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 without_o any_o probable_a cause_n and_o out_o of_o malice_n now_o as_o to_o that_o gentlemen_z i_o conceive_v and_o think_v i_o may_v appeal_v to_o my_o lord_n chief_a justice_n in_o it_o for_o

by_o he_o then_o they_o allege_v that_o this_o particular_a action_n and_o arrest_n thereupon_o be_v prosecute_v and_o do_v out_o of_o malice_n and_o without_o probable_a cause_n now_o what_o have_v they_o prove_v of_o that_o they_o prove_v the_o thing_n do_v that_o he_o be_v arrest_v at_o the_o defendant_n suit_n and_o that_o he_o be_v keep_v in_o custody_n six_o hour_n but_o if_o we_o can_v give_v you_o any_o account_n of_o a_o probable_a cause_n for_o it_o that_o be_v sufficient_a to_o justify_v as_o from_o this_o action_n gentleman_n the_o question_n that_o you_o be_v to_o try_v be_v not_o whether_o this_o man_n or_o that_o man_n be_v due_o choose_v into_o such_o a_o office_n but_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o probable_a cause_n for_o the_o defendant_n to_o contest_v about_o the_o

it_o and_o if_o there_o be_v but_o a_o probable_a cause_n to_o bring_v this_o to_o a_o question_n no_o doubt_n he_o may_v very_o well_o take_v the_o course_n the_o defendant_n take_v here_o be_v no_o

then_o here_o be_v the_o case_n in_o short_a a_o man_n think_v himself_o right_o and_o due_o choose_v into_o a_o office_n and_o have_v probable_a reason_n so_o to_o think_v for_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o election_n think_v so_o too_o and_o deliver_v that_o as_o their_o opinion_n so_o that_o though_o he_o be_v mistake_v as_o the_o event_n prove_v yet_o he_o be_v not_o alone_o in_o his_o mistake_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
