Parliament concerning Shaw's action against them, which came to
trial at Guildhall 16th of July last (see No. 65 above), when the
jury returned them guilty, and gave 500l. damages to plaintiff
besides costs. They conceive that the damages would have been

being guilty thereof they pray the Lords for relief and stay of
proceedings meanwhile. [1½ pp.] Prewritten, |

finds that the right thereof was in the Queen when it was
granted to Sir William Russell, which puts him to the
charge of passing it anew. [½ p.] |
