A Countrie-fellow was subpoena'd for a wit∣ness upon a tryal of an action of defamation, at a Quarter-sessions holden in the countrey: he being sworn, the Judg bid him to say the verie same words that he heard spoken; the fellow was loath to speak, and hum'd and haw'd for a good space; but being urged by the Judge, he at last spake, My Lord, said he, you are a rogue: the Judg seeing the people begin to laugh, called to him, and bid him to speak to the Jewry, for there was twelve of them.
