Gen. Call Sir William Jennings Mr. Att. Gen. Truly my Lord I think we need call no more though we have multitudes of them it is his daily Discourse Lord Chief Justice Call whom you will Mr. Attorney for though it be the last day of the Term and it is an unusual thing to have a Jury at the Bar on that day and more unusual to have them to execute a Writ of Enquiry here yet in regard of the Greatness of the Person that is concerned and the extraordinary Nature of the Cause We have ordered it thus That all the World may see how his ROYAL HIGHNESS has been abused and scandalized by this Person Mr. Att. Gen. The Defendant my Lord has been a person pretty much talk'd of too Lord Chief Justice Yes truly it is done with regard to him too for he has been an eminent Man in his Way Mr. Sol. Gen.
