Together, with the opinion of the court thereupon. Whereunto is annexed, the petition of Sir Iohn Elliot Knight, in behalf of the liberty of the subject.

that_o if_o this_o return_v be_v not_o positive_o the_o return_n of_o the_o warden_n of_o the_o fleet_n himself_o but_o the_o relation_n of_o another_o it_o be_v no_o good_a return_n therefore_o i_o
