junior swore, that he saw Bean running with great Joy from Fleet-street towards Ludgate-hill with part of the Sign of the said Mug-house, making a great Noise with a Mob that accompanied him; that a Cart standing at a Patters Door hard by, Bean put it into the Cart and returned; that there were the Letters R.R.E. upon the Sign, which made him take notice of it, and believes it by those Letters to be Mr. Read's Sign: That this was about one a-Clock. He was very positive Bean was the Man; for that he intended to have stopt him, in case he had come up so high as his House.

deposed, that he saw the Prisoner Bean, in his Return to my Lord Mayor's from Salisbury-Court, with part of the Sign in his Hand, in a great Heat, running with it along in the greatest Joy and Triumph imaginable, towards Fleet-Disch; which sarprized him, he being a Servant to Mr. Cassie and Mr. Carnegy, two Rebel Prisoners now condemned in Newgate. But that he could not take him then, because of the Mob. Next Morning he met him in Newgate-street, and took him up and confined him in Newgate.
