This hi ing the first day of Term, the Lord Chancellor entered
Westminster-hail with the usual state
Solictuw•General applied to the Court by petition from the
Chancellor, masters, anti scholars of Oxford, and front the Ch%neellor,
snasters, and scholars of Cambridge, for an order to restrain Wheatly
fmm selling copies of the Bible and of the Prayer-book. Wheatly had
got those books printed in Scotland, and having imported them into
England, lie tore nut the title-puges, and havint4 forged other title-
pages. represented that they were printed in England. But the
forgery deviled itself; for although the tide-page prefixed to the
Bible was thus forged, the other title-page prefixed to the New Tes-
tament remained unaltered. This was a subject that had formerly
been before his I.onlslrip, and there could not be a doubt of the right
petitioners and the regularny of the application.
