Ch. Just Keating's Charge to the Grand-Jury GEntlemen You that are here Returned to Serve on this Grand-Jury you have this day before your Eyes the greatest Example and the firmest Proof that a Gracious Prince can give to the best of Subjects you see his Sacred Majesty King James the Second whom God long preserve for the Protection of all his good and dutiful Subjects and for the subversion and irradicating of all those who desire the Subversion of his Government either by Foreign Force or inbred Conspiracy notwithstanding the great Troubles on his own Person yet he is not wanting in his care towards you and I dare boldly say it is the last thing he will relinquish in the World after that of his own Conscience the care of his Subjects He hath sent us with his Commission

Enemies this Gentlemen is Treason To hold Correspondence with any of the Kings Enemies or with Rebels in actual Rebellion or to joyn with them this is Treason you are not to enquire into the punishment but to open a door for the Petty Jury to enquire into the matter of Fact and what the Law is shall by the blessing of God be our business To Counterfeit the Kings Coyn or Clip it and you have very little of it at this time therefore you had need be careful in a more especial manner this likewise is Treason It is likewise Treason to counterfeit the Great Seal of the King for 't is the common Security by which many hold their Estates and some their Lives The killing of the Chancellor or any of the Judges or Justices of Oyer and Terminer in the doing of their Duty this likewise is Treason not so much with regard to their persons as to the work that they are about they representing the Kings Person The meanest Constable there if he has his Staff in his hand and doing his duty he that kills him shall dye the same death as he that kills the best man that wears Scarlet on the Bench. Gentlemen I must tell you another C●ime and it looks like a mark of Infamy on this Kingdom Murder in England is but Felony but it has been thought fit to make it Treason here and they that go out on Burning and Robbing Houses they shall be Indicted for Treason And Clerk of the Crown if any such be here now take notice I will have them Indicted for Treason The next thing for your Enquiry is Felony that concerning the Life of the Subject for a man to kill his fellow Subject this is Felony if he does it on a sudden passion and heat a man may kill another in his own defence for 't is natural for a man to kill rather than be killed and therefore he shall have his Pardon of course But Gentlemen this is not in favour of Duels and only where there is a great provocation there is not a man but has some passion about him but for a man to go to bed with Malice and arise the next morning and go meet his fellow Subject and kill him this is Murder and Treason in Ireland The next thing that is Felony is concerning the Goods of the Subject for an honest Labouring Man that by the industry of his whole Life has gotten a fair stock for the maintenance of himself his Wife and Children at night goes to bed and next morning when he arises he is a beggar and wants Bread. Gentlemen it would make every honest mans heart bleed to hear what I have heard since I came into this County it is ill in other parts of the Countrey but here they spare not even the wearing Clothes and Habit of Women and Children that they are forced to come abroad naked without any thing to cover their nakedness so that besides the Oath you have taken and the obligation of Christianity that lies upon you as you are Christians I conjure you by all that is Sacred and as ever you expect Eternal Salvation that you make diligent Enquiry let it never be said by any of you that it was your Neighbour or your Neighbours Servant did it and you are sorry for it but will not trouble your selves I tell you it is every mans business and I beseech you look into it To break into any mans House after night fall is Felony it is a sound sleep that the Labouring man takes but the idle Rogue that lies lurking sleeping all the day at night he arises and seeks whom he may devour If you were to do the most Charitable Work as building of a Bridge or Chappel or mending a High-way how many do you think of these men with half Pikes and Skeines would come to your assistance not one of them He engage But if a House or Town be to be Plundered they all run thither All Riots and Routs are to be enquired into numbers of People may meet for their own defence if they should hear or see the Countrey Robbing and Spoiling By a riotous Multitude coming to Burn and Rob their Houses in this case they may meet and desend their Goods and apprehend the Robbers in order to bring them to Justice but after all this they are not to contest with the Government nor do any thing to the prejudice of that I told you I would not trouble you with unnecessary matters all are lost in the greatest of Crimes and Outrages that are committed daily in the Countrey round about If I should go through all the Heads of this Charge it would take up more time than we have to spend here and therefore I shall shut up all and say no more than this that every man do apply himself to his Husbandry and Tillage to prevent that imminent danger of an approaching Famine that seems to be coming upon us and that you make it your business to search after and bring to Judgment those Robbers that live on the Mountains and while you continue to do your duty you shall have all the Protection the Government can give you So upon complaint of any Justice of the Peace that shall be backward or unwilling to appear against them care shall be taken to punish such and make them Examples Go together Gentlemen and consider of these things The Prisoners brought into Court.
