Subjects are concerned in it That upon the 17 th of December last I was tryed upon the same Indictment the Jury was impannell'd and called I put my self into the hands of the Jury and the Evidence was brought in and examin'd particularly against me and was found insufficient so that the Jury was dismissed without any Verdict I humbly submit my self to your Lordships and this noble Court whether I may not have Counsel in this point of Law to advise me whether I may and ought to plead again the second time for according to Law I am informed no man can be put in jeopardy of his Life the second time for the same cause Lord Ch.

My Lord we pray we may have the favour that they may be sworn Lord Chief Just North. By law they cannot L. C. J. N. In no Capital case against the King can the witnesses for the Prisoner be sworn but I will say this to the Jury That they are not sworn is because they cannot but the Jury is to take great heed of what they say and to be governed by it according to the credibility of the person and of the matter Gavan My Lord if you please to give me leave my Lord Coke in his Institutes sayes expresly That there is no positive Law against it his words are there is not so much as scintilla Juris against it L. C. J. No. We know that the constant usage and practice is so and you cannot produce any man that in any Capital case had his witnesses sworn against the King L. C. J. My Lord Coke says otherwise That the evidence should be so plain that nothing could be answered to it and therefore no evidence should be sworn against the King Gavan My Lord those are the words of my Lord Coo. L. C. J. You argue against the known practice of all Ages L C. J. No. There never was any man in a Capital cause sworn against the King The common Law is the custome of the Kingdom and we are bound to know it and must all be governed by it Whitebread In mr Ireland's Tryal pag 35 36. he says he came over with Sir John Warner Father Williams and mr Hilsley from St. Omers Mr. J. Pem. Nay you must not resort to the printed Tryals for evidence Fenwick If we can prove him perjured at any time I hope we may L. C. J.

My Lord he 〈…〉 m that he came over with these persons in which he is for swrrn L. C. J. He is not convicted of perjury and therefore that must not be urged Fen My Lord we will prove by witnesses that were at the Tryal that he did affirm so And I do desire now to know ●f you M●●● whether ever you came over with mr Helsly Dr. Oates That which I said then and that which I say now is because you should not puzzle your selves that one Mr. Hilsly did come over with us when we did Hilsly My Lord I did not L C J How can you tell Hilsly I left him at St Omers L.

C. J. That would be a hard question to put to him to make him accuse himself It would bring him into danger of Treason Mr. J. Pemberton He is a Boy very fit to make a Jesuit of L. C. J. How could he then come to know this Hilsly I confess 't is true that Mr. Oates did never come over with me And I have Witnesses to prove that they saw him there next day at St. Omers and two or three several weeks after Sir Christopher Levins Mr. Oates hath another Circumstance to prove it by Dr. Oates He went away from us by the way and did not come up with us to London Hilsly I know how he understood ●his There was a Gentleman that the Witnesses will prove he was very familiar with the 2d of May that told him L.
