Title	Henry Hatsell to George Treby; Mrs Cellier has produced her narrative in which she suggests that the story of the Popish Plot was a fraud
Date	4 Sep 1680
Description	The contents of Bedloe's affidavit ar not yet publicly know. Bedloe's wife was present in the Chamber when the affidavit was made, and desired a copy, but it was refused her. On his return from Bristol he waited on the King at Windsor, and on Wednesday the 25th following. A copy of hte affidavidit or a part of it was road before the Council at Whitehall. On Sunday following the Council sat at Windsor, were was a great debate. It is generally believed the Parliament will sit a very little while, however it will be convenient that the members attend. Giles has a long time well recovered of the bruises he received when he stood in the pillory. He was to have stood again last week , but it was countermanded from Windsor. On Wednesday last another order was made at the Sessions for his standing to-day at Gray's Inn Gate, which he did accordingly. Mrs Cellier was committed about a month since for printing her narrative, and one sheet of it was taken in the press. But she was bailed, and the whole is since printed, consisting of about twelve sheets, which she openly sells at her own house. The chief design of it is to justify herself and blacken Dangerfield. That the Popish Plot is a fraud. She abuses Oates and Bedlow, and says that the papers were laid at Colonel Mansell's lodgings by contrivance between him and Dangerfield. There are reflections upon Lord Shaftesbury and the Duke of Buckingham. And the King is abused for she says the St. Omer youths came over here by his command. There are many impudent lies in it, and it seems to be written to defy justice.
