By Edward Chamberlayne, John Chamberlayne pub. London 1723.] [Yesterday Sir Thomas Montgomery brought in a complaint against Mr. Benjamin Skutt, one of the Council, for uttering unbecoming words of the King's affairs, and particularly about the execution of the traitor Cornish, which words, though they might not amount to high treason, were, in Sir Thomas's judgment, highly criminal. To prove this Sir Thomas, about eight o'clock at night, brought a servant and kinsman of Mr. Skutt's, one that had a little before attempted to murder Mr. Skutt in the night by lying in wait for him at his own house. The attempt was frustrated by a gentleman who lived in the house with Mr. Skutt. This gentleman coming in before him received the assault and was too strong for the assailant, whereupon the man declared that it was Mr. Skutt he meant to have killed. This would-be murderer of Mr. Skutt Sir Thomas now brought to me as a witness against Mr. Skutt, with a deposition ready drawn to the effect that fifteen or sixteen months ago, while at sea in the voyage from England to Barbados, Skutt reproached this witness, Pendleton by name, with being son of a perjured person, his father having been one of the jurors who found Cornish guilty, and added that if he had been on the jury he would not have found him guilty. Skutt, it was alleged, repeated these same words later in his own house and in the hearing of witnesses whom Sir Thomas Montgomery desired me to examine. I therefore took Pendleton's oath to the deposition which he brought to me, and next morning summoned the other witnesses named by him and examined them in the presence of Sir Thomas and of three members of Council. The witnesses all confessed that they were in the room at the time when Pendleton was with Mr. Skutt but never heard Skutt say a word about Cornish then or at any other time. So there the matter rests at present, but I thought it my duty to report it to you. As Mr. Skutt has always shewn himself loyal and dutiful here, and I believe also in England, I was not advised by the members of Council to suspend Mr. Skutt or to bind him to answer to the matter. Sir Thomas says that he has more witnesses, though he has not named them to me. If such there be I will send copies of their depositions. Signed, Edwyn Stede. [Col.
