THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE CONSPIRATORS Who were Tryed at the Sessions-House in the Old-Bayly , on the 12th of this Instant July , Anno 1683. for Treasonably designing and intending to Murther His Most Sacred MAJESTY , and His Royal Brother the Duke of YORK , &c.

Entred according to ORDER .

ONE Keeling , an Oylman by Trade , having upon a regret of Conscience discovered a Damnable design carryed on by divers disafected persons , to Murther His Most Sacred Majesty and his Royal Highness , &c. and to Subvert the Government by Law Established ; in which Conspiracy divers Eminent persons were involved ; upon which discovery , one Mr. West , a Counsellor at Law , having the like perplexity of Mind , revealed the horrid Secret to some of his Relations , who caused him to surrender himself , whereupon His Majesty being sensible of the Horrid Conspiracy against His Royal Person , and the Person of His Royal Brother Issued out His Proclamation to Apprehend divers of the Conspirators ; upon which , not only several of those therein mentioned , but divers others Impeached were Apprehended , many of them confessing the wicked intention in it to be abhorred circumstances : whereupon notice , as the Law in that case provides , was given to Capt . Tho . Wallcot , John Rouse , William Hone , and Will . Black , to prepare for Tryal at the Sessions-house in the Old-Bayley , on this 12th of July , Anno 1683. At what time the Prisoners being brought , the Jury , consisting of Gentlemen of known worth and Loyalty , were called over and Impanelled : After which the Indictment was Read , the substance of which was , That the Prisoners had Trayterously and maliciously conspired against the Life of His Sacred Majesty , him to Death and final destruction to put , &c. To which they Pleaded Not Guilty . Whereupon the Three latter were Arraigned , and Wallcot Tryed .

The Evidence for the King were called and Sworn , who deposed , That the Prisoners had at divers times , and in divers places , held Consults , and contrived the pernitious and Treasonable design against the Life of His Most Sacred Majesty , His Royal Highness , &c. and that they in order thereto , had made preparations at divers and sundry times , and in divers and sundry places ; with many other aggravating circumstances , which was curiously inquired into , both by the Court and Council for the King ; and after a full hearing on each side , the Court gave the charge , exposing the heinousness of the Trayterous Conspiracy in its proper colours , and urging home the fat●l consequences that would have attended so great a wickedness had it took effect : Upon which the Jury , after some debate , returned their Verdict , which was , That the Prisoners was Guilty of High-Treason .
