ABSTRACT
Coote was in Browne's chair, and directed him to go to Leicester Fields; the Earl and Lord Mohun, in the chairs behind him, called out to ask where he was going, and Coote replied 'To Leicester Fields'; to which the Earl replied 'Pray do not, but come along with us, and let it alone till to Morrow.' So Browne and Crippes went on as far as St Martin's lane when the Earl and Lord Mohun called out to them to stop, and they did so, at the back door of the Cross Keys tavern; so the three chairs stopped there in line abreast and while the occupants were talking three other chairs arrived and also stopped there. Then Coote bid his chairmen make haste to Leicester Fields, and if they could go no faster, he swore, he would run his sword in one of their bodies.
