follows:
"To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and
Temporal in Parliament assembled.
The humble Petition of Thomas Earl of Stamford;
Sheweth,
"That your Petitioner, In July last, was taken into
Custody, at his own House in Leicestershire, by Mr.
Atterbury, One of the Messengers of His Majesty's
Chamber; and being brought to London, was, by the
Earl of Sunderland's Warrant, committed Prisoner
to The Tower, for High Treason, in conspiring the
Death of the late King; where he now is, and ever
since hath remained a close Prisoner, and hath not
had the Use of Pen, Ink, or Paper, except to sign
Petitions in the Gentleman Porter's or Warder's
Presence; notwithstanding all which, he takes Leave
to assert to your Lordships, that he is innocent of the
Crime laid to his Charge, and, on the contrary, hath
endeavoured to behave himself with all Duty and
Loyalty to the King, and to His Royal Brother of
glorious Memory: Nevertheless, he hears there is an
Indictment of High Treason found against him; but
where, when, or how, or upon what Evidence, or
for what Matters, he knows not.
The Premises considered; he most humbly prays,
That your Lordships, according to the ancient
Course of Proceedings of this most Honourable
House, will be pleased to order your Petitioner to be brought before your Lordships
in your House of Parliament, there to hear
the Matters charged against him; and that
thereupon such further Proceedings may be
had, as are agreeable to Justice, and the usual
Course of Parliamentary Proceedings in Cases
of the like Nature.
"And your Petitioner shall ever pray, &c.
"Stamford."
Hereupon the House made the ensuing Order:
Indictment to be returned by Certiorari before the Lords.
