the_o king_n and_o the_o proclamation_n do_v signify_v that_o the_o king_n have_v receive_v information_n of_o several_a person_n concern_v in_o that_o conspiracy_n and_o for_o the_o encouragement_n of_o take_v those_o so_o accuse_v he_o do_v promise_v a_o thousand_o pound_n reward_n for_o the_o take_n of_o any_o of_o the_o conspirator_n and_o in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o proclamation_n

rookwood_n the_o prisoner_n at_o the_o bar_n and_o be_v instrumental_a in_o the_o take_n of_o he_o and_o consequent_o upon_o this_o clause_n of_o the_o proclamation_n if_o he_o be_v bring_v to_o

his_o be_v a_o witness_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o where_o it_o be_v at_o the_o king_n suit_n in_o a_o capital_a case_n it_o be_v pretty_a hard_a to_o say_v that_o a_o man_n have_v a_o interest_n but_o we_o think_v as_o this_o case_n be_v circumstantiate_v upon_o this_o proclamation_n that_o the_o same_o objection_n lie_v against_o he_o as_o will_v do_v if_o this_o be_v a_o civil_a cause_n if_o we_o show_v how_o he_o be_v to_o have_v a_o advantage_n by_o the_o event_n of_o this_o cause_n than_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v admit_v a_o witness_n l._n c._n j._n holt._n do_v he_o apprehend_v any_o body_n upon_o the_o proclamation_n sir_n b._n shewer_n yes_o he_o apprehend_v mr._n rookwood_n himself_o or_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o thereby_o be_v entitle_v to_o the_o reward_n and_o his_o pardon_n mr._n phipps_n that_o upon_o which_o we_o ground_n our_o objection_n be_v the_o different_a pen_n of_o the_o proclamation_n for_o if_o any_o one_o that_o be_v not_o a_o conspirator_n do_v but_o discover_v and_o apprehend_v any_o of_o the_o person_n name_v in_o the_o proclamation_n he_o be_v entitle_v to_o the_o thousand_o pound_n but_o the_o conspirator_n themselves_o must_v go_v further_a for_o a_o bare_a discovery_n and_o apprehend_v any_o of_o their_o accomplice_n will_v not_o entitle_v they_o to_o the_o reward_n mention_v in_o the_o proclamation_n but_o they_o must_v discover_v and_o apprehend_v their_o accomplice_n so_o as_o they_o be_v bring_v to_o justice_n before_o they_o can_v be_v entitle_v to_o the_o reward_n and_o to_o be_v bring_v to_o justice_n for_o any_o crime_n be_v in_o common_a understanding_n to_o be_v bring_v to_o such_o punishment_n as_o the_o law_n inflict_v for_o the_o offence_n now_o mr._n harris_n case_n be_v this_o he_o discover_v mr._n rookwood_n and_o go_v with_o the_o guard_n to_o the_o compter_n and_o seize_v he_o and_o if_o mr._n rookwood_n be_v convict_v mr._n harris_n be_v not_o to_o have_v any_o thing_n for_o his_o pain_n but_o if_o he_o be_v convict_v mr._n harris_n be_v entitle_v to_o the_o thousand_o pound_n and_o his_o pardon_n and_o therefore_o sure_o mr._n harris_n can_v be_v admit_v a_o evidence_n against_o mr._n rookwood_n since_o he_o be_v to_o receive_v so_o great_a a_o benefit_n by_o his_o conviction_n upon_o a_o indictment_n for_o a_o usurious_a contract_n the_o person_n who_o deed_n it_o be_v can_v be_v a_o witness_n because_o it_o be_v to_o avoid_v his_o own_o act_n so_o in_o a_o indictment_n for_o perjury_n on_o the_o stat._n 5._o eliz._n the_o party_n injure_v by_o
