A26174	The Lord Chief Justice Herbert's account examin'd by W.A., Barrister at Law, ... ; wherein it is shewn that those authorities in law, whereby he would excuse his judgment in Sir Edward Hales his case, are very unfairly cited and as ill applied.	Atwood, William, d. 1705?	1689 (1689)	Wing A4176; ESTC R2780	39,888	80
