Same to the Attorney General of the petition of Benjamin Dreyden as formerly referred to Philip Burton. Hereon the Attorney General is to report the proper way of discharging petitioner's recognizances. Ibid, p. 27.
Prefixing: said Burton's report dated Clifford's Inn, 1682, Nov. 29, on said previous reference. Peter de Guyn, a French Protestant, was accused for ravishing Mary Barlow, a child between seven and eight years old, and tried by Justice Pemberton. The accused insisted on his innocency and endeavoured to prove that a cowman and a blackamore had formerly used her body. She confessed they had, but insisted that de Quyn had also done the like, and two surgeons who viewed her body affirmed that she had been very much abused and was bruised in a very deplorable manner. De Quyn was bound over to appear next term and petitioner was one of his bail. Petitioner brought De Quinn into court on the day, but he watching his opportunity slipped from his bail and is quite run away. On examination it appears that the prosecution was malicious, the child's aunt being proved a very contentious woman and her attorney confessing to me that they intended getting a piece of money out of De Quinn, as is attested by Jane Earl.

Petitioner shews that he served for some years in France under Col. Dungan and quitted the French service on the King's proclamation, the other officers [who did the like] having been all or most of them provided with pensions: that petitioner's father, Sir George Bingham, was outed from his estate in Ireland by the late usurped power, and was unable to provide for petitioner, a second son: that soon after quitting the French service petitioner fell sick and continued ill in Montpelier and other places and so was incapable of returning to receive the like grace the other officers have had. Prays a pension. Ibid, p. 29.
