for_o those_o reason_n they_o may_v be_v challenge_v but_o what_o be_v here_o here_o you_o tell_v a_o long_a process_n concern_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o mayor_n and_o the_o sheriff_n and_o

that_o hold_v land_n in_o capite_fw-la of_o the_o king_n can_v be_v challenge_v for_o all_o that_o mr._n thomson_n i_o think_v my_o lord_n this_o be_v a_o common_a case_n in_o our_o book_n that_o if_o in_o case_n a_o sheriff_n be_v concern_v in_o point_n of_o title_n this_o be_v a_o principal_a challenge_n because_o that_o he_o be_v interest_v in_o that_o title_n he_o be_v no_o person_n by_o law_n to_o return_v a_o jury_n i_o do_v doubt_v but_o your_o lordship_n will_v do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a and_o according_a to_o law_n my_o lord_n i_o say_v where_o a_o sheriff_n be_v interest_v in_o

a_o lawful_a adjournment_n by_o sir_n john_n moor_n this_o be_v not_o a_o lawful_a return_n gentleman_n my_o lord_n i_o know_v will_v hear_v i_o if_o you_o have_v but_o patience_n i_o always_o speak_v and_o stand_v up_o for_o my_o client_n as_o i_o ought_v to_o do_v if_o you_o please_v to_o let_v i_o have_v your_o liberty_n i_o have_v my_o lord_n if_o a_o sheriff_n be_v concern_v in_o point_n of_o title_n it_o be_v a_o principal_a challenge_n and_o the_o sheriff_n ought_v not_o to_o return_v the_o jury_n but_o the_o coroner_n and_o my_o lord_n much_o more_o

to_o it_o be_v a_o unlawful_a thing_n pray_v gentleman_n if_o ten_o man_n shall_v go_v to_o rob_v a_o house_n and_o one_o stand_v off_o at_o a_o distance_n be_v not_o the_o ten_o man_n guilty_a of_o

for_o the_o time_n be_v have_v power_n in_o himself_o to_o call_v a_o assembly_n and_o to_o dissolve_v it_o and_o true_o as_o to_o this_o point_n even_o the_o council_n for_o the_o defendant_n do_v one_o while_o grant_v it_o but_o another_o while_o do_v bring_v witness_n that_o do_v know_v nothing_o of_o the_o matter_n i_o must_v needs_o say_v but_o for_o aught_o i_o see_v even_o until_o this_o very_a time_n the_o lord_n mayor_n do_v call_v the_o assembly_n and_o he_o do_v dissolve_v it_o and_o that_o they_o do_v seem_v to_o grant_v even_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o cause_n but_o then_o they_o make_v a_o distinction_n but_o he_o can_v not_o adjourn_v it_o to_o a_o certain_a time_n that_o be_v a_o very_a weak_a thing_n to_o say_v that_o if_o the_o lord_n mayor_n may_v call_v and_o dissolve_v the_o hall_n that_o he_o can_v adjourn_v it_o to_o a_o convenient_a hour_n suppose_v now_o the_o business_n to_o be_v do_v be_v not_o dispatch_v soon_o than_o this_o time_n a_o night_n so_o that_o upon_o the_o matter_n they_o must_v be_v either_o adjourn_v till_o to_o morrow_n or_o keep_v in_o the_o hall_n all_o night_n do_v any_o man_n think_v that_o that_o magistrate_n that_o have_v power_n to_o call_v and_o dissolve_v have_v not_o power_n to_o adjourn_v there_o be_v no_o man_n doubt_n of_o it_o in_o fact_n or_o law_n and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o sir_n robert_n clayton_n do_v that_o very_a thing_n if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o precedent_n it_o have_v be_v all_o one_o but_o they_o make_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o business_n of_o it_o how_o that_o the_o sheriff_n be_v the_o man_n and_o that_o the_o lord_n mayor_n be_v no_o body_n and_o that_o show_v it_o be_v somewhat_o of_o the_o commonwealth_n seed_n that_o be_v like_a to_o grow_v up_o among_o the_o good_a corn._n lord_n pray_v gentleman_n that_o be_v a_o very_a undecent_a thing_n you_o put_v a_o indignity_n upon_o the_o king_n for_o you_o ought_v not_o to_o do_v it_o if_o you_o know_v your_o duty_n pray_v gentleman_n forbear_v it_o it_o do_v not_o become_v a_o court_n of_o justice_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o when_o thing_n be_v topsie-turvie_a i_o can_v tell_v what_o be_v do_v and_o i_o will_v be_v

may_v have_v be_v in_o the_o livery-man_n all_o people_n every_o body_n and_o so_o then_o if_o they_o have_v be_v together_o by_o the_o ear_n i_o do_v know_v who_o must_v have_v part_v they_o that_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o but_o i_o think_v their_o own_o council_n be_v very_o well_o satisfy_v both_o in_o fact_n and_o law_n that_o the_o lord_n mayor_n for_o the_o time_n be_v have_v this_o power_n of_o call_v and_o dissolve_v and_o adjourn_v the_o assembly_n then_o there_o be_v another_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v and_o that_o be_v this_o the_o defendant_n they_o say_v we_o do_v mistake_v the_o law_n it_o be_v only_o a_o mistake_n of_o the_o law_n and_o nothing_o else_o and_o we_o do_v do_v all_o to_o a_o good_a intent_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v not_o be_v a_o riot_n to_o give_v you_o some_o satisfaction_n in_o that_o first_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o a_o man_n must_v not_o excuse_v himself_o of_o a_o crime_n by_o say_v he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o law_n for_o if_o so_o be_v that_o turn_n to_o a_o excuse_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o convict_v any_o man_n if_o so_o be_v he_o must_v be_v excuse_v because_o he_o do_v not_o know_v the_o law_n than_o no_o man_n will_v be_v find_v guilty_a but_o if_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o defendant_n do_v very_o believe_v that_o the_o law_n be_v for_o they_o that_o may_v be_v consider_v in_o another_o

you_o must_v consider_v whether_o or_o no_o these_o gentleman_n be_v ignorant_a or_o whether_o or_o no_o they_o do_v not_o in_o a_o tumultuary_a way_n make_v a_o riot_n to_o set_v up_o a_o
