Gentlemen of the Crawl Jury—We are assembled oe
this occasion, under the authority of his. Majesty's Special
Commission, for the 'impose of hearing and inquiring into
certain kills of indictment, which will be laid before you,
charging certain persons, brat, with high treason; secondly,
moisvrisiuto of high (resumes ; and thirdly, to inquire lunch-
ing the wilful murder of Richard Suotheus, and any other
crime ur offence touching the death of the said Richard
&Dithers, sud any other offence or offences agatual, touch-
inx, or concerning the persons of Fredei irk Vitselarenee, Wm.
I.rgg, James Ellis, John Surtoan, William Westeoatt,
Clow Brook,John Maddock, and Beisjamin Gill, or any of
Wm. contrary to the form of an Act wide and passed in
the 43d year of his late Majesty, anointed an Act fur the
further prevention of malicious shouting, ur attempting to
discharge loaded firearms, atabbiug, cutting. wounding,
poisoning, and She malicious using of means to procure the
miscarriage of women, the malicious setting fir/3 to build.
tugs, and other offences therein mentioned;—anal, Geutle.
man, it boa become my July to offer for your consideration,
some remarks muctiog the offences charged against the
parties in the bills of indictment, which shall Now he pre.
rented for your deliberation. Grutleuien, the clauses upon
which the charges of high treason in llionce bills
.ate (wind-
ed, are to be found in the Statute atillablidlumatder.
and in another Statute of the 36th of his late Majesty.
By the first °ribose Statutes it is declared to be high trea-
son, when any person duth imagine or compass the death of
the King; sod by the last it is ettacted, that if any person
shall comp s. or imagine the death of the King, or shall
attack the person of the King, or attempt to depose him
from the Crown of these Realms, or shall les y war •gaiost
his Majesty, or attempt by force to oblige bon to cLange
the rum-urea of bis Governmeitt, or shall by throat■ or tu-
mult attempt to overawe his Parliattout in their proceed-
ing., each of the person, so offending shall he deemed guilty
of high treason, sud suffer the penalties incurred thereby.
You will, therefore, Gentlemen, deliberately inquire, •he-
tber the charger submitted to your consideration shall
be poured to your sottsfaciou, imputing to the parties
the crime of imagining sod couipassirg the King's death.
ur intei..ling to imprison his proms, or depose him front the
throne of these re.illue' or Ili), war against him; sud it
may he necessary to observe to you, that it is further enacted
by the Statute last mentioned, that if a party shall express
his opinion by writing ur pinning in aid aud furtherance of
such treasonable purposes, be shall incur also the guilt of
high treason ; fur the law Ins provided, that its cases of this
stature, the intention shall constitute the crime; but it
U nt the same time, require, that the guilty intention
shall br nrinifsated by some act of the party to evince his
reimi ins I purpose.
" Bifure the passing of the late Statute, according to Ilia
opiniouis of all the moat eminent tritt.writen upon the sub-
ject, it was held to be the law of this land, that all persons
guilts of overt mu for rompassiug or imagining the
hives death, were guilty of bigk 'ewes and by the late
Act, at.), attempt to restrain his person, or to levy war
against him, or to oblige him to champ the measures of his
Gqivi mimeo, is high treason It may be also requisite fur
rue to slate to you that it is by ou means necessary, in order
to constitute the levying of *car, that His parties should ap-
pear in open array of assns. Rein Ilion rarely makes its brat
appearntwe by • display of military force; but begins by
w net preparation, stud proceeds by degrees. Bet, as I have
already stated to you, any attempt by force, to overawe his
Majesty to his &recruit'. tit, is of itself in overt act of trea-
son, and all the parsers acting in Mil of such a purpose, are
equally this crone the law allows of no accts.
aeries, for all parties su offending, are deemed principals.
Vie Loral-hip having laid dun n tie law as affecting high
oext proceeded In &fine misprision of 'mascot as •
wilful co:ice-anneal of any treason existing against Ilia Ma.
jeaty; lief, in miler to constitute the guilt of Ibis crime, by
which the pally offending incurred the loss of his estate sad
property, and other licAvy penalties it was necessary that
he 'humid actually know of the treason existing, for men
hearsay, without further knowledge, would and expose him
to Ihr penalties of cencealnseist. But every loyal subject
