such_o a_o challenge_n now_o here_o be_v my_o lord_n and_o brother_n will_v be_v please_v to_o deliver_v their_o opinion_n it_o be_v a_o business_n of_o great_a consequence_n not_o only_o for_o this_o noble_a person_n at_o the_o bar_n but_o for_o all_o other_o person_n l._n ch._n bar._n i_o agree_v with_o your_o lordship_n perfect_o but_o if_o the_o counsel_n have_v lay_v a_o right_a foundation_n that_o it_o have_v be_v so_o at_o common_a law_n there_o have_v be_v much_o say_v but_o i_o take_v it_o at_o common_a law_n there_o be_v no_o challenge_n for_o want_v of_o freehold_n and_o i_o be_o induce_v to_o think_v so_o for_o otherwise_o what_o need_v the_o statute_n of_o h._n 5._o be_v make_v but_o whether_o it_o extend_v to_o treason_n or_o no_o i_o be_o not_o so_o clear_a and_o if_o it_o do_v it_o be_v wipe_v off_o again_o by_o that_o of_o q_o mary_n which_o reduce_v all_o to_o the_o common_a law_n trial._n mr._n just_o wyndham_n i_o be_o of_o the_o same_o opinion_n i_o conceive_v at_o common_a law_n lack_v of_o freehold_n no_o good_a cause_n of_o challenge_n it_o be_v true_a that_o challenge_n be_v give_v in_o some_o case_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n yet_o i_o doubt_v whether_o it_o extend_v to_o a_o thing_n of_o so_o high_a nature_n as_o treason_n for_o other_o statute_n have_v not_o mention_v any_o thing_n of_o treason_n but_o suppose_v 2_o h._n 5._o do_v extend_v to_o it_o yet_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a the_o statute_n of_o 1._o &_o 2._o q._n mary_n have_v set_v all_o at_o large_a again_o they_o be_v to_o be_v good_a and_o lawful_a man_n and_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o any_o thing_n of_o the_o lawfulness_n must_v be_v the_o freehold_a and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v this_o be_v no_o just_a exception_n in_o this_o case_n mr._n just_o jones_n my_o lord_n i_o be_o of_o the_o same_o opinion_n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o the_o common_a law_n do_v not_o require_v freehold_a to_o be_v a_o good_a cause_n of_o challenge_n in_o the_o case_n of_o treason_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o at_o the_o common_a law_n a_o man_n that_o be_v indict_v of_o high_a treason_n have_v liberty_n to_o challenge_n peremptory_o to_o the_o number_n of_o 35_o person_n my_o lord_n if_o the_o common_a law_n be_v alter_v by_o the_o stat._n of_o h._n 5._o yet_o i_o take_v it_o that_o the_o statute_n of_o 1_o &_o 2_o ph._n &_o m._n do_v restore_v the_o common_a law_n in_o this_o particular_a point_n for_o whereas_o there_o be_v a_o stat._n of_o h._n 8._o to_o restrain_v the_o prisoner_n to_o the_o number_n of_o 20_o for_o his_o challenge_n now_o the_o statute_n restore_v it_o to_o common_a law_n the_o prisoner_n have_v his_o challenge_n to_o 35_o as_o he_o have_v before_o that_o stat._n of_o h._n 8._o so_o i_o take_v it_o the_o king_n shall_v have_v his_o privilege_n also_o to_o try_v a_o prisoner_n for_o treason_n by_o person_n that_o have_v not_o freehold_a mr._n just_o charleton_n i_o be_o of_o the_o same_o opinion_n and_o true_o the_o rather_o because_o no_o precedent_n have_v be_v offer_v of_o any_o such_o challenge_n before_o and_o many_o man_n have_v suffer_v and_o sure_a if_o it_o can_v have_v be_v many_o will_v have_v make_v use_n of_o it_o mr._n just_o levins_n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v allow_v i_o do_v not_o think_v myself_o drive_v to_o the_o necessity_n to_o determine_v now_o whether_o freehold_n be_v a_o good_a challenge_n at_o common_a law_n in_o point_n of_o treason_n i_o think_v the_o statute_n of_o ph._n and_o m._n have_v restore_v the_o trial_n to_o the_o common_a law_n what_o be_v the_o common_a law_n the_o common_a law_n be_v the_o custom_n of_o england_n which_o be_v other_o in_o city_n than_o in_o country_n and_o the_o custom_n of_o london_n be_v part_n of_o that_o common_a law_n so_o though_o it_o be_v a_o cause_n of_o challenge_n in_o a_o county_n at_o large_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o a_o cause_n of_o challenge_n in_o city_n where_o freeholder_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v now_o