aforesaid this present Two and twentieth day of August 〈◊〉 taken upon Suspicion of being a dangerous and ill affected Person to the Government and for refusing to give an account of his business in these Parts and for having Letters of dangerous Consequence about him These are therefore in the Kings Majesties Name to will and require you that upon sight hereof you receive him the said Lawrence Braddon into your Goal and him there safely keep not permitting him to have Pen Ink or Paper or Person to converse or speak with him until you shall receive further Orders from His Majesty and Privy Council Hereof you are not to fail at your peril Given under my Hand and Seal at Bradford this 22th day of August aforesaid Anno Regni Caroli Secundi Angl. c. 35. Anno Dom. 1683. Mr. Braddon told the Justice the Warrant was illegal for should the Goaler never hear from the King and Council he must be kept a perpetual Prisoner Warrants of Committment ought to conclude Till he be discharged by due Course of Law. But the Justice having Mr. Beach and some Attorneys of his own Judgment declared he would justifie the Warrant and under this Warrant Mr. Braddon lay in Wiltshire Goal about a Fortnight and was then removed by Habeas Corpus upon the Statute to be bailed All the Judges being out of Town he was according to the Statute carried before my Lord Keeper North then in Council when Mr. Braddon was first brought before his Lordship my Lord Keeper smil'd thinking he had got such a hank upon Mr. Braddon and his Friends as would ruine both and told Mr. Braddon notwithstanding Self-respect might weigh but little he thought that he would have had such just regard to his Bail as not to have ruin'd them by those things then to be laid to his Charge To which Mr. Braddon answered That the only thing required of his Bail was his Appearance the next Term which he should God willing do and thereby Indemnifie his Bail. No replied my Lord Keeper smiling the Good Behaviour in the mean time was likewise required and that hath been notoriously broken by this new Offence To which it was answered That there was no Good Behaviour at all required and for the Truth thereof Mr. Braddon appealed to the Bonds themselves taken as you have heard before the Secretary of State upon search it appeared his Lordship was in the wrong upon which my Lord Keeper North seemed very Angry with Secretary Jenkins that the Good Behaviour was here omitted but the Secretary said it was the Omission of his Clerk and it was I believe the only Omission of that nature that had happened in those times for the Bonds then taken by the Secretary of State in their Condition concluded And in the mean while to be of the Good Behaviour but in Mr. Braddon's Bond this Clause was intirely left out L. Why could they make that a breach of the Good Behaviour which a man was naturally bound to do for his defence T. Without doubt the then times would have made Mr. Braddon's going into the Country c. to be a Breach of this Clause because they did at his Tryal charge him with it as a Crime and therefore most certainly would have adjudged it Contra bonos more 's and so a Forfeiture of the Bonds Mr. Braddon desired my Lord Keeper that such Persons might be sent for out of the Country as had heard the report of my Lord of Essex having cut his Throat before his Throat was indeed cut Upon which an * M● H ● best 〈◊〉 Brad● reme●bra●●● Eminent Lord then said This is just as it was in the Case of Sir Edmond-Bury Godfry My Lord Keeper demanded of Mr. Braddon Bonds 〈…〉 in 12000 l. himself and his Bail for his Appearance and other Bonds himself and Sureties in the like Sum for his Good Behaviour saying He would have as good men Bound as though he were to lend the Money out of his Pocket These Demands being so very unreasonable Mr. Braddon desired his Lordship that his Lordship would be pleased to consider the Statute upon which he came to be Bailed and that his Lordship would according to the Statute take such Bail as the Quality of the Person and Nature of the Offence required Mr. Braddon did farther declare That he was a Younger Brother his Father living and his Relations and Friends almost two hundred Miles from London To which my Lord Keeper answered That as the Statute required so he did consider his Quality for his Crime was such that had he been an Alderman of London for every 6000 l. he would have demanded 20000 l. so that his Lordship would then have had 80000 l. Bonds in Bail and Suretyship twice as much as ever was given for any Noble-man in England for any Offence whatsoever L. What was this Heinous Offence Is the bringing Murderers to Justice a Reflection on the Government Certainly the Government 's becoming a Skreen to such perfidious Villanies and thus prosecuting and punishing him that would have detected them is a Case without President and so Notorious a Breach of the Rules of all Common Justice that I knew not a more Impudent Bare-fac'd and Villainous Instance T. Mr. Braddon not being able to comply with these high Terms was remanded by my Lord Keeper to Wiltshire Goal but before the next Morning advising with some Lawyers he was told the Good Behaviour could not be required and that Bail to answer the Cause of the then Commitment was all that could be demanded Upon which the next Morning Mr. Braddon desired his Keeper to carry him to my Lord Keeper's House in Great Queen-street for he did hope his Lordship would not continue to insist upon the Good Behaviour which the Statute required not Mr. Braddon was accordingly carried but the Goaler went first to his Lordship and informed my Lord Keeper upon what account he had brought Mr. Braddon once more before his Lordship my Lord then said ☜ he neither had or could demand the Good Behaviour and then sent for Mr. Braddon and declared as before Whereupon Mr. Braddon perceiving his Lordship in a better Humour than the Night before desired his Lordship to accept of such Bail as he could give which with what he was before under by Bonds before the Secretary of State for the same Offence in Effect would amount to 10000 l. my Lord Keeper declared he could not at his House alter what was agreed upon at the Council but the Goaler should bring him down to the Council that Afternoon and if it could be done he should be then Bailed About Eight of the Clock that night Mr. Braddon did accordingly go before the Council where his Lordship was so far from Bailing him upon the Terms by him offered ☜ That his Lordship renewed his Demand of his former Bonds in 12000 l. for the Appearance and 12000 l. more for the Good Behaviour notwithstanding that very Morning
