Sir Ch. Wren's Answer about preparing a Place for Dr. Sacheverel's Trial.
The House being informed, "That Sir Christopher Wren
attended;" he was called in; and asked, by the Lord
Chancellor, "in what Time he could prepare a Place in
Westminster Hall, for the Trial of Doctor Henry Sacheverell."
Then he delivered his Answer, in Writing.
Which was read, as follows:
"To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual
and Temporal in Parliament assembled.
"May it please your Lordships.
In Obedience to your Lordships Order, "That Sir
Christopher Wren, Her Majesty's Surveyor General,
should give an Account, in what Time a Place can be
prepared for the Trial of Doctor Henry Sacheverell;"
I have looked back upon the Two last Trials, as they
are entered in the Books of the Office of Her Majesty's Works; and, having consulted with the Master
Carpenter and Officers and Artisans employed by
us, I find, that the First Trial of the Earl of Warwick and the Lord Mohun took up Three Weeks; and
the last Trial, which was for the impeached Lords,
took up Twelve Working Days and Nights, with a
Double Number of Hands: And, considering the Term
will hinder us some Part of the Days, and that the
Court is considerably bigger to accommodate both
Lords and Commons, we cannot conceive that it will
take up less than Twelve Days and Nights, with all
the Application that can be used.
"All which is humbly submitted.
Office of Works,
8th
February, 1709.
"Chr. Wren."
Then, he being withdrawn;
Message to H. C. that the Trial cannot be at the Time appointed.
A Message was sent to the House of Commons, by
Mr.Medlycot and Mr.Fellowes:
To acquaint them, that Her Majesty hath given Order,
that a Court be prepared in Westminster Hall, for the
Trial of Doctor Henry Sacheverell, which will take up
some Time; and that therefore the Trial cannot be at
the Time appointed; but that, as soon as the Place is
prepared, the House of Commons shall have Notice of
the Day of Trial.
Then Sir Christopher Wren was called in again, and
told, "That he must make what Haste he can, for
preparing a Place in Westminster Hall in the most
expeditious Manner."
