September 1799.

Thomas Nicholson< no role > Clerk at the House of
Correction Sworn - I recollect Evans coming to
the Prison, saw him the next Morning after he
came in, in, the Kitchen about 11 or 12, o' Clock, I
asked some of the Servants what he did there they
said he was for the Lottery and he was not well
I did not speak to him, about a Day or two afterwards
he then complained of a violent pain in his Stomach
put his hand to his Stomach and said he wanted
to see the Doctor I said the Doctor would be here
presently and you shall see him he said very well
this was about two days after he had come into the
Prison, he was moved from the Kitchen to the Infir-
-mary from the complaints made to the Doctor nobody
Order Prisoners into the Infirmary but the Doctor
Aris never Orders any body into the Infirmary he
has seen Mr.. Butcher there two or three or more
times, I remember the Doctor coming into the Office
and saying hang the Certificates I have more
plague with them than enough, Dr.. Webb wrote the
Certificate in the Office gave it to me and bid me
give it to Butcher or any of Evan's Friends and
I gave it to the Governor I saw him the 2d. day in
the Kitchen he would not have been in the Kitchen
if he had not been ill.

Resolved Unanimously That the
Charge against Mr.. Aris the Governor of the House
of Correction of shewing Indulgence and getting
a Certificate for the Pardon and Discharge of
Evan Evans< no role > in Consequence of the Loan of £100.
has not been proved and is Ill founded.
