I know Henry Frost I saw
him Sunday Eve-ng about
__ or 9
8 ^ Oclock with a Great
Coat & foraging Cap pass me
at W Hawkins' (the present
Mayors door) I was induced
to follow him. When he went
into the Court leading to the
Hope Chappel (at Byrons)
He looked about as if
he was afraid of being
watched

Xd by Mr Geach

I have known Henry Frost for 12 Mos at least
I never had any conversation with him.
I am quite certain it was him I saw
with the foraging Cap. It was not the usual
Cap. I have been in the habit of seeing him.
He did not run away quite the reverse.
The Hope Chappel is on the road to the road to Risca
A person going by Hope Chapel would be going
round about to go to Risca.
I do not know whether going down Commercial
St. to go to Risca is not the most public way
I believe Commercial St & the lane or road

side in Commercial Street.

1/2 p 7 & 8 O clock Saw prisoner in High St.

The prisoner then passed me first as I was knocking
at the Door. I did not wait for anyone
to open the Door I did not look at my watch.
It would be nearer 8 O clock when I saw
____at the Hope Chapel
him ^ then when I saw him pass first.
I know that & 8 Oclock is about the time
the Chapels lining the Road dissolve
/¢‚¬¦/ there is another & more direct road to Risca
up Stow Hill. I believe there is a Road
to Risca at the back of the Town. I saw
some of the persons who composed the Mob
wounded. I saw a Man fall wounded
in the act of running Away I did not
see the Prisr. by the Westgate


Re Examd
_____________________a Pike

The Man wounded had in his
Hand but whether he took the pike there
or Picked it up I cannot say.
