A25872 The arraignment, tryal, and condemnation of Ambrose Rookwood, for the horrid and execrable conspiracy to assassinate His Sacred Majesty King William, in order to a French invasion of this kingdom who upon full evidence was found guilty of high treason before His Majesty's justices of Oyer and Terminer, at Westminster on Tuesday the 21st of April 1696, and received sentence the day following, and was executed at Tyburn on the 29th day of the said month : in which tryal is contained all the learned arguments of the King's council and likewise the council for the prisoner, upon the new act of Parliament for regulating tryals in cases of treason. Rookwood, Ambrose, 1664-1696, defendant. 1696 (1696) Wing A3755; ESTC R4588 88,215 80

and_o 3._o after_o that_o by_o writ_n of_o error_n now_o this_o clause_n of_o this_o act_n take_v away_o the_o privilege_n of_o move_v in_o arrest_n of_o judgement_n for_o mis-writing_n etc._n etc._n but_o save_v the_o advantage_n upon_o a_o writ_n of_o error_n and_o upon_o a_o motion_n to_o quash_n the_o indictment_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v what_o be_v a_o proper_a time_n for_o a_o motion_n to_o quash_n a_o indictment_n the_o motion_n be_v to_o be_v make_v to_o the_o court_n and_o to_o they_o alone_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v make_v to_o the_o court_n and_o the_o jury_n when_o the_o jury_n be_v swear_v all_o application_n be_v to_o be_v make_v to_o the_o court_n as_o have_v a_o jury_n present_a which_o they_o be_v to_o assist_v in_o the_o trial_n and_o determination_n of_o the_o fact_n only_o what_o use_v then_o be_v there_o of_o the_o jury_n when_o you_o make_v this_o motion_n which_o consist_v only_o in_o point_n of_o law_n they_o must_v stand_v by_o and_o be_v out_o of_o office_n all_o the_o while_n this_o motion_n be_v make_v and_o it_o be_v not_o reasonable_a nor_o certain_o ever_o be_v intend_v that_o after_o a_o jury_n be_v swear_v to_o try_v a_o matter_n of_o fact_n they_o shall_v stand_v idle_a while_o you_o move_v a_o thing_n which_o you_o shall_v have_v move_v before_o they_o come_v to_o the_o bar_n suppose_v you_o shall_v now_o move_v some_o exception_n to_o the_o venire_fw-la and_o the_o return_v thereupon_o shall_v we_o when_o we_o and_o you_o also_o have_v admit_v the_o jury_n to_o be_v swear_v quash_n the_o process_n whereby_o they_o be_v return_v and_o yet_o we_o may_v as_o well_o do_v that_o as_o this_o for_o the_o act_n provide_v in_o the_o very_a same_o word_n concern_v quash_a process_n and_o indictment_n but_o when_o the_o jury_n be_v swear_v and_o ready_a to_o receive_v their_o evidence_n sure_a than_o it_o be_v out_o o●_n all_o season_n to_o make_v such_o a_o motion_n therefore_o i_o do_v not_o think_v the_o parliament_n intend_v by_o this_o clause_n which_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o exception_n to_o the_o favour_n the_o prisoner_n receive_v by_o have_v the_o copy_n of_o the_o indictment_n to_o institute_v a_o new_a method_n of_o proceed_n for_o motion_n to_o quash_n indictment_n even_o when_o a_o jury_n be_v at_o the_o bar_n and_o swear_v to_o try_v the_o issue_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o proper_a to_o be_v proceed_v upon_o but_o only_o to_o hear_v the_o evidence_n produce_v for_o the_o proof_n of_o that_o issue_n till_o the_o jury_n be_v discharge_v but_o still_o this_o i_o will_v say_v this_o be_v a_o new_a case_n and_o upon_o a_o new_a statute_n i_o be_o true_o of_o opinion_n that_o the_o motion_n be_v altogether_o unseasonable_a and_o irregular_a and_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v make_v before_o and_o you_o have_v a_o full_a opportunity_n to_o make_v it_o this_o day_n seven-night_n before_o plea_n plead_v and_o you_o may_v likewise_o to_o day_n before_o the_o jury_n be_v swear_v therefore_o when_o the_o jury_n be_v now_o at_o the_o bar_n actual_o enter_v into_o and_o employ_v upon_o the_o service_n the_o court_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v interrupt_v by_o such_o a_o motion_n yet_o nevertheless_o i_o will_v propound_v this_o that_o see_v it_o be_v a_o new_a case_n and_o upon_o a_o new_a statute_n the_o court_n will_v forgive_v the_o irregularity_n for_o i_o think_v it_o do_v

for_o it_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n and_o the_o time_n limit_v for_o it_o as_o this_o act_n say_v must_v be_v before_o evidence_n give_v because_o it_o may_v well_o be_v think_v unreasonable_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o quash_a of_o the_o indictment_n at_o the_o prisoner_n or_o his_o counsel_n motion_n after_o such_o time_n as_o the_o king_n have_v give_v any_o evidence_n whatsoever_o in_o the_o case_n for_o that_o will_v be_v a_o discovery_n of_o the_o king_n evidence_n and_o great_a inconvenience_n may_v ensue_v thereupon_o but_o the_o question_n be_v at_o what_o time_n this_o be_v to_o be_v do_v whether_o it_o may_v be_v at_o any_o time_n before_o evidence_n give_v or_o no_o it_o be_v intend_v sure_o that_o the_o motion_n to_o quash_n the_o indictment_n and_o take_v exception_n to_o it_o shall_v have_v their_o proper_a time_n as_o well_o as_o effect_v and_o that_o must_v be_v before_o the_o trial_n but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o act_n to_o alter_v the_o

this_o clause_n do_v only_o abridge_v they_o from_o move_v in_o arrest_n of_o judgement_n for_o mis-writing_n mis-spelling_a false_a or_o improper_a latin_a therefore_o if_o your_o lordship_n shall_v
