Excerpt from The Trials of Jeremiah Brandreth, William Turner, Isaac Ludlam, George Weightman, and Others, for High Treason, Vol. 2 of 2: Under a Special Commission at Derby, on Thursday the 16th, Friday the 17th, Saturday the 18th, Monday the 20th, Tuesday the 21st, Wednesday the 22d, Thursday the 23d, Friday the 24th, and Saturday the 25th of October, 1817; With the Antecedent ProceedingsGentlemen, my learned friends have addressed to you an obscuration upon the subject of the nature of the Court and of the Tribunal m which this Prisoner at the bar is tried they'have told you, that the Attorney and Solicitor General, with an array of Counsel, come down here, I think the phrase was, as it we1e to make or levy wa1 upon these P1isoners, under a special commission, and that this is not. Conducted at the common and ordinary tribunal of the assizes, which are holden twice a year in this county why gentlemen, let it be recollected, and my learned friends should have recollected, that unless the proceeding were underaspecial commission, the trial of these men must have been postponed from the last assizes till the next; for that statute which has given the Prisoner the benefit and the right to the two Counsel who have been heard on his behalf by you, actually prevented, from its rules and regu lations in favour of prisoners, these trials from being decided at the last assizes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
