"To shew your Lordships, the King hath given Order for a speedy Prosecution of him; the Treason whereof he is accused was committed in Cheshire; and that being a County Palatine, the Prosecution must be there, and not in the Court of King's Bench, as it might be if the Treason had been committed in any other County; and therefore His Majesty hath given Order for a Commission of Oyer and Terminer, in order to the finding of an Indictment against him, which Commission is already passed; and if the Indictment be not found before the End of the Term, the Lord Delamer's Prayer being entered in the King's Bench, he must be bailed."
