Note 174 — Chapter I

7 State Trials 295. Information of Mrs. Warrier. Brief Hist. iii. 142. Burnet ii. 164. Evidence of the coroner before the Lords’ committee. House of Lords MSS. 46. L’Estrange produces two depositions to the effect that the ground was quite dry and not muddy, and in doing so contradicts the argument upon which he lays stress in arguing against Prance’s story (see below) that if the body had been brought to Primrose Hill upon a horse, the feet and legs must have been covered with mud. Brief Hist. iii. 261, and see 8 State Trials 1370 for the same point in Thompson’s libel.