that_o which_o satisfy_v i_o be_v that_o this_o custom_n be_v restore_v by_o the_o statute_n of_o ph._n and_o m._n because_o never_o such_o a_o challenge_n have_v be_v and_o it_o be_v know_v when_o 20_o be_v try_v for_o treason_n together_o in_o this_o very_a place_n and_o one_o of_o they_o a_o notable_a cunning_a lawyer_n and_o if_o such_o a_o challenge_n be_v to_o have_v be_v allow_v no_o doubt_n he_o will_v have_v make_v use_n of_o it_o but_o the_o challenge_n be_v not_o take_v and_o if_o he_o have_v make_v such_o a_o challenge_n and_o it_o have_v be_v allow_v perhaps_o he_o can_v not_o have_v be_v try_v that_o be_v cook_n i_o have_v hear_v several_a person_n try_v for_o treason_n myself_o and_o never_o hear_v it_o take_v therefore_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o before_o any_o statute_n be_v make_v in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v the_o custom_n in_o london_n to_o try_v without_o freehold_n and_o since_o by_o the_o statute_n of_o q._n marry_o it_o be_v restore_v mr._n baron_n street_n i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o such_o challenge_n at_o common_a law_n the_o jury_n be_v only_o to_o be_v probos_fw-la &_o legales_fw-la homines_fw-la and_o no_o more_o till_o the_o statute_n make_v it_o so_o but_o there_o be_v a_o particular_a reservation_n for_o corporation_n and_o certain_o if_o this_o shall_v be_v admit_v to_o be_v a_o good_a challenge_n though_o it_o be_v between_o party_n and_o party_n there_o will_v be_v in_o some_o corporation_n a_o perfect_a failure_n of_o justice_n so_o that_o without_o doubt_n at_o common_a law_n there_o be_v no_o such_o challenge_n as_o for_o the_o statute_n of_o h._n 5._o it_o be_v go_v by_o that_o of_o q_o mary_n if_o this_o be_v admit_v within_o london_n nothing_o will_v be_v more_o mischievous_a to_o this_o corporation_n methinks_v we_o have_v be_v very_o nice_a in_o this_o matter_n when_o the_o life_n of_o the_o king_n be_v at_o stake_n and_o all_o the_o custom_n and_o privilege_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n seem_v to_o be_v level_v at_o in_o this_o point_n i_o be_o of_o the_o opinion_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o judge_n that_o this_o challenge_v aught_o to_o be_v overrule_v mr._n justice_n within_o i_o be_o of_o the_o same_o opinion_n l._n c._n just_o my_o lord_n the_o court_n be_v of_o opinion_n upon_o hear_v your_o counsel_n and_o the_o king_n that_o it_o be_v no_o good_a challenge_n to_o a_o jury_n in_o a_o case_n of_o treason_n that_o he_o have_v not_o freehold_a within_o the_o city_n but_o i_o must_v tell_v your_o lordship_n withal_o that_o your_o lordship_n have_v nothing_o of_o hardship_n in_o this_o case_n for_o notwithstanding_o that_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o you_o will_v have_v as_o good_a a_o jury_n and_o better_a than_o you_o shall_v have_v have_v in_o a_o country_n of_o 4_o l._n or_o 40_o s._n a_o year_n freeholder_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o law_n for_o freehold_n be_v that_o no_o slight_a person_n shall_v be_v put_v upon_o a_o jury_n where_o the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n or_o his_o estate_n come_v in_o question_n but_o in_o the_o city_n the_o person_n that_o be_v impanel_v be_v man_n of_o quality_n and_o substance_n man_n that_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n to_o lose_v and_o therefore_o your_o lordship_n have_v the_o same_o in_o substance_n as_o if_o a_o challenge_n be_v allow_v of_o freehold_n it_o will_v be_v no_o kind_n of_o prejudice_n to_o your_o lordship_n in_o this_o case_n therefore_o if_o you_o please_v apply_v yourself_o as_o the_o jury_n be_v call_v and_o make_v your_o exception_n if_o you_o shall_v make_v any_o l._n c._n j._n mr._n pollexfen_n you_o shall_v have_v liberty_n to_o stay_v any_o where_o here_o if_o you_o please_v counsel_n here_o be_v such_o a_o great_a crowd_n my_o lord_n we_o have_v no_o room_n then_o the_o juryman_n be_v call_v and_o after_o the_o lord_n russel_n have_v challenge_v one_o and_o thirty_o of_o they_o the_o jury_n swear_v be_v as_o follow_v john_n martin_n william_n rouse_v jervas_n
