CLER. Who shall speak for you?
JUR. Our Fore-man. CLER. What say you, look upon the Prisoners: Is _William Penn_ Guilty in Manner and Form, as he stands indicted, or Not Guilty? FORE-M. Here is our Verdict, holding forth a piece of Paper to the Clerk of the Peace, which follows; We _the Jurors, hereafter named, do find_ William Penn _to be Guilty of Speaking or Preaching to an Assembly, met together in_ Gracechurch-Street, _the 14th of August last, 1670_. _And that_ William Mead is _Not guilty of the said Indictment_. Fore-m. _Thomas Veer, Edward Bushel, John Hammond, Henry Henley, Henry Michel, John Brightman, Charles Milson, Gregory Walklet, John Baily, William Lever, James Damask, Wil. Plumsted._ OBSER. This both Mayor and Recorder resented as so high a rate, that they exceeded the Bounds of all Reason and Civility. |
