have_v you_o do_v gentleman_n or_o will_v you_o call_v any_o more_o witness_n mr._n at._n gen._n we_o rest_v it_o here_o my_o lord_n till_o we_o hear_v what_o they_o say_v to_o it_o l._n ch._n just_a

by_o far_a than_o indeed_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o but_o i_o suppose_v you_o who_o be_v upon_o your_o oath_n to_o try_v this_o issue_n will_v due_o weigh_v and_o consider_v what_o it_o real_o be_v gentleman_n the_o record_n tell_v you_o what_o it_o be_v a_o action_n upon_o the_o case_n wherein_o the_o plaintiff_n declare_v that_o the_o defendant_n do_v arrest_v he_o be_v then_o lord_n mayor_n

nor_o without_o ground_n of_o his_o apprehension_n then_o if_o it_o be_v under_o favour_n such_o a_o man_n have_v no_o other_o proceed_n to_o take_v in_o the_o world_n for_o settle_v this_o matter_n but_o to_o appeal_v to_o your_o lordship_n and_o that_o great_a court_n where_o your_o lordship_n sit_v to_o have_v a_o writ_n to_o command_v the_o mayor_n or_o other_o proper_a officer_n to_o swear_v

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

case_n will_v depend_v upon_o this_o point_n chief_o whether_o the_o now_o defendant_n have_v a_o reasonable_a cause_n or_o probable_a ground_n to_o bring_v a_o action_n against_o the_o plaintiff_n 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 now_o consider_v whether_o that_o probable_a cause_n do_v continue_v and_o prove_v a_o good_a cause_n the_o event_n of_o this_o matter_n have_v prove_v it_o quite_o otherwise_o indeed_o the_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

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
