be_v charge_v upon_o we_o be_v that_o we_o be_v in_o the_o hall_n it_o seem_v and_o because_o there_o be_v this_o noise_n hear_v therefore_o we_o must_v be_v guilty_a in_o this_o crowd_n where_o we_o

as_o sheriff_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n there_o be_v a_o superiority_n due_a to_o the_o lord_n mayor_n another_o thing_n we_o agree_v with_o they_o we_o agree_v it_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n

be_v to_o try_v the_o right_a of_o the_o office_n of_o sheriff_n be_v the_o question_n it_o be_v a_o question_n of_o right_n and_o i_o do_v see_v the_o government_n be_v concern_v one_o way_n or_o

save_o the_o king_n no_o king_n no_o lord_n mayor_n mr._n williams_n my_o lord_n i_o think_v i_o have_v open_v it_o plain_o i_o speak_v before_o a_o great_a many_o people_n i_o desire_v my_o lord_n this_o may_v be_v very_o well_o hear_v i_o think_v i_o have_v say_v very_o well_o from_o all_o these_o noise_n and_o cry_v we_o be_v all_o innocent_a we_o justify_v nothing_o of_o it_o only_o we_o will_v have_v be_v glad_a if_o they_o have_v apprehend_v any_o man_n that_o make_v that_o noise_n it_o have_v be_v a_o very_a happy_a thing_n if_o one_o of_o they_o or_o all_o of_o they_o have_v be_v defendant_n to_o be_v try_v my_o client_n be_v defendant_n they_o be_v innocent_a and_o unconcern_v it_o be_v a_o crime_n commit_v by_o some_o where_o these_o gentleman_n be_v by_o but_o they_o be_v innocent_a we_o hear_v hiss_v at_o other_o end_n of_o the_o room_n it_o be_v a_o ill_a thing_n and_o of_o a_o treasonable_a complexion_n but_o for_o these_o gentleman_n they_o be_v unconcern_v the_o question_n between_o the_o lord_n mayor_n and_o the_o sheriff_n of_o the_o city_n be_v a_o question_n of_o right_n between_o the_o mayor_n and_o sheriff_n whether_o it_o be_v the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o mayor_n or_o the_o right_n of_o the_o sheriff_n and_o i_o say_v under_o correction_n again_o this_o question_n whether_o the_o lord_n mayor_n of_o london_n may_v adjourn_v the_o common-hall_n to_o a_o certain_a day_n be_v a_o question_n of_o right_n whether_o he_o can_v do_v it_o or_o the_o sheriff_n and_o i_o do_v see_v what_o consequence_n it_o can_v have_v upon_o the_o government_n the_o lord_n mayor_n be_v the_o king_n deputy_n the_o sheriff_n they_o be_v the_o king_n officer_n and_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o it_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n mayor_n or_o the_o sheriff_n of_o london_n to_o adjourn_v it_o they_o be_v very_o good_a subject_n i_o be_o sure_a this_o very_a year_n they_o be_v so_o therefore_o i_o wonder_v at_o these_o gentleman_n of_o the_o king_n counsel_n that_o will_v meddle_v with_o the_o government_n and_o say_v the_o government_n be_v concern_v in_o this_o i_o appeal_v to_o any_o man_n if_o there_o be_v any_o more_o concern_v in_o this_o i_o say_v this_o here_o be_v a_o common-hall_n call_v ground_v upon_o custom_n in_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o here_o be_v a_o single_a question_n whether_o these_o sheriff_n do_v any_o more_o than_o

and_o he_o take_v it_o so_o heinous_o at_o my_o hand_n that_o fact_n signify_v nothing_o i_o do_v again_o say_v it_o the_o fact_n signify_v nothing_o for_o i_o tell_v you_o again_o as_o law_n it_o be_v not_o deny_v the_o lord_n mayor_n may_v call_v he_o may_v dissolve_v then_o i_o say_v by_o law_n without_o fact_n by_o custom_n he_o that_o can_v both_o call_v and_o dissolve_v may_v adjourn_v

these_o gentleman_n will_v agree_v it_o be_v never_o practise_v before_o sir_n robert_n clayton_n time_n what_o the_o

