4 inclosed Paper, both Men at that time, and both at the Trial; and for Mr. Lumley, he lived next door to Walker'', and what he hath given under his Hand, can depose if there were occasion. The other Gentleman writ his Attestation with his own Hand; but I being not there got not his name to it. I could have sent you twenty Hands that could have said thus much and more by Hearsay, but I thought these most proper that could speak from their own Eyes and Ears. Thus far Mr. Shepherdson, the Doctor's discreet and faithful Intelligencer; now for Mr. Lumly of Lumly, being an ancient Gentleman, and at the Trial of Walker and Sharp upon the Murder of Anne Walker, saith, That he doth very well remember that the said Anne was Servant to Walker, and that she was supposed to be with Child, but would not disclose by whom; but being removed to her Aunts in the same Town called Dame Caire'', told her Aunt that he that got her with Child would take care both for her and it, and bid her not trouble her self.
