Also there was an end of a wax candle, which as John Belringer saith, he left in the prison burning with Hun that same Sunday at night that Hun was murdered, which wax candle we found sucking upon the stocks fair put out, about seven or eight foot from the place where Hun was hanged, which candle after our opinion was never put out by him, for many likelihoods which we have perceived. Also at the going up of master Chancellor into the Lollards tower: we have good proof that there lay on the stocks a gown either of Murrey or Crimson in grain furred with shanks. Whose gown it was we could never prove, neither who bare it away. All we find that Master William Horsey Chancellor to my Lord of London, hath had at his commandment both the rule and guiding of the said prisoner. Moreover, all we find that the said master Horsey Chancellor hath put Charles Joseph out of his office, as the said Charles hath confessed, because he would not deal and use the said prisoner so cruelly, and do to him as the Chancellor would have had him to do. Notwithstanding the deliverance of the keys to the Chancellor by Charles on the Saturday at night before Huns death, and Charles riding out of the town on that sunday in the morning ensuing, was but a convention made betwixt Charles and the Chancellor for to colour the murder. For the same sunday that Charles rode forth, he came again to the town at night, and killed Richard Hun, as in the depositions of Julian Little, Thomas Chicheley, Thomas Simondes, and Peter Turner do appear.
Also there was an end of a waxe candle, whiche as Iohn Belringer sayth, he lefte in the prison burning with Hunne that same Sunday at night that Hunne was murthered, which waxe candle we founde sucking vpon the stockes fayre put out, about seuen or eight foote from the place where Hunne was hanged, which candle after our opinion was neuer put out by him, for many likelyhoods which we haue perceiued. Also at the going vp of mayster Chauncellor into the Lollardes tower: we haue good proofe that there lay on the stockes a gowne either of Murrey or Crimosin in grayne furred with shankes. Whose gowne it was we could neuer proue, neither who bare it away. All we finde that Mayster William Horsey Chauncellour to my Lord of London, hath had at his commaundement both the rule and guiding of the sayd prisoner. Moreouer, all we finde that the sayde maister Horsey Chauncellor hath put Charles Ioseph out of his office, as the sayd Charles hath confessed, because he woulde not deale and vse the sayde prisoner so cruelly, and doe to him as the Chauncellour woulde haue had him to do. Notwithstanding the deliuerance of the keies to the Chauncellour by Charles on the Saturday at night before Hunnes death, and Charles riding out of the towne on that sonday in the morning ensuing, was but a conuention made betwixt Charles and the Chauncellour for to colour the murther. For the same sonday that Charles rode forth, he came agayne to the town at night, and killed Richard Hunne, as in the depositions of Iulian Littel, Thomas Chicheley, Thomas Simondes, and Peter Turner do appeare.
