had  not  remembered  ;  for  I  remember  it  was
a  reflection  upon  his  memoryi  that  his  memory
was  not  better.}  but  commended  his  iovcntiMi
mightily.  So  that  this,  ^;entlemen,  is  a  le-*
maikaUe  thing.  TheV  give  you  that  instance
to  justify  what  was  said  by  Mr.  Blaney.  Now,
gentlemen,  1  have  said  aU  Ai^  ^  yon,  we  must
rely  upon  these  things.  They  ask,  whc^er-
any  thing  that  was  said,  was  positive  P  ft  wa»
a  mal  larted  some  hours  ;  and  I  think  sir  Pa-
tience Ward  was  an  hour  in  examining.  Did
he  say  any  word  positively  P  Can  any  man  an-^
swer  such  a  question  P  It  is  an  impertinent

auestion.  Gentlemen,  upon  those  three  mattov
tiat  are  assigned,  whereof  he  was  accused;  as'
for  those  three  things,  they  are  answered  paiti-
cularly.  Gentlemen,  now  we  are  in  your
hands,  and  the  question  is,  what  you  will  da
in  our  case  P  Here  i»  a  positive  prcwf  ibr  us  ;
all  the  presumptions  thi&  can  be  for  u^;  here
is  the  proof  of  our  repi#tation ;  here  is  nothing'
against  the  gentleman's  reputation;  and  a
man  of  honour  hiod  rather  be  tried  tor  his  bead,
than  for  his  ears.  1  knowj  gentlemen,  .yoa
are  men  of  value,  men  •  that  value  your  own
reputation ;  I  leave  it  to  you,  whether  you
can  in  conscience  say,  upon  your  oaths,  that
this  gentleman  is  guilty  of  wifirol  peijury.
