Letter from Jeanor, about Col. Axtel being assisting in the late King's Death.

"May it please your Lordship,

"I have thought fit to communicate unto your Lordship, in order to the due Execution of Justice, a Matter concerning Colonel Axtell, who would (as I humbly conceive) have been brought under a more severe Condemnation than what the News out of England reports, had his Deportment been as well known unto others as unto me, concerning His late Majesty, when He was brought before the pretended High Court of Justice; for I (then having the Honour to attend His Majesty, as being One of His menial Servants) heard the said Colonel Axtell advise and earnestly incite the Soldiers then in Westm. Hall, in a barbarous Manner, to cry out for Justice (as he termed it) against His said Majesty. And on the Day when that pretended Court pronounced Sentence against His then Majesty, I heard him then say to his Soldiers, "Cry out for Execution:" Which they did accordingly.

"What I have now written I am ready to aver upon Oath, whensoever I shall be brought to testify against him; which I should have sooner made known to your Lordship, had I not been kept in this Place by my bodily Infirmities, and had I not been persuaded that the same had been more publicly taken Notice of than now it seems to be. Having nothing at present to occasion or justify the longer Continuance of these Lines, I shall take Leave to conclude myself,

Kilkenny, June the 30, 1660.

"Right Honourable,

"Your Lordship's

"Most humble Servant,

"J. Jeonar."
