Maria Lewis - Servant to and abiding
at the House of William Phillips of the
parish of Saint Woollos in the Boro'
of Newport in the County of Monmouth
Grocer - I remember the morning of
the Riots the 4th November last -
I was in the Sitting
Room fronting the Westgate Inn between
Eight and nine o'clock I think - There
were several persons in the Room at the
time I saw a great Many Men
turn the corner at the foot of
Stow Hill round to the front of
the Westgate Inn - They had
Guns, pikes and other Weapons
in their hands - I saw Mr John
Frost with them - I knew him
by his face - I said to the others
in the Room - "there is John
Frost" - Frost was on the front
of the Mob - He had something
round his Chin and Mouth &
round his neck - and tied in
front - I am quite certain
it was Mr John Frost I saw. -
I heard the firing - I then
ran away to the kitchen which
is at the back of the House -
I remained in the kitchen
a long time - I then went

up to the front Sitting Room and
saw several dead bodies lying in front of the Westgate and
the Westgate Windows broken in -
I saw a Man amongst the crowd when
they first came down with a Wooden
leg - He had a Gun in his hand
I should know him again if I was
to see him - I did not see him
fire -
