Q. to Aaron Levy < no role > . Will you give an Account what you have to say against the Prisoner at the Bar?

Levy. Robert Fitzgerald < no role > attempted an Escape.

Q. How did he attempt an Escape?

Levy. In Woman's Cloaths.

Q. Did you see him in Woman's Cloaths?

Levy. Yes, my Lord, he was kept in Woman's Cloaths till I came Home. I was out when the Attempt was first made. I was afterwards informed of Prisoner's assisting to Fitzgerald's Escape.

Q. to Jasper Bull < no role > . What have you to say?

Bull. On Monday, the 6th of October, Fitzgerald attempted to make his Escape.

Q. What are you?

Bull. I am a Prisoner. On the 6th of October , between six and seven o'Clock, Mr Fitzgerald came down Stairs in Woman's Cloaths, and with his Face painted, but by the Diligence of the Turnkey, Fitzgerald was detected, and stripped of the Cloaths in my Room. Mr Levy, upon enquiring who was aiding and assisting, with respect to the Cloaths, had some Suspicion of Figueiro, as they had some Intimacy. I heard him say that he painted some small Part of his Face, his Eye-brows, and some small Part under the Eye; then Mr Levy asked if he knew any thing of the Cloaths, he said he did, but he did not understand by the Laws of England, that he had committed an Offence, that was what he said in my Room.

Acquitted .
