and being concerned to see the devastation made by the<lb></lb>
Rioters expressed himself with some asperity to the said<lb></lb>
Russell, against the protestant Association, at that time<lb></lb>
considering them as the sole Cause of the Turnutts on which<lb></lb>
Russell said that papists were employed in these<lb></lb>
Outrages, and that if he this Informant would go down, with<lb></lb>
him to the priests House then pulling down he would shew<lb></lb>
to him a papist then actually concerned in the demolition<lb></lb>

continues to believe were rioters, that sd. Russell pointed<lb></lb>
him out as the person alluded to in the Conversation<lb></lb>
above related, and said to convince this Informant he<lb></lb>
would call him by Name; he accordingly called his Name twice<lb></lb>
to the best of this informants recollection, a little after he<lb></lb>
passed them, then Martin halted and look'd at Mr.<lb></lb>
Russell, who said to him Martin have you changed<lb></lb>
your Coat, to pull your own house down he appeared<lb></lb>
confused, said "No, and went off, this informant observed<lb></lb>
something of considerable Length, as a Weapon in his Hands<lb></lb>
but whether of Wood or Iron he cannot remember, says<lb></lb>
he observed that Martins Coat was a good deal covered<lb></lb>
with Rubbish, which he this informant took to be the<lb></lb>
dust or Rubbish of a building which had been pulled<lb></lb>
down, says the distance from where he stood to the Houses<lb></lb>
pulled down may be <gap reason="illegible"></gap>
about three hundred Yards, but he knows<lb></lb>
not the exact Distance, not being well acquainted with the<lb></lb>
place.</p>
