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

word_n before_o evidence_n give_v in_o open_a court_n but_o have_v say_v they_o shall_v have_v have_v no_o advantage_n of_o the_o exception_n unless_o it_o be_v before_o plea_n plead_v it_o do_v not_o

certain_o my_o lord_n you_o must_v take_v it_o as_o the_o law_n be_v before_o this_o act_n for_o this_o clause_n do_v nothing_o for_o the_o prisoner_n but_o be_v against_o he_o l._n c._n j._n holt._n

in_o criminal_a cause_n according_a to_o the_o course_n of_o practice_n which_o will_v always_o be_v the_o law_n till_o particular_o alter_v i_o believe_v no_o body_n can_v pretend_v that_o after_o

in_o this_o act_n of_o parliament_n which_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o be_v not_o for_o your_o advantage_n it_o do_v not_o give_v you_o that_o liberty_n that_o you_o desire_v sir_n b._n shewer_n all_o the_o clause_n in_o this_o act_n of_o parliament_n show_v their_o intention_n be_v this_o that_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o lawmaker_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v this_o liberty_n at_o any_o time_n before_o evidence_n give_v for_o if_o there_o be_v such_o word_n as_o show_v they_o think_v it_o may_v quash_v at_o any_o time_n though_o they_o be_v mistake_v in_o the_o practice_n yet_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o liberty_n that_o they_o intend_v we_o and_o the_o word_v of_o this_o act_n show_v that_o the_o parliament_n think_v it_o may_v be_v do_v after_o the_o trial_n begin_v before_o evidence_n

or_o the_o like_a if_o any_o one_o do_v come_v as_o amicus_fw-la curiae_fw-la and_o acquaint_v the_o court_n that_o they_o be_v go_v to_o proceed_v upon_o a_o erroneous_a record_n or_o give_v a_o

especial_o where_o the_o word_n be_v any_o way_n doubtful_a according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o this_o act_n of_o parliament_n a_o copy_n of_o the_o indictment_n need_v to_o be_v deliver_v but_o 5_o
