Frances Gibbon Sworn States, I am the Wife of Thomas Gibbon,
he lives at Pill. he is a Watchman under Mr. Homfray. I know
the Prisoner at the Bar very well. I have known him about two
years I remember his coming to my house this night three weeks that
was the Wednesday before the Riots. he came there about 6 o'Clock
in the Evening enquiring for another man I was down stairs, and
I went up stairs to see who were there I saw the Prisoner talking

but I cannot tell you exactly the Man. he was in his Shirt sleeves,
I heard the Prisoner tell the Man not to be alarmed if he were
called for. I heard Frost's name mentioned that he was gone up to the
Hills to fetch the Colliers out Jenkin Morgan said that to the Man
in his Shirt Sleeves - Jenkin Morgan seemed to be greatly alarmed.
he said he expected Bloodshed would be in Pill and Newport before
Sunday Night, I took it so but, but I cant say whether it was Sunday
Night or Monday morning - I went strait to the Iron Yard to my
Husband. I told my husband of it. he said he did not credit it,
he said that I was a person of a nervous feeling and I am very

Prisoner came to my House, I know him quite well, I could not
be deceived - the person he called for John Gibby I know John Gibby
I know John Gibby he left home the Wednesday after the Riots he
has not been home since.
