Prime and Murray examined about Fuller.
Mr. Prime attending (as ordered) was called in; and
told, "He was not thought guilty in himself; but
their Lordships desire to ask him some Questions:"
And therefore he was to be sworn.
And, being sworn, was asked, "What Sums of Money
he had given to Fuller, and how much in the Whole;
and whether he had any Money from other Persons
to give Fuller?"
Mr. Prime said, "He had lent him some, he believed near Twenty Pounds; and had a Note from
him; but had it not here."
Being asked, "If he knew any Thing about writing
Fuller's Books?"
Said, "He knew not any Thing in his Books, save
in the last; and that Mr. Buck was employed to print
his last Book."
Being asked, "If he had a Prospect to be paid, otherwise than from Fuller's Sister in Kent?"
Said, "That was the principal Inducement; and that
he knew him not till August last."
Being asked, "What other Motive he had to lend
him the Money?"
Said, "He had no other Inducement than to be repaid; and that Fuller was recommended to him by
Mr. Robert Murrey."
Then Mr. Robert Murray, attending at the Door, was
called in; and asked, "If he knew any Person that
furnished Fuller with Money?"
Said, "He had seen him with Plenty of Money;
and that Mr. Prime furnished him with about Twenty
Pounds; and that he desired Prime to furnish him
therewith; and had known Fuller these Six Years
past, and was in Troubles with him for Money he
owed."
And being asked, "When he spoke to Prime, to lend
him Money?"
Said, "About Four or Five Months since; and that
Fuller pretended to be a great Favourite at Court, and
thought him Rectus in Curia."
And being asked, "What Sum he desired Prime to
lend him?"
Said, "It was about Two or Three Guineas."
And being asked, "If he knew that Fuller had been
in the Pillory?"
Said, "He did. But he promised to pay this Money;
and Mr. Fuller said, he had an Interest with both the
Secretaries."
Then he withdrew.
