i_o know_v your_o lordship_n will_v be_v careful_a not_o to_o vary_v from_o the_o ancient_a practice_n or_o to_o make_v a_o new_a precedent_n because_o of_o the_o consequence_n it_o must_v be_v agree_v in_o this_o case_n that_o the_o old_a panel_n upon_o which_o the_o prisoner_n take_v his_o challenge_n and_o of_o which_o nine_o be_v swear_v be_v parcel_v of_o the_o record_n now_o my_o

not_o this_o be_v error_n i_o offer_v this_o before_o the_o jury_n be_v call_v and_o swear_v because_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v fair_o try_v and_o we_o design_v to_o rest_v upon_o the_o fact_n in_o this_o case_n if_o it_o shall_v appear_v that_o he_o be_v try_v upon_o a_o panel_n that_o be_v undue_o make_v and_o return_v that_o will_v be_v of_o evil_a consequence_n one_o way_n or_o other_o and_o can_v this_o be_v due_o make_v if_o another_o appear_v upon_o record_n before_o it_o and_o can_v any_o body_n say_v it_o be_v quash_v or_o abate_v or_o can_v it_o be_v so_o my_o lord_n in_o stamford_n plea_n of_o the_o crown_n p._n 155._o it_o be_v say_v if_o any_o of_o the_o panel_n die_v after_o the_o return_n and_o before_o their_o appearance_n so_o that_o there_o be_v not_o enough_o leave_v to_o make_v the_o jury_n yet_o the_o panel_n shall_v not_o be_v quash_v nor_o be_v it_o abate_v but_o it_o be_v cause_n to_o grant_v a_o tale_n and_o certain_o my_o lord_n it_o be_v a_o strong_a case_n when_o by_o reason_n of_o challenge_n which_o the_o law_n give_v the_o prisoner_n liberty_n to_o make_v there_o be_v not_o enough_o leave_v that_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o new_a panel_n

to_o consider_v the_o intention_n of_o the_o law_n in_o give_v the_o prisoner_n power_n to_o challenge_n be_v that_o he_o may_v have_v a_o indifferent_a jury_n but_o that_o will_v be_v prevent_v by_o
