JAMES II. AT FEVERSHAM.

[We are indebted to the kindness of SIR NORTON
KNATCHBULL for the opportunity of laying before Our
Readers the accompanying valuable contribution to that
interesting event in our history, the arrest of James the
Second at Feversham - a matter so curiously illustrated
by the contemporary Diary printed in "N. & Q." 3rd S.
v. 391. The MS. Diary from which this narrative is
taken was written by Sir John Knatchbull, the second
Baronet, in 1688-9, and was found among the family
papers at Mersham Hatch in 1848.]

the Upholsterer were visiting the house, and mea-
suring the Roomes, and I tooke my leave, telling
Coll. Thornhill that perhaps the Queen would not
come when she heard the Mobile of the county
were beginning to stirr, for they had just then
seized on Dover Castle.

"10th. My Lord Winchelsea, Coll. Thornhill, M
Mead, and Mr Sherman dined with me about one
of the clock. Mr Wright, my Lord's servant,
came from Canterbury, and brought the news of
the Rabble's attempt on Sir Edward Hales and
Mr Kingsley's houses, and said the Gentlemen
there desired my Lord's company and mine next
day where I promised my Lord to meett him.

"11th. I came to Canterbury where I found
many of the Gentlemen of the County assembled,
and my Lord with them; the streets full of Peo-
ple. The reports and occurrences of this day and

Day-Doctor and Student" Longevity-Macaulay's yesterday were many, vizt the rifling Sir Edward
Hales his House, the killing of his Deer, the
almost totall demolishing of Captain Kingsley's
house, the stopping and robing of passengers and
bringing in the Strangers, the taking of Baron
Gener, Mr Walker, M Graham, Mr Burton, &c.
The news of my Lord Peterborough being taken
at Margate, the report of the Queen's Coaches
being laid at Lambeth and upon the road; the
news of severall Coaches turning back upon the
seizure of others at Sittenbourne. This day the
King rid through the country with Sir Edward
Hales, by the way of ffainingham and Alesford,
&c. The most remarkable passage was that of
the Feversham men taking of Baron Genner, Mr
Walker, &c. Mr Napleton brought the newes to
Canterbury, and after having given a particular
account of the manner of itt to my Lord Winchel-
sea and the Gentlemen, among whom was the
Mayor of Cant, Mr Gibbs, he proposed bringing
the prisoners imediately to Canterbury because
they suspected the Irish at Rochester, and Coll.
Hale's Regiment at Maidstone, might rescue them.
These Soldiers had been a great terror to the
County before, and now their fears were much in-
creased by a speech of one of the prisoners (itts said
Mr Walker's) that they made noe question but the
Irish would come to their reliefe, which frighted
the Towne of ffeversham to thatt degree that they
wish't for nothing more than to be rid of them,
and began to hide all their best goods under
ground, and sent Mr Napleton, who was one of
those who took them, to the Gentlemen to remove
them with all speed. The Mayor and the Towne
of Canterbury for fear of this Storme declined itt,
and proposed the sending of them to Dover Castle.
I said that was in the hands of the Rabble, and
therefore not so fitt; besides, if the forces of
Rochester had any such intention, they must come
through Canterbury, and might prove very trou-
blesome. Others proposed sending them by water
to London; others to Tilbury Fort. Att last my

"1688, Dec. 9th. I dined with Lord Winchelsea.
When we were at dinner Coll. Thornhill, M
Mead, and Queen Dowager's Upholsterer came in,
to the surprise of all the Company, but said no-
thing of their business till after dinner, when Coll.
Thornhill tooke my Lord and Lady aside into the
next Roome; and it was presently discovered that
the Queen was coming within 2 or 3 days to East-
well, and my Lord was to goe to Mote. I told
my Lady that this news had some extraordinary
meaning in itt, and asked Mr Thornhill what was
the cause of itt, saying I thought her safer in
Somersett House than any other place. His
answer was he could not tell unlesse itt was that
Her Majesty did not know how to receive his high-
nesse when he came to Town. I told him I could
conclude nothing from that, but that his Majesty
would withdraw himselfe, as for the rest I was
still in the Darke. All this while Mr Mead and
