page 421 note a Baynham was a fit person to be employed on such a mission. Mr. Jardine says that he was “a Catholic gentleman of good family in Gloucestershire, but of profligate and turbulent habits. Besides being engaged in Essex's rebellion, he had been more than once prosecuted in the Star Chamber, in the time of Elizabeth, for riots and affrays, and was known as the captain of a club, or society, called ‘The Damned Crew;’ the name of which strongly denotes its character.”—Criminal Trials, ii. 47.

page 423 note b Since writing the above, I have been informed that there is at Hatfield an original examination of Garnet, in which Lord Mounteagle is directly implicated. It was kept back at Garnet's trial by command of the King—probably on that account.
