Dunich Arrest.

Whereas it was Ordered the Nineteenth of this Fe bruary, That Thomas Dudson, Prisoner in the Fleet, for the Arrest of Edmond Dunrich, a Stannary Man, and Servant to the Earl of Pembrooke, should be brought hither this Day, and certain Witnesses in the said Order mentioned, to prove a Plot and Practice for the Infringement of the Liberties of the Stannaries; the said Dudson appeared, and the said Dunrich exhibited a long Petition of the whole Manner of Proceedings against him in the King's-Bench; and prayed, that Dudson, and some other Officers of that Court, might be interrogated concerning the same, and of some Words spoken by one of the Judges of the said Court.

The Petition being read, the Parties were withdrawn, and the House considered thereof. Dunrich being brought to the Bar again, and kneeling, the Lord Keeper (by Commandment of the House) rebuked him for this general Scandal laid on the Court of the King's Bench, wherein he doth fix no Charge upon any in particular, but petitioneth that this House would interrogate the Officers of that Court to win out somewhat against them; and therefore his Petition is rejected; but, if he will charge any one with Particulars, their Lordships will hear him.

And so his Petition was delivered him again, and the said Thomas Dudson discharged of his Imprisonment, paying his Fees.
