The Lives of the Lord Chancellors and Keepers of the Great Seal of England ... By John Campbell Campbell: "conviction of Anthony Earl of Shaftesbury for high treason CHAP and of his gallant behaviour on the scaffold The two Chief x Justices Pemberton and North presided at the Old Bailey A 1681_ both devoted tools of the government The former charged Of indict the Grand Jury and instead of telling them that though etdpre the proceeding was ex parte and not conclusive a case must be made out against the prisoner which if not answered would be sufficient to convict him of high treason said That which is referred to you is to consider whether upon the evidence given to you there be any reason or ground for the King to call this person to an account You are not to judge the person"
