John Bradshaw
BY Rev. Thomas B. Gregory

TOHN BRADSHAW. the man
who presided over the court
~ that tried King Charles the
First was born 81 years ago
February 24,-16O2
When the famous "Rump" parlia-
ment passed its resolutions for the
trial of the king and the peers re-
iected them. the house of lords went
down like a house of cards before
this broadside from the commons:
The people are, under God. the
fountain of all just power. The
commons of England. in parliament
assembled being chosen by and
representing the people, have the
supreme power in this nation, and
whatsoever is enacted and declared
by the commons hath the force of
law, and all the people of this ma
tion are governed thereby, although
the consent of the house of lords be
not had thereuntO," 1t is said that
this extinguisher came from the
brain and heart of John Bradshaw.
1t was quite natural, therefore,
that the parliament. in looking for
some one to preside over the body
of commissioners who were to try
the king, should pitch upon Brad
shaw, a man rough and direct in his
methods. but honest as the day,
and absolutely fearless when it
came to doing what he believed to
be his duty.
1t is unnecessary to dwell upon
the memorable trial which ended
on the fifth day, with the condem-
nation of the king as "a traitor.
murderer and enemy Of his coun-
try" Bradshaws conscience never
troubled him for the part that he
took in the trial.
When, with the turn of fortunes
wheel, Cromwell began to loom up.
Bradshaw was one of the very few
men in England who had the cour-
age to withstand him when. in his
Judgment, he overstepped the mark
1t was Bradshaw who. after Crom
well had dissolved the long parlia-
ment, looked the general of the
Ironsides squarely in the eve and
said to him: I'VE have heard what
you did this morning at the house.
and in some hours all England will
hear of it. But you mistake. sir. if
you think the parliament dissolved.
No power on earth can dissolve the
parliament but itself Be sure of
that Pretty bold words for a man
to speak to Cromwell.
But the man was not to be found
of whom John Bradshaw was afraid
and time and again during the Pro-
tectorate Bradshaw showed himself
the uncompromising adversary of
the man at whose voice all Europe
trembled An ardent republican,
and a cordial hater of every form
of undemocrattc rule, Bradshaw
Withdrew from parliament. but re-
entered public life after the abdi-
cation of Richard Cromwell. He
died in November. 1859. and was
buried in the Great Abbey. At the
Restoration his body was disin
terred and exposed on gibbet
along with those Of Ireton and
Cromwell.
1t may be of some interest to
readers Of English history to note
the fact that, about a year ago, at
Coolree Farm Lodge, on the south
ern slope of the famous three
rocks, near Wexford, there passed
away Mr.. Robert Armstrong Brad
shaw, the last lineal descendant Of
the man who presided over the
court that sent Charles the First to
his execution.
