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

arraign_v he_o then_o after_o he_o have_v plead_v the_o question_n be_v when_o he_o be_v to_o have_v a_o copy_n of_o the_o panel_n now_o the_o design_n of_o this_o act_n of_o parliament_n be_v that_o the_o prisoner_n shall_v have_v a_o copy_n of_o the_o panel_n 2_o day_n before_o his_o trial_n in_o order_n that_o he_o may_v consider_v of_o the_o person_n that_o be_v to_o try_v he_o that_o he_o

without_o show_v any_o cause_n if_o he_o do_v not_o like_o the_o man_n and_o as_o many_o more_o as_o he_o shall_v think_v he_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o challenge_v now_o in_o this_o case_n the_o whole_a design_n of_o this_o act_n of_o parliament_n be_v answer_v for_o he_o have_v have_v a_o copy_n of_o the_o panel_n as_o you_o yourselves_o acknowledge_v 2_o day_n before_o the_o day_n of_o his_o trial_n so_o that_o he_o have_v the_o full_a benefit_n that_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n intend_v he_o be_v by_o this_o copy_n as_o well_o enable_v to_o make_v his_o challenge_n as_o the_o

of_o parliament_n be_v full_o answer_v and_o comply_v with_o in_o the_o case_n the_o next_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o word_n of_o the_o act_n be_v satisfy_v for_o we_o will_v be_v very_o loath_a in_o a_o case_n of_o this_o nature_n where_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n intend_v a_o favour_n to_o a_o prisoner_n that_o stand_v at_o the_o bar_n for_o his_o life_n to_o abridge_v he_o of_o any_o part_n of_o that_o favour_n which_o the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o act_n will_v allow_v he_o though_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n be_v answer_v otherwise_o now_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v observable_a that_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o prisoner_n shall_v have_v a_o copy_n of_o the_o return_n nor_o do_v it_o say_v he_o shall_v have_v a_o copy_n from_o the_o court_n but_o he_o shall_v have_v a_o copy_n of_o the_o panel_n of_o the_o juror_n due_o return_v that_o be_v to_o try_v he_o now_o if_o the_o sheriff_n array_v his_o panel_n several_a day_n before_o the_o trial_n upon_o the_o venire_fw-la facias_fw-la and_o do_v give_v he_o a_o copy_n of_o that_o very_a panel_n which_o panel_n be_v afterward_o return_v in_o court_n have_v not_o he_o then_o a_o copy_n of_o the_o panel_n due_o returnr_v do_v not_o this_o answer_n all_o the_o word_n of_o the_o act_n for_o you_o youselve_n say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o say_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o act_n that_o the_o copy_n shall_v be_v deliver_v after_o the_o panel_n return_v nor_o do_v their_o need_n a_o copy_n of_o the_o very_a return_n sure_o we_o must_v not_o carry_v it_o far_o than_o the_o word_n if_o the_o meaning_n be_v comply_v with_o and_o we_o think_v this_o answer_n both_o word_n and_o meaning_n it_o be_v a_o copy_n of_o the_o panel_n and_o a_o copy_n of_o that_o panel_n that_o be_v due_o return_v now_o to_o make_v another_o construction_n will_v indeed_o not_o only_o alter_v the_o usual_a course_n of_o trial_n but_o be_v contradictory_n to_o the_o very_a process_n itself_o we_o be_v by_o the_o course_n of_o law_n to_o award_v process_n to_o summon_v a_o jury_n to_o appear_v at_o a_o certain_a time_n to_o try_v the_o issue_n join_v between_o the_o king_n and_o the_o prisoner_n and_o yet_o when_o we_o have_v do_v this_o and_o the_o jury_n thereupon_o be_v summon_v and_o appear_v they_o may_v go_v as_o they_o come_v for_o the_o issue_n can_v be_v try_v because_o after_o the_o return_n the_o prisoner_n must_v have_v a_o copy_n of_o the_o panel_n two_o day_n before_o he_o can_v be_v try_v i_o do_v think_v the_o design_n of_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n and_o the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o act_n be_v full_o satisfy_v in_o give_v a_o copy_n of_o the_o panel_n two_o day_n before_o the_o return_n we_o have_v this_o matter_n under_o our_o consideration_n before_o and_o upon_o debate_n among_o ourselves_o we_o do_v think_v fit_a to_o award_v the_o precept_n returnable_a this_o day_n and_o resolve_v to_o try_v the_o
