A41804	An appeal of murther from certain unjust judges, lately sitting at the Old Baily to the righteous judge of heaven and earth; and to all sensible English-men, containing a relation of the tryal, behaviour, and death of Mr. William Anderton, executed June 16. 1693. at Tyburn, for pretended high treason.

of_o the_o jury_n who_o be_v a_o man_n well_o affect_v to_o the_o government_n but_o withal_o a_o sensible_a man_n not_o malicious_a and_o desirous_a that_o all_o man_n may_v have_v fair_a play_n

to_o life_n now_o this_o question_n be_v very_o pertinent_a for_o all_o that_o be_v prove_v against_o the_o prisoner_n be_v that_o such_o thing_n be_v find_v there_o and_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o that_o though_o the_o thing_n be_v call_v in_o question_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o prove_v that_o the_o room_n where_o the_o thing_n be_v find_v do_v belong_v to_o he_o and_o there_o

and_o pout_v treby_n arise_v and_o answer_v no._n in_o which_o answer_n he_o plain_o acknowledge_v that_o all_o that_o be_v offer_v in_o proof_n against_o the_o prisoner_n do_v not_o affect_v he_o but_o then_o he_o further_o say_v that_o be_v not_o their_o business_n they_o be_v to_o find_v it_o print_v and_o that_o be_v a_o sufficient_a overt-act_n but_o than_o be_v print_v treason_n if_o so_o
