The Lord High Steward asked Leave for the Judges to be covered.

Which was granted.

E. of Warwick at the Bar:

Proclamation being made for the Chief Governor of His Majesty's Tower of London to bring to the Bar Edward Earl of Warwick and Holland:

He, by the Deputy Governor, immediately brought him; and the Earl, kneeling, was bid stand up.

The Lord High Steward represented to him the State and Condition he was in; and how he stood indicted, and for what.

The Earl of Warwick and Holland then desiring Pen, Ink, and Paper: It was allowed him.

The Clerk of the Crown in the King's Bench read the Indictment to him in English; and arraigned him; asking him, "If Guilty, or Not?" He pleaded, "Not Guilty."

Then the Clerk asked him, "How he would be tried?" He said, "By GOD and his Peers."

After Proclamation for all Persons to come in, who could give Evidence against Edward Earl of Warwick and Holland; the Lord High Steward asked Leave to come to the Woolsack. Which was granted.

Then the King's Attorney General, and others of the King's Counsel, opened the Evidence; and several Witnesses were fully heard upon Oath.

The Earl of Warwick and Holland was acquainted, by the Lord High Steward, "That this was the Time for him to make his Defence."

Who was heard; and several Witnesses for him (but not upon Oath).

He proposed Mr. French to be heard as a Witness, who was One of the Accessaries, and had been found Guilty of Manslaughter, but not burnt in the Hand, nor had His Majesty's Pardon.

The King's and Lord Warwick's Counsel were severally heard to that Matter. And then the Judges, being thereunto required, gave their Opinions against French's being examined, he having not been burnt or pardoned.

Whereupon the House agreed, he was not a legal Witness; and so not heard.

Then His Majesty's Solicitor General desired of the Earl of Warwick and Holland, to know, "Whether he had any Thing further to say?" He answered, No."

Mr. Solicitor having summed up the whole Evidence:

Adjourn to the House:

The House adjourned to the House of Lords; and the Lords and others returned back in the same Manner as they came down; save only the Judges, who stayed in the Hall.

The House being resumed;

Bishops Protestation on withdrawing.

The Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, in Behalf of himself and the rest of the Bishops, offered a Protestation.

Which was read, and agreed to, as followeth; (videlicet,)

"The Lords Spiritual of the House of Peers do desire the Leave of this House, to be absent from the Trial of Edward Earl of Warwick and Holland; by Protestation, saving to themselves and their Successors all such Right in Judicature as they have had by Law, and of Right ought to have.

Then he asked Leave, "That they might withdraw:" Which being agreed to, they immediately withdrew.

ORDERED, That the Court in Westminster Hall be cleared, and the Passage to it lighted as much as may be: And it is recommended to the Lord Great Chamberlain, to see and give Order that it be done accordingly.

Method of Peers giving their Judgement:

It was proposed, and agreed, "That those Peers who were of that Opinion, should declare it in these Words (when they severally give their Judgements in the Court below); "Not Guilty of the Felony and Murder whereof he stands indicted, upon my Honour; but Guilty of Manslaughter."

Agreed, "That the Earl of Warwick be told, he can have the Benefit of the Statute for Manslaughter but Once."

The House being again called over by the Clerk:

Adjourn to Westminster Hall:

The House was adjourned to the Court below; and the Lords and others went down in the same Manner as before; save only the Bishops, who had Leave to withdraw as before.

Peers give their Judgement.

The Lord High Steward being seated on his Chair, and Proclamation for Silence made; the House proceeded to Judgement.

And the Lord High Steward began with the Youngest Baron first; and asked him, "Whether Edward Earl of Warwick and Holland is Guilty of the Felony and Murder whereof he stands indicted, or Not Guilty?"

He answered, "Not Guilty of the Felony and Murder whereof he stands indicted; but Guilty of Manslaughter, upon my Honour."

In the same Words the Lord High Steward asked every other Peer; and they answered to the same Effect.

The Lord High Steward gave his Opinion, standing at the Chair; as he did, when he asked the other Lords their Judgements.

E. of Warwick found guilty of Manslaughter.

Then the Lord High Steward declared, "That Edward Earl of Warwick and Holland was acquitted of the Felony and Murder whereof he stood indicted; but was found Guilty of Manslaughter."

After, Proclamation was made for the Prisoner to be brought to the Bar.

Who being there; the Lord High Steward acquainted him, "That the Peers had unanimously acquitted him of the Felony and Murder whereof he stood indicted; but found him Guilty of Manslaughter." And then asked him, "What he had to say, why Sentence of Death should not pass upon him?"

He craved the Benefit of the Statute of Edward the Sixth.

The Lord High Steward said,

"My Lord,

"Your Lordship hath demanded the Benefit of your Peerage, upon the Statute; and your Lordship must have it by that Law: But I am directed by their Lordships to acquaint your Lordship, That you cannot have the Benefit of that Statute Twice; and therefore, they hope, your Lordship will take Care to behave yourself in such Manner for the future, as that you may never fall into the like Misfortune; and they hope your Lordship will take Warning by what has now happened. And your Lordship is discharged."

The House adjourned to the House of Lords, and went back in the same Manner they came down.

Being come thither, and the House being resumed, the following Orders were made; (videlicet,)

E. Warwick discharged:

"Whereas Edward Earl of Warwick and Holland was this Day tried, and found Guilty of Manslaughter only; to which he pleaded the Statute of Edward the Sixth: It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the said Edward Earl of Warwick and Holland shall be, and he is hereby, discharged from the Imprisonment he lies under in His Majesty's Tower of London, paying his Fees; and this shall be a sufficient Warrant on that Behalf.
