GEORGE COTTON.
Description:

--Examination of Sir George Cotton, taken at Mr. Attorney-General a chamber at Gray's Inn.

 

Examinate saith he was often at the Court last term, but not on the 5th of November last. Was in his house that night, and he and his children saw the bonfires in the street, but did not go out. "Was not upon the terrace that leadeth to the presence chamber these seven years, nor up the stairs that leadeth to the waiting place joining to the presence chamber."

 

Saw his brother John some three or four times at the Tower, but had no speech with him about his troubles, nor ever either cast or received any paper or letter to or from him, other than some small pieces asking for money or other necessaries, which were brought him by his brother's keeper.

 

Neither conveyed away or burnt any papers when he was in examination before the Archbishop at Lambeth, and only desired to withdraw for awhile into another room " by reason he was cold and not well at ease, that he might warm himself at the fire." Signed, Geo. Cotton.

 

Endorsed :--"The second exam. of Sir G. Cotton."
