In which Persons apprehended under Suspition of Murther
Aprill: His majestie hath given orders to the lord mayor of London, and the justices of peace of Westminster and Middlesex, that they cause strict search to be made in their respective places for popish recusants, and to cause all such as they shall apprehend to be severely prosecuted.
The 17th, Francis Withens esq. (on whom his majestie then conferred the honour of knighthood) presented and addresse to his majestie from the grand inquest for the city of Westminster testifyeing their dislike and abhorrence of the late petition for a parliament that was carried on there.
The 19th the court removed to Windsor; and the 21st his majestie came to town to councill, and returned to Windsor again in the afternoon.
His majestie, for the greater encouragement of the assassinates of Mr. Arnold, hath been pleased to add a reward of 100l. more to such who shall discover the same.
Severall persons have been lately apprehended on suspition of being the assassinates of Mr. Arnold, as two of his majesties life guard men, one Joseph Cruytswelt, and one Richard Kavennach, who haveing been examined gave an account where they were when this barbarous fact was committed, and being carried before Mr. Arnold, he was pleased to clear them; but Richard Kavennach's examination did not agree with the places where he had been, and on other suspitions the councill committed him to Newgate.
The 26th, sir Leoline Jenkins was sworn one of his majesties principall secretaries of state, and received the seals which Henry Coventry esq. then delivered up.
The same day his majestie came to town from Windsor, and went for Newmarket the next day.