to_o it_o be_v a_o unlawful_a thing_n pray_v gentleman_n if_o ten_o man_n shall_v go_v to_o rob_v a_o house_n and_o one_o stand_v off_o at_o a_o distance_n be_v not_o the_o ten_o man_n guilty_a of_o

be_v not_o all_o these_o gentleman_n guilty_a and_o therefore_o gentleman_n it_o be_v hope_v you_o will_v settle_v the_o city_n by_o destroy_v this_o pretence_n which_o have_v be_v flutter_v in_o

there_o be_v a_o common-hall_n that_o be_v call_v by_o the_o lord_n mayor_n for_o choose_v several_a officer_n and_o that_o afterward_o the_o lord_n mayor_n do_v dissolve_v that_o assembly_n and_o

riot_n it_o be_v say_v so_o particular_o in_o the_o information_n for_o the_o matter_n in_o fact_n that_o have_v be_v altercate_v between_o they_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o lord_n mayor_n for_o the_o time_n be_v have_v power_n in_o himself_o to_o call_v a_o assembly_n and_o to_o dissolve_v it_o and_o true_o as_o to_o this_o point_n even_o the_o council_n for_o the_o defendant_n do_v one_o while_o grant_v it_o but_o another_o while_o do_v bring_v witness_n that_o do_v know_v nothing_o of_o the_o matter_n i_o must_v needs_o say_v but_o for_o aught_o i_o see_v even_o until_o this_o very_a time_n the_o lord_n mayor_n do_v call_v the_o assembly_n and_o he_o do_v dissolve_v it_o and_o that_o they_o do_v seem_v to_o grant_v even_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o cause_n but_o then_o they_o make_v a_o distinction_n but_o he_o can_v not_o adjourn_v it_o to_o a_o certain_a time_n that_o be_v a_o very_a weak_a thing_n to_o say_v that_o if_o the_o lord_n mayor_n may_v call_v and_o dissolve_v the_o hall_n that_o he_o can_v adjourn_v it_o to_o a_o convenient_a hour_n suppose_v now_o the_o business_n to_o be_v do_v be_v not_o dispatch_v soon_o than_o this_o time_n a_o night_n so_o that_o upon_o the_o matter_n they_o must_v be_v either_o adjourn_v till_o to_o morrow_n or_o keep_v in_o the_o hall_n all_o night_n do_v any_o man_n think_v that_o that_o magistrate_n that_o have_v power_n to_o call_v and_o dissolve_v have_v not_o power_n to_o adjourn_v there_o be_v no_o man_n doubt_n of_o it_o in_o fact_n or_o law_n and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o sir_n robert_n clayton_n do_v that_o very_a thing_n if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o precedent_n it_o have_v be_v all_o one_o but_o they_o make_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o business_n of_o it_o how_o that_o the_o sheriff_n be_v the_o

lord_n pray_v gentleman_n that_o be_v a_o very_a undecent_a thing_n you_o put_v a_o indignity_n upon_o the_o king_n for_o you_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v it_o if_o you_o know_v your_o duty_n pray_v

may_v have_v be_v in_o the_o livery-man_n all_o people_n every_o body_n and_o so_o then_o if_o they_o have_v be_v together_o by_o the_o ear_n i_o do_v know_v who_o must_v have_v part_v they_o that_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o but_o i_o think_v their_o own_o council_n be_v very_o well_o satisfy_v both_o in_o fact_n and_o law_n that_o the_o lord_n mayor_n for_o the_o time_n be_v have_v this_o

riot_n to_o give_v you_o some_o satisfaction_n in_o that_o first_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o a_o man_n must_v not_o excuse_v himself_o of_o a_o crime_n by_o say_v he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o law_n for_o if_o so_o be_v that_o turn_n to_o a_o excuse_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o convict_v any_o man_n if_o so_o be_v he_o must_v be_v excuse_v because_o he_o do_v not_o know_v the_o law_n than_o no_o man_n will_v be_v find_v guilty_a but_o if_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o defendant_n do_v very_o believe_v that_o the_o law_n be_v for_o they_o that_o may_v be_v consider_v in_o another_o

you_o must_v consider_v whether_o or_o no_o these_o gentleman_n be_v ignorant_a or_o whether_o or_o no_o they_o do_v not_o in_o a_o tumultuary_a way_n make_v a_o riot_n to_o set_v up_o a_o
