OCTAVO THIS Day the Justices of Oyer and Terminer holden for the County of Middlesex adjourned over to Seven this Morning met and the Court was Resum'd by Proclamation in usual Form Clerk of the Arraignments Keeper of Newgate set Robert Lowick to the Bar which was done You the Prisoner at the Bar Robert Lowick those Men that you shall hear called and personally appear are to pass between our Sovereign Lord the King and You upon Tryal of your Life and Death if therefore you will Challenge them or any of them your time is to speak unto them as they come to the Book to be Sworn and before they be Sworn Mr. Mompesson If your Lordship pleases to favour me with one Word for the Prisonor at the Bar I shall not trouble your Lordship with any thing that was urged by the Gentlemen that were of Council Yesterday but I shall Rely upon something that has not yet been spoken to My Lord they have not laid any Time or Place where the Consent or Agreement was for the Forty Men that were to set upon the King and his Guards There is a Time laid before where they met and discoursed of the Ways and Means how to Assassinate and Kill the King but when it comes to the Assencerant Concesserunt Aggreaverunt with Submission this being another Act there ought to be another Time and Place laid and for that I shall Cite your Lordship two or three Cases for Men may meet and Propose and Discourse and Consult of such Things though they be very Ill Things and yet that may not be Treason It 's the Agreement that is the Treason and so 't was held in Captain Blagues Case about Taking the Tower They may meet at one Time and Place and at another Time and Place they may agree in Dyer 68. B. and 69 Pl. 28. a Man was Indicted for Murder that he at such a Place in and upon the Person that was Murdered in Sultumferit ipsum the Person that was Murdered cum Quodam Curtello of such a Price percussit and he does not shew the place where he struck him nor had the Indictment the Words ad tunc Ibidem and therefore the Court held it void So it is likewise Ruled in Goodrick's Case H●ll 35. 119. and therefore in Indictments for Murder since they generally set forth not only the Time and Place of the Assault but likewise of the Blow so likewise in things of a more inferiour Nature as Rescues Returned by the Sheriff that the Capias was served but does not shew where the Rescue was or though he shews where the Arrest was and an Coupled the Rescue to it yet it was adjudged and Ill Return Dyer 69.

Rescuserunt without ad tunc Ibidem Referred only to the Vulneraverunt and not to the Rescuserunt and therefore the Return was adjudged Insufficient for my Lord although in Conveyances a Clause or Word in the beginning or end may Refer to the whole yet in Indictments every Sentence must be Certain Plain and Express and have its own Time and Place Therefore in Noy's Rep. 122. Raymond was Indicted for stopping a Cross Way leading from a certain Ville called Stoake into a Ville called Melton in the County of Dorset and the Indictment was Quasht because in the County of Dorset shall refer only to Melton and not to both So an Indictment of Forceable Entry into a Messuage existent Liberum Tenementum of J.
