L. Mohun, Report from the Committee for considering of his Indictment, &c.
The Earl of Rochester reported from the Lords Committees appointed to consider of the Matter of the Indictment and Proceedings against Charles Lord Mohun,
in relation to the Death of William Hill, as follows;
(videlicet,)
"That their Lordships have been attended by Mr.
White, the Coroner of Middl'x; who said, "He had
returned the Inquisition into the Crown-office;" but
he produced the Verdict of his Jury, which was for
Manslaughter; and said, "That, since he took his
Inquisition, a Bill hath been preferred in the King's
Bench against the Lord Mohun, and the Grand Jury
found Billa vera; the Bill was for Murder; it being the
Coroner's Duty, notwithstanding the Verdict of Manslaughter, to prefer a Bill for Murder, he being fineable if he should not do so." He said further, "That he
hath known, when a Bill hath been preferred for
Murder, that the Grand Jury hath found Billa vera,
Manslaughter; but the Judges have blamed them for
so doing, and have caused a new Bill to be drawn."
It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the further Consideration of the Report made this Day, from the Lords
Committees appointed to consider of the Matter of the
Indictment and Proceedings against Charles Lord Mohun,
in relation to the Death of William Hill, shall be resumed on Tuesday the Fourth Day of January next."

of January next, at Eleven of the Clock; and that
some of the Judges do then attend.
Message from H. C. with a Bill.
A Message from the House of Commons, by Mr.

Who brought up a Bill, intituled, "An Act to give

of England;" to which they desire the Concurrence of
this House.
