Sir J. MANSFIELD called on the Prisoner for his
defence, if he had any to make. This BELLINGHAM
said he wished to be left to his Counsel, but one of
them observing that they could not by law do this,
he, the Prisoner, begged the interference of the Court,
that he might obtain the Papers which were taken from
him by Geu. GASCOIGNE, on which he said he would
