JLCJ.  No  doubt  Wit

West.  Capt.  Walcot,  I  would  not  take  away
yoor  life  to  save  my  own  ;  but  I  do  take  it
upon  me,  that  you  did  agree  to  command,  or
be  one  of  those  that  were  to  fight  the  guards.
JL  C.  J.  What  was  the  reason  he  would  not
kUr^ie  king  ?

West.  He  said  it  was  a  base  thin?  that  way,
being  a  naked  person,  and  he  would  not  do  it.
L.  C,J.  So  the  point  is  the  same  ;  but  only
yon  distingnished  in  the  point  of  your  mis-
taken honour,  and  thoagfat  to  kill  the  king  was
not  so  honourable  a  pomt  as  to  fieht  his  gwds.
Cqst.  Waicct.  There  is  no  dimreooe  ^tween
the  one  and  the  other  ;  to  do  one  and  the  other
is  the  same  thing.
X.  C.  J.  Your  judgment  is  now  rectified ;
bat  what  say  yon  to  the'matter  f  For  now  you
bear  what  is  fastened  upon^ou,  that  is,  soFcral
oottsnlts  about  the  secunng  or  killing  the
iEH^  9^^bA  your  advice  was  to  kill  him,  and
yaa  did  go  down  to  Rumb^ld's  honse,  to  view
the  place  where  it  mi^t  be  done  the  more  se-
<9iray ;  knd  yon  did  undertake,  ad  several
witnesses  say,  not  Only  Mr.  West,  but  col.
Rnmsey,  and  another  of  them,  (Bourn  I  think
it  was^  that  yon  would  fight  the  guards,  if
you  might  have  a  connderwle  number  of  men.
Cant.  Walcot,  My  lord,  if  ever  I  was  at
Mr.  Rumbold's  house,  uoJess  it  was  when  I
travelled  firmn  ¥oik  by  Norwich,  and  came  to
liondoo  ;  if  ever  I  was  there  since,  then  I  am
guilty  of  all  the  roguery  imaginable.
