NOTWITHSTANDING after these his first examinations, he continued in the prison of the Compter, from the month of May to November, when he was again produced against the final judiciary. Where is to be noted, that Mr. Gibson being a very big and tall man, of a personal and heroical stature, was sent for by Bonner by a little man, a promoter, like Robin Papist, called Robin Caley.
THIS Robin Caley having the conducting of the said gentleman from the Poultry, would needs haul him through Cheapside, the gentleman desiring him to turn some other way. But the more the gentleman entreated, the more fierce was he upon him; and drawing and holding him by the arm, would needs haul him through the High-street, ⟨p. 504⟩that all the world might see what he could do in his office. Mr. Gibson, desirous to go without holding, entreated him to let his arm loose, and he would go quietly with him whither he would, only craving that he might go by him freely without being noticed by the people.
