That is possible.
The coroner appears to have been aware of the Juwes spelling before he questioned Long about it and even before Halse gave evidence.
It was Halse who recorded the spelling as Juwes and the coroner asked Long about it again, after Halse had finished giving evidence.
It seems that the version we have ended up with is Warren's and Long's wording, Warren's layout of the words, and Warren and Halse's spelling of the word Jews.
It is reported at
that Warren spelled the word Jewes, but there are, I believe, too many loops in his writing of that word for that to be a correct transcription of his copy.
