To do Fuller justice, he seems not to have taken up the trade of a false witness till he could no longer support himself by begging or swindling. He lived Digitized by LjOOQIC l«»S. WILLIAM AND MART. 183 for a time on the charity of the Queen. He then levied contributions by pretending to be one of the noble family of Sidney. He wheedled Tillotson out of some money, and requited the good Archbishop's kindness by passing himself off as His Grace's fa- vourite nephew. But in the autumn of 1691 al...l these shifts were exhausted. After lying in several spunging houses, Fuller was at length lodged in the King's Bench prison, and he now thought it time to announce that he had discovered a plot.* He addressed himself first to Tillotfion and Port- land : but both Tillotson and Portland soon perceived that he. was lying. What he said was, however, re- ported to the King, who, as might have been ex- pected, treated the information and the informer with cold contempt. All that remained was to try whether a flame could be raised in the Parliament.
