A25872	The arraignment, tryal, and condemnation of Ambrose Rookwood, for the horrid and execrable conspiracy to assassinate His Sacred Majesty King William, in order to a French invasion of this kingdom who upon full evidence was found guilty of high treason before His Majesty's justices of Oyer and Terminer, at Westminster on Tuesday the 21st of April 1696, and received sentence the day following, and was executed at Tyburn on the 29th day of the said month : in which tryal is contained all the learned arguments of the King's council and likewise the council for the prisoner, upon the new act of Parliament for regulating tryals in cases of treason.	Rookwood, Ambrose, 1664-1696, defendant.	1696 (1696)	Wing A3755; ESTC R4588	88,215	80

themselves_o must_v go_v further_a for_o a_o bare_a discovery_n and_o apprehend_v any_o of_o their_o accomplice_n will_v not_o entitle_v they_o to_o the_o reward_n mention_v in_o the_o proclamation_n but_o they_o must_v discover_v and_o apprehend_v their_o accomplice_n so_o as_o they_o be_v bring_v to_o justice_n before_o they_o can_v be_v entitle_v to_o the_o reward_n and_o to_o be_v bring_v to_o

he_o discover_v mr._n rookwood_n and_o go_v with_o the_o guard_n to_o the_o compter_n and_o seize_v he_o and_o if_o mr._n rookwood_n be_v convict_v mr._n harris_n be_v not_o to_o have_v any_o thing_n

for_o where_o there_o be_v a_o conviction_n of_o manslaughter_n and_o the_o party_n be_v pardon_v we_o think_v that_o pardon_n of_o the_o king_n work_v in_o a_o way_n of_o discharge_v as_o much_o as_o the_o burn_a in_o the_o hand_n i_o take_v it_o it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n they_o admit_v that_o will_v discharge_v he_o to_o all_o intent_n and_o purpose_n and_o so_o we_o think_v do_v this_o as_o
