THE Proceedings at the Kings-Bench-Bar Upon the Execution of the Writ of Enquiry of Damages At the SUIT of His ROYAL HIGHNESS the DUKE of YORK , AGAINST TITUS ( formerly stild Doctor ) OATES .

THis day being the last day of Trinity-Term , was a Writ of Enquiry of Damages at the Kings-Bench-Bar , in an Action upon the Statute deScandalis magnatum , at the Suit of His Royal Highness the Duke of York against Titus Oates ; who denying to plead , suffer'd Judgment upon him by nil dicit : And in regard of the Eminency of the Person who is Plaintiff , and of the Notoriousness of the Defendant , it was pray'd by His R. Highness's Council , That for the more solemnity of the matter , and to sa●isfie all persons who may be curious to pique at the Proceedings at Law , that it should be try d at the Kings-Bench-Bar , though it be a thing very unusual , being ordinarily done before the Sheriff in his County . There appeared a very substantial Jury of Knights , Esquires , and Gentlemen , to the number of Fifteen , who without going from the Bar , ( as well upon the words within the Record , as upon the Evidence of a great number of worthy and credible Witnesses , which strengthen'd it ) gave Damages to His Royal Highness of 100000 l.

The Lord-Chief-Justice most faithfully and learnedly summ'd up the Evidence , and descanted upon the evil consequences that attended such Insolence as presumed to reproach and calumniate the Peers of the Realm , more especially a person so near and dear to the King and Crown as His Royal Highness , whom the said Oates hath be spatterd and traduc'd in all Companies he came into , since the beginning of his Evidenceship in 78. calling him Traytor , Rascal , and such-like horrid names , and charging Him with being in the Plot , with firing the City , and raising the Army at Black-Heath , in order to introduce Popery , and cut all the True Protestants Throats . He likewise was pleas d to give him the Epithet of a Son of a w — ; And after preaching in the City , being invited by some of his Auditory to a Glass of Wine , he asked them , If any of them ever eat or drank with York ? ( because His Royal Highness had done that Royal Favour to some of the Societies of the City to Honour them with His presence ) but Oates told them , If any of them did , he would not eat or drink with any that eat or drank with the Devil . He left them , and went to a Braziers House , ( his Face having a Sympathy with the Calling . ) Another Gospel-expression of his at Oxford was , That he hop'd if the Devil had had one place hotter than other in Hell , he would reserve it for the Duke of Y — . Much more of the No Doctor's stuff of this kind was sworn against him , and without difficulty believed by the Jury ; which is a means to secure his present Lodgings , until he is removed by some extraordinary means , which probably may soon happen .
