He confessed he was drawn in and constrained Once to fit in that pretended Court; for which he was heartily sorry. And his further Desires were expressed in a Petition which is before their Lordships, which he humbly desired may be taken into Consideration.

and Sir H. Mildmay.

After this, Sir Henry Mildmay was in the same Manner brought to the Bar. And the Speaker told him likewise what Pains, Penalties, and Forfeitures, were to be enacted against him, by an Act from the House of Commons; and demanded what he could say for himself, why the Bill should not pass against him.

He confessed he sat Once in that Court, and no more, and was heartily sorry for the same; and begged for Mercy.

Wallop's Pet. about it.

Also a Petition was presented, in Behalf of Mr. Wallop, being sick and not able to come in Person; which being read, he therein confessed he Once sat in that pretended High Court, for which he is heartily sorry.
