In which Surprizeing News, Grisly Execution and Wine
January: This was at first very surprizeing news, and terrified most people, being at a time when such a hellish conspiracy was first discovered, but after it prov'd to be a very good thing; and the nation is infinitely oblidged to those ministers who gave the advice for dissolving that parliament, who would in a little time have given away all the nation was worth; and the court quickly found their error, but it could not be retrieved.
On the 17th of the last month William Ireland, a Jesuite, Thomas Pickering, and John Grove, were tryed at the Old Baily for high treason, in conspireing the destruction of the kings person, the subversion of the government, and extirpation of the protestant religion; and were, upon full evidence, convicted of the same, and received sentence of death, as in cases of high treason.
The 24th, William Ireland and John Grove (Thomas Pickering being reprieved for some time) were drawn from Newgate to Tyburn, and there hang'd and quartered, according to the aforesaid sentence. They denied all they were accused off.
The latter end of this month came out his majesties proclamation for prizeing of wines.
