The Trial of Charles Bateman, Chirurgeon, At the Session's-House in the Old-Baily, on Wednesday, Decemb. 9.1685.
HIS Indictment was for High-Treason, in conspiring the Death of the late King. To which (after some offer to have said some∣thing for himself, in order to put off his Trial, which Mr. Recorder would not admit of) he pleaded, Not Guilty. Then urging his unpre∣paredness, want of notice of his Trial, and great indisposedness, by reason of his close Imprisonment for ten Weeks, he desired his Trial might be put off; but it would not be granted.
His Jurors were,
- Richard Aley, Esq
- ...Richard Williams,
- ...John Cannum,
- ...Patrick Barret,
- ...John Palmer,
- ...James Raynor,
- ...Edward Redish,
- ...George Lilburn,
- ...Daniel Fouls,
- ...Peter Floyer,
- ...Lawrence Cole,
- ...John Cooper.
To whom the Indictment being read, Mr. Phips (Counsel for the King) opened the Case, and was seconded by Mr. Serjeant Selby, and Mr. Charles Moloy.
