Observator in London, Middlesex

Observator case of a bill found against me at the Old Bailey

The writer describes a London report that a bill was found against him at the Old Bailey for writing against Papists. He claims the Grand Jury were honest Protestant gentlemen and did not find guilt in such “crime.” He details a plot to intimidate printers and witnesses, naming Robert Stevens as a former press messenger and accusing him of perjury and malice. He asserts no government authority supported the bill and denounces the allegations as false and injurious.
