FORE-M. My Lord, This is all I had in Commission. OBSER. Here some of the Jury seemed to buckle to the Questions of the Court; upon which, _Bushel, Hammond_, and some others, opposed themselves, and said, they allowed of no such Word, as an unlawful Assembly in their Verdict; at which the Recorder, Mayor, _Robinson_ and _Bloodworth_ took great occasion to villifie them with most opprobrious Language; and this Verdict not serving their Turns, the Recorder express'd himself thus. REG. The Law of _England_ will not allow you to part till you have given in your Verdict. JURY. We have given in our Verdict, and we can give in no other. REC. Gentlemen, you have not given in your Verdict, and you had as good say nothing; therefore go and consider it once more, that we may make an end of this troublesome Business. JURY. We desire we may have Pen, Ink and Paper. OBSER. The Court adjourn'd for half an Hour; which being expired, the Court returns, and the Jury not long after. The Prisoners were brought to the Bar, and the Jury's Names called over. CLER. Are you agreed of your Verdict? JUR. Yes. |
