they_o deserve_v that_o which_o be_v urge_v gentleman_n by_o way_n of_o crimination_n in_o this_o case_n against_o the_o defendant_n and_o a_o unjust_a as_o well_o as_o foreign_a reflection_n not_o

at_o the_o time_n when_o it_o be_v bring_v and_o this_o arrest_v make_v for_o there_o be_v many_o a_o man_n that_o at_o the_o commencement_n of_o his_o action_n do_v conceive_v in_o himself_o he_o

the_o prosecution_n of_o it_o therefore_o the_o probability_n of_o the_o cause_n at_o the_o time-when_a this_o fact_n be_v do_v be_v the_o question_n you_o now_o be_v to_o try_v for_o we_o be_v not_o

original_a question_n of_o this_o whole_a cause_n be_v who_o be_v only_o elect_v sheriff_n and_o that_o at_o the_o time_n of_o such_o election_n make_v a_o great_a number_n of_o vote_n pass_v for_o the_o defendant_n be_v i_o think_v very_o notorious_a both_o upon_o the_o lift_n up_o of_o hand_n and_o upon_o the_o poll._n these_o thing_n we_o shall_v offer_v to_o you_o and_o shall_v make_v it_o out_o that_o these_o give_v occasion_n to_o the_o defendant_n to_o contest_v the_o election_n and_o consequent_o to_o the_o bring_n of_o the_o action_n that_o the_o plaintiff_n be_v thus_o arrest_v upon_o if_o then_o there_o be_v such_o thing_n as_o these_o that_o we_o have_v open_v which_o give_v a_o colour_n to_o controvert_v the_o right_n and_o the_o defendant_n pursue_v the_o method_n prescribe_v by_o the_o law_n to_o bring_v it_o to_o a_o determination_n and_o there_o be_v no_o particular_a disrespect_n or_o incivility_n offer_v to_o my_o lord_n mayor_n then_o sure_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o bring_v this_o action_n against_o we_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o indecent_a behaviour_n use_v towards_o the_o plaintiff_n do_v appear_v from_o the_o evidence_n that_o have_v be_v give_v of_o the_o whole_a transaction_n all_o that_o be_v desire_v of_o my_o lord_n mayor_n be_v but_o a_o appearance_n for_o this_o be_v indeed_o a_o action_n that_o do_v not_o require_v bail_n but_o a_o appearance_n though_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v i_o never_o know_v any_o one_o so_o averse_a to_o give_v a_o appearance_n to_o a_o action_n as_o the_o plaintiff_n be_v for_o after_o a_o

many_o attendance_n with_o all_o the_o deference_n and_o respect_n imaginable_a both_o to_o his_o person_n and_o office_n not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o bare_a appearance_n can_v be_v obtain_v upon_o the_o open_n of_o the_o declaration_n and_o the_o cause_n you_o have_v be_v tell_v of_o the_o great_a danger_n that_o be_v in_o the_o case_n as_o to_o the_o infringement_n of_o public_a peace_n and_o the_o government_n which_o have_v be_v very_o much_o aggravate_v on_o the_o other_o side_n but_o have_v the_o reasonable_a request_n of_o the_o defendant_n by_o his_o attorney_n or_o the_o officer_n so_o often_o repeat_v be_v but_o comply_v with_o it_o have_v be_v but_o send_v to_o any_o attorney_n and_o order_v a_o appearance_n and_o then_o i_o hope_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n have_v

to_o obtain_v my_o end_n in_o that_o i_o prosecute_v he_o malicious_o with_o a_o design_n to_o ruin_v he_o or_o to_o put_v a_o indignity_n upon_o he_o or_o the_o character_n he_o bear_v in_o the_o

though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o i_o have_v a_o conjectural_a cause_n of_o action_n against_o he_o as_o in_o the_o case_n that_o be_v here_o in_o this_o court_n the_o other_o day_n of_o mr._n

another_o time_n this_o irregular_a malicious_a proceed_v will_v bear_v a_o action_n the_o pursue_a malicious_a way_n to_o obtain_v a_o right_n make_v a_o man_n obnoxious_a to_o the_o action_n of_o the_o party_n so_o prosecute_v i_o desire_v to_o express_v myself_o by_o word_n that_o may_v declare_v my_o meaning_n as_o plain_o as_o can_v be_v and_o i_o hope_v i_o do_v so_o then_o gentlemen_z take_v it_o thus_o as_o the_o counsel_n for_o the_o plaintiff_n say_v to_o show_v that_o the_o defendant_n have_v no_o probable_a cause_n of_o action_n against_o the_o plaintiff_n they_o endeavour_v to_o answer_v what_o be_v allege_v on_o the_o other_o side_n as_o their_o probable_a cause_n and_o therefore_o that_o we_o must_v consider_v first_o what_o be_v say_v by_o the_o defendant_n they_o tell_v you_o here_o be_v a_o election_n for_o sheriff_n of_o london_n at_o guild-hall_n where_o those_o person_n that_o they_o have_v nominate_v be_v candidate_n and_o put_v in_o nomination_n for_o

ourselves_o choose_v which_o give_v we_o the_o right_a of_o action_n so_o the_o defendant_n say_v they_o show_v some_o probability_n of_o a_o cause_n of_o action_n and_o if_o he_o have_v not_o pursue_v it_o with_o malice_n but_o in_o a_o regular_a way_n the_o probability_n of_o the_o cause_n do_v take_v off_o from_o the_o malice_n that_o else_o the_o very_a bring_v of_o a_o action_n

no_o action_n will_v lie_v against_o i_o for_o it_o but_o then_o say_v they_o on_o the_o other_o side_n for_o the_o plaintiff_n that_o be_v no_o probable_a cause_n for_o you_o can_v from_o those_o
