Now,  my  lord,  I  will  so  far  agr^  with  my
brother,  that  in  making  out  this  charge  before
the  jury,  it  will  be  necessary  for  me  to  satisfy
them  that  he  had  a  criminal  intention :  and
if  my  bfoUier  can  show  me  that  the  &cts
charged  in  this  indictment  do  come  within
the  treason  act  of  Edward  3d,  we  shall  very
soon  make  a  short  argument  of  this  case,  be*
cause  I  shall  immediately  desert  the  diet. —
We  shall  have  no  more  trial  upon  this  indict-
ment, but  I  shall  immediately  apply  to  your
lordships,  that  that  gentleman  be  committed
for  high  treason.    It  is  a  thing  I  have  fully
considered,  and  I  am  perfectly  satisfied.    I
have  no  doubt  of  provme  the  intention,  of
which  the  jury  will  judge,  and  that  they
amount  to  something  which  is  very  near  trea-
son, the  mo6t  aggravated  species  of  sedition
that  can  be  imagmed.
My  lord,  the  only  other  point  for  censide-.
